UPDATE: Jefferies Raises PT on Lear Corporation on 1Q Autos Preview

In a report published Tuesday, Jefferies analyst Peter Nesvold reiterated a Buy rating on Lear Corporation

, and raised the price target from $57.00 to $61.00. In the report, Nesvold noted, “Earnings start to trickle in for the autos starting Tuesday, April 23. While 1Q results should be reasonably uneventful, downward pressure is building on 2H:13 estimates due to a continued slide in European sales. Coupled with a 34% expansion of EBITDA multiples over the past six months, it's getting increasingly difficult to put incremental capital to work in the group.” Lear Corporation closed on Monday at $51.97.
