Do you see potential in a merger between Schaeffler and Vitesco to catch up with the major German automotive suppliers (Bosch, ZF and Continental) in the medium term? Or is there more of a risk that Schaeffler will once again do itself no favors by taking over a competitor?
I have only been involved with shares for a few weeks and have no in-depth knowledge of the automotive industry.
I was actually planning to invest on Wednesday in $VTSC (-0,28%) on Wednesday. But now it's like Schaeffler wants to buy in. Which is an interesting move.
History of Vitesco: Conti to Schaeffler. Contiteil to Vitesco and now back to Schaeffler.
Now, however, the share has risen by 20%, as expected. Does it still make sense to invest in it now?
Thanks a lot
"SCHAEFFLER family increases stake in VITESCO. The SCHAEFFLER company IHO has taken advantage of the reduced share price level and acquired 1.6 million VITESCO shares, increasing its stake by 4% to 49.99%. The Herzogenaurach-based company is betting on a faster breakthrough of electric cars. The former drive technology division of CONTINENTAL primarily addresses the topic of e-mobility. The product range covers all variants of electric drive, from 48-volt systems to hybrid technologies and high-voltage components. Fuel cell technology for heavy commercial vehicles is also a topic. VITESCO is poised for a massive jump in profits, according to Bloomberg. In the current year, earnings per share are estimated at €1.80. In 2023, it should already be €5.64 per share. The P/E ratio will then drop to just under 7, making VITESCO one of the cheapest automotive suppliers. With the share increase, the major shareholder rings to enter."

Automotive supplier. Attention the 3 can also end around 1 or 51.80%. More likely, however, is the yellow price sector.
