Overweight

Reason

JPMorgan initiated coverage of Garrett Motion with an Overweight rating and $23 price target, which offers 36% upside. Battery electric vehicles are likely to grow much less quickly than earlier expected, representing a "materially less headwind" to Garrett Motion's core internal combustion turbocharging business, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm expects Garrett to grow its turbocharger business over the medium-term with high visibility into market share gains.

Reason

Stifel raised the firm's price target on Garrett Motion to $21 from $20 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. Growth in 2025 for diversified industrials has largely been driven by tariff related price increases, again demonstrating these companies have superior pricing power, with volumes generally flat to down modestly, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm expects volume growth in 2026 to be primarily driven by the absence of, or at least lower, levels of inventory destocking combined with carryover pricing leading to low to mid single-digit revenue growth in 2026.

BWS Financial raised the firm's price target on Garrett Motion to $22 from $17 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The latest news from Europe that phasing out of the internal combustion engine would be extended beyond 2035, which would push the United Kingdom to follow suit, makes the bear thesis that has been one of the major overhangs on the shares of Garrett Motion "obsolete," the analyst tells investors.

Continued share gains in both passenger and commercial vehicles, as well as industrial, including data centers, give the firm confidence in the outlook for growth, the analyst tells investors.
