These are the top 5 holdings of Bill Nygren
New Purchase: Delphi Auto Plc (DLPH)
Bill Nygren initiated holdings in Delphi Auto Plc. His purchase prices were between $19.63 and $22.13, with an estimated average price of $21.06. The impact to his portfolio due to this purchase was 0.37%. His holdings were 816,906 shares as of 12/31/2011. Delphi Automotive PLC is a vehicle components manufacturer and provides electrical and electronic, powertrain, safety and thermal technology solutions to the global automotive and commercial vehicle markets. Delphi Auto Plc has a market cap of $10.3 billion; its shares were traded at around $31.29 with and P/S ratio of 0.6.
This is the commentary of Bill Nygren on Delphi:
Delphi is a global leader in auto-parts manufacturing. Like its former parent company, GM, Delphi had a labor force that had accumulated such large post-retirement benefits that there was no value left for the owners of the business. Those liabilities forced Delphi into a 2005 bankruptcy filing. Through the bankruptcy process, Delphi was able to exit product lines where it had no competitive advantage, and it was able to give back to GM all of its UAW workers and their related post-retirement liabilities. The company returned to the public market via an IPO in November. Normally IPOs trading just below their offering price don’t strike us as values because the sellers tend to cherry-pick their timing. In Delphi's case, however, we believe the timing of the IPO had less to do with valuation than it did with its owners' need for liquidity. Delphi is expected to report EPS of about $3 for the year just ended. We expect that number to grow to about $4 over a couple of years due to emerging-market growth and a cyclical recovery in developed markets. We consider seven times trailing earnings and just over five times our estimate of 2013 earnings to be a bargain price for this industry leader.
