Vontier looking like a Buy to split EV difference, Barron’s says

The auto industry is stuck in limbo. Vontier (VNT) stock might just be getting out of it. Al Root writes in this week’s edition of Barron’s. Vontier, which makes a variety of gear for both gas-powered and electric vehicles spun out of Fortive (FTV) in 2020, leaving it in an in-between state as investors try to figure out what the company is and where its business is going. Despite the lackluster returns since the spin, Vontier is a stock that can win no matter what kind of car people decide to drive, the author says.
