High inflation, supply chain snarls, and high borrowing rates have challenged the auto industry over the past year. However, auto sales are expected to return to pre-pandemic levels this year, with a growth of 9%.
The auto parts industry’s prospects are closely linked to auto sales. To that end, it could be wise for investors to buy top-rated auto parts stocks Bridgestone Corporation (BRDCY), JTEKT Corporation (JTEKY), Modine Manufacturing Company (MOD), and Ituran Location and Control Ltd. (ITRN). These stocks are A (Strong Buy) rated in our POWR Ratings system and are trading under $25.
