    The automotive component manufacturer is down 14 percent over the past year. That’s in spite of a 10 percent increase in revenues and a 440 percent jump in earnings.

    While shares may be down in sympathy with the overall market and concerns over a slowing economy, shares trade at 10 times forward earnings. That’s inexpensive enough that shares could be set for a market-beating move higher when the economy starts to rally again.
    Action to take: The automotive space can be highly cyclical, so investors may want to look to buy shares on a drop closer to the stock’s 52-week low around $115. Shares currently yield 2.2 percent, but patient investors can get a higher starting yield.
