Stock number one: TRW Automotive Holdings Corp.

TRW/ZF: Safety first—Financial Times

In those dark days more than five years ago, one of those parts makers – TRW Automotive – saw its shares crash to around a buck. Compared to that, the takeover price of $105.60 Germany’s ZF Friedrichshafen will pay for TRW looks spectacular. Yet that price is only a 15 per cent premium to TRW’s price in July, when deal discussions were disclosed. With TRW poised to benefit from the eventual rollout of driverless cars, the price looks lower still.
