Regulation in Automotive Industry - Thematic Research

The automotive industry is one of the most heavily regulated industries in the world. Regulation has transformed the industry. From the regulatory bodies’ early focus on safety - precipitated by Ralph Nader’s seminal work in the 1960s - there’s been a pronounced shift to looking at the environmental impact. This first theme was improving air quality by regulating exhaust and fuels; latterly the focus has shifted to limiting CO2 emissions to mitigate global heating. As the industry enters its next transformational phase (electric vehicles are here and now) of autonomous vehicles, and regulators battle to adapt and adopt regulations that will maintain safety, but not stymie development, any auto player that gets ahead of the curve could enjoy the same degree of success in autonomous vehicles that Tesla’s enjoyed in EVs.

This report is part of our ecosystem of thematic investment research reports, supported by our “thematic engine”.

Scope

• The publisher has developed a unique thematic methodology for valuing technology, media and telecom companies based on their relative strength in the big investment themes that are impacting their industry. Whilst most investment research is underpinned by backwards looking company valuation models, the publisher’s thematic methodology identifies which companies are best placed to succeed in a future filled with multiple disruptive threats. To do this, the publisher tracks the performance of the top 600 technology, media and telecom stocks against the 50 most important themes driving their earnings, generating 30,000 thematic scores.
• The algorithms in the publisher’s “thematic engine” help to clearly identify the winners and losers within the TMT sector. Our 600 TMT stocks are categorised into 18 sectors. Each sector scorecard has a thematic screen, a risk screen and a valuation screen. Our thematic research ecosystem has a three-tiered reporting structure: single theme, multi-theme and sector scorecard. This report is a Multi-Theme report, covering all stocks, all sectors and all themes, giving readers a strong sense of how everything fits together and how conflicting themes might interact with one another.
