Here are 3 of analysts’ top picks today:

BorgWarner (BWA)

BorgWarner Guided Valuation Model (TIKR)

BorgWarner has positioned itself as one of the clearest Tier-1 beneficiaries of the auto industry’s electrification pivot. Long recognized for its drivetrain expertise in combustion engines, the company has aggressively redirected its portfolio toward EV components, including electric motors, power electronics, inverters, and integrated drive modules. Management has laid out a clear strategy, increase EV-related revenue from just 6% in 2022 to nearly 50% by the end of the decade, signaling not just incremental growth, but a wholesale reshaping of its business mix.

What makes BorgWarner particularly compelling is its ability to leverage its existing OEM relationships while scaling up EV-specific technologies at global volume. The company’s “Charging Forward” strategy, reinforced by targeted acquisitions like Delphi Technologies and AKASOL, shows a disciplined approach to capturing high-margin electrification niches. With automakers racing to meet global emissions targets and consumer demand shifting rapidly toward battery-electric vehicles, BorgWarner sits at the epicenter of this transformation, offering investors a supplier that is both legacy-resilient and future-focused.

TE Connectivity plc (TEL)

TE Connectivity plc Guided Valuation Model (TIKR)

TE Connectivity represents one of the most under-appreciated yet indispensable enablers of the EV ecosystem. Its core business, high-voltage connectors, wiring systems, sensors, and safety components, is not just incremental to EVs; it is mission-critical. Every EV requires substantially more electrical content than its combustion counterpart, and TE is a direct beneficiary of this rising “content per vehicle” trend. For example, high-voltage connectors that ensure safe energy transfer within battery packs, and advanced thermal and safety systems for battery management, are areas where TE’s solutions are increasingly non-optional for automakers.

The company’s global footprint and longstanding Tier-1 relationships mean that its products are embedded in virtually every major EV platform under development. Importantly, TE’s revenues are not overly reliant on a single automaker or geography, giving it diversification across the global adoption curve. While investors often chase more visible names in the EV value chain, TE offers a steadier, infrastructure-like growth profile, one that compounds as EV penetration accelerates. In many ways, TE is the quintessential “picks and shovels” play on the electrification boom.

Aptiv PLC (APTV)

Aptiv PLC Guided Valuation Model (TIKR)

Aptiv has evolved from a traditional parts supplier into a cutting-edge mobility technology company, and its EV relevance is profound. Its specialty lies in advanced electrical architecture and software systems, which are increasingly central to EV design. Unlike combustion vehicles, EVs require far more sophisticated power distribution, connectivity, and computing integration, and Aptiv’s solutions, from wiring harnesses to high-voltage distribution units, enable automakers to simplify architectures while reducing weight and cost. The company is also deeply embedded in ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) and autonomous driving solutions, which often develop in tandem with EV platforms.

What sets Aptiv apart is its dual role as both a hardware and software enabler. Its recent announcement to spin off its “Signal & Power Solutions” business underscores management’s recognition that the EV and autonomy wave requires focus and capital intensity. Aptiv’s existing partnerships with major OEMs from Tesla competitors to legacy giants, cement its role as a behind-the-scenes integrator of EV technologies. For investors, Aptiv offers exposure not just to electrification, but to the broader mobility re-architecture, making it one of the most strategically positioned auto suppliers for the next decade.
