Wall Street analysts are busy publishing their 2023 lookahead pieces, and Cowen analyst Jeff Osborne is out with the big one — the firm’s Future of Mobility report.Osborne has partnered with 16 other analysts at the firm to map out what’s next in the nearly 500-page report, from electrification, to government regulation, to infrastructure, and even 5G and edge computing to give investors the lay of the land. Cowen has also listed 50 stocks to target for exposure.Key among the report’s findings is firm’s improved outlook for EV penetration, now hitting 21.4% by 2025 in the U.S., up from 9.6%. Osborne sees companies beyond the automakers benefiting from this big mobility trend.We see a variety of different companies benefiting at Cowen, starting with semiconductors. You have about two to three times the number of semiconductors in an electric vehicle as you do in internal combustion engine vehicle,” Osborne said in an interview with Yahoo Finance.“Some of the tier 1 suppliers that I cover— Aptiv (APTV), for example, is a top idea of mine, as well as Visteon (VC), but there's a variety of plays. Charging and lithium in particular as well are gating obstacles to grow the industry,” Osborne says.By “gating obstacles,” Osborne means there are some factors at play, such as charging infrastructure and lithium production, that are blocking theexpansion of the EV transformation in the U.S., but could prove to be strong investments down the line.“I think between now, and say 2027, you have a bit of a red line in the industry as to how quick this industry can grow, Osborn says.
