PHINIA (PHIN) has moved into focus after a KeyBanc analyst initiated buy coverage, and Zacks assigned the stock a Rank of #2 (Buy), supported by recent positive earnings estimate revisions.

PHINIA’s recent analyst attention and earnings estimate upgrades come on top of strong price momentum, with a 30 day share price return of 9.43% and a 1 year total shareholder return of 93.19%, suggesting sentiment has shifted meaningfully in its favor.

In order for you to agree with the analysts, you'd need to believe that by 2029, revenues will be $3.8 billion, earnings will come to $252.2 million, and it would be trading on a PE ratio of 14.6x, assuming you use a discount rate of 9.2%.
