Street Calls of the Week
Investing.com - JPMorgan has double-upgraded Nemak SAB de CV (NEMAKA:MM) (OTC:NMAKF) from Underweight to Overweight with a price target of 6.00 Mexican pesos, implying approximately 45% upside potential.
The upgrade comes as JPMorgan sees limited downside risk in light vehicle production in the short term, noting that S&P Global recently revised North America volumes upward by 10% for the second half of 2025 compared to their previous April forecast.
JPMorgan cited the recently announced acquisition of GF Casting as a key factor that de-risks the investment case, potentially adding approximately 20% to their December 2026 price target, even excluding perpetuity value that remains at risk from electric vehicle disruption.
The firm also highlighted Nemak’s attractive valuation of 3.0x EV/EBITDA for 2026 estimates, representing a 15% discount to its five-year average, compared to JPMorgan’s target of 3.4x.
The Mexican auto parts manufacturer, which specializes in aluminum components for powertrains and body structures, has seen its investment outlook improve based on these factors, according to the JPMorgan analysis.
