Why Garrett Motion Inc. (GTX) Is Surging in 2025
Certain automotive companies have held up surprisingly well in the current environment, and that's especially true with companies that supply automotive parts. The high interest rate regime was supposed to crush automotive companies across the board, and early tariffs specifically targeted countries that produced the most automotive parts for the U.S.
Even then. These stocks have done well since high interest rates have made it difficult for low-income consumers to buy new cars. Instead, they have opted for repairing their existing vehicles, which has been a tailwind for automotive parts companies for the past two years. The average age of vehicles was already at a record 12.6 years in 2024, so this tailwind isn't going away anytime soon.
Customers who have higher incomes have kept on buying new vehicles. It is mostly because of them that consumer spending has held up across the board. Here are the biggest winners from this trend.
Even during bear markets, there are pockets of the market that perform exceptionally well. For example, I identified 15 Financial Services Stocks that are up the Most in 2025 in another article.

Intel Rallies Despite Fitch Downgrade
Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) got a surprise downgrade from Fitch this week, yet its stock popped about 3.6% anyway. The agency dialed down Intel's long-term credit rating from BBB+ to BBB, pointing to a tougher demand backdrop and the need for debt reduction and stronger product ramps over the next year or two. Short-term ratings stayed at F2, so it's not all doom and gloom. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 6 Warning Signs with INTC. At the same time, Intel's next-gen 18A process is acting up. Early reports suggest Panther Lake chips have roughly three times the defect rate they should, and volume ramps are lagging. That's a headache so close to the planned Q4 launch, especially when smooth ramp-up was supposed to prove we're past the worst of manufacturing woes. Still, investors seem to be looking past the short-term noise. Maybe a rebound in PC and data-center spendingor a clean bill of health at the August 12 bond covenant updatewill do the trick. The real verdict, though, will come with Q3 production progress and any signs that Panther Lake irons out its kinks. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
