Oppenheimer Reiterates Outperform Rating on Littelfuse Inc (LFUS)

Oppenheimer analyst Christopher Glynn reiterated an Outperform rating and $310.00 price target on Littelfuse Inc (NASDAQ: LFUS)

The analyst comments "

As announced last week, LFUS's next CEO, Dr. Greg Henderson (age 55), will replace current CEO and 40-year LFUS veteran Dave Heinzmann (61), effective 2/10/25. We observe that recurring investor inquiries to us pertain to the timing, which led to LFUS postponing its previously scheduled (for 2/26) Investor Day. The postponement reflects independent tracks for CEO succession and (long-term cadence for) ID planning: CEO process was a full board of directors process involving internal/external candidates, included external advisors, whereby Greg emerged as the strong leading fit, causing the process to culminate somewhat quickly. With the official succession established, the ID postponement decision reflects (1) the practical elements of affording Henderson time to immerse in the role and consider tweaks to strategy, and . . .. . . (2) the impractical notion of running ID through Heinzmann as a former CEO (he will remain on the board through 4/25 and as an advisor until 8/10/25). LFUS might have deferred on planning the ID at all, so perhaps some mis-coordination, but we think the practical and apparent considerations around deferring the ID are transparent as explained by LFUS and relayed above."
