Leggett: A Long-Term Player That's Also Relatively Inexpensive
Leggett & Platt's vertical integration and restructuring plans are expected to enhance operating margins and free cash flow growth, making the stock undervalued at $9-$10. The company's stock repurchase program at $20 per share indicates confidence in its valuation, suggesting significant upside potential from the current price. Potential sale of the Aerospace segment could inject cash, reduce net debt, and improve overall valuation, further supporting the bullish outlook.
