The stock, currently trading at $128.76, has shown remarkable momentum with a 47% gain over the past six months, according to InvestingPro data.
The price target increase follows meetings between Guggenheim analysts and Visteon’s leadership team, including CEO Sachin Lawande, CFO Jerome Rouquet, and IR Kris Doyle, which left the research firm "incrementally more positive" on Visteon’s growth opportunities.
Guggenheim cited Visteon’s continued display business growth and emerging opportunities in artificial intelligence as key highlights from the meetings, along with encouraging commentary on production trends.
