Investing.com - BofA Securities has raised its price target on Sensata Technologies (NYSE:ST) to $32.00 from $27.00 while maintaining a Neutral rating on the stock. The stock, currently trading at $31.78, appears undervalued according to InvestingPro analysis, which shows a Fair Value above the current market price.
The firm expects Sensata to report second-quarter 2025 revenue of $939 million and earnings per share of $0.84, compared to Street estimates of $932 million and $0.83, respectively. This exceeds the midpoint of Sensata’s guidance, which projected $925 million in revenue and $0.83 in earnings per share. With earnings scheduled for July 29, InvestingPro data reveals the company maintains a FAIR Financial Health Score of 2.33, suggesting stable operational performance.
BofA Securities notes that Sensata’s guidance included $10-20 million of tariff pass-through, which might end up lower due to tariff delays. The firm models second-quarter operating margin at 18.8%, representing a 50 basis point increase quarter-over-quarter but a 20 basis point decrease year-over-year.
The operating margin projection aligns with Street estimates and sits at the high end of Sensata’s guidance range. BofA Securities suggests that if the pass-through tariff revenue is lower, the company could potentially see slightly better margin rates.
Despite the price target increase, BofA Securities maintains its Neutral rating, citing that positive factors such as the new CEO and relatively low valuation are offset by negatives including slow improvement in growth and margins.
