KeyBanc downgrades Autoliv Inc. (NYSE: ALV) from Buy to Hold. Price target $41.
KeyBanc analyst says, "As Autoliv has reached our $41 price target, we are downgrading it to HOLD from BUY. While we remain confident that ALV could generate 2011 normalized earnings in the $3.40-$3.90 range based on: 1) a gradual return to more normalized global light vehicle production levels; 2) a return to the high end of its historical operating margin range; and 3) organic revenue growth independent of production in the 3-5% range; we believe those assumptions are largely discounted into the current stock price. Over the near term, we continue to believe that ALV could meet or even exceed our earning estimates, and as such we are maintaining our earnings estimate of $0.51 (First Call consensus $0.43) for 2009 and $2.23 (First Call consensus
$2.41) for 2010.
