Why Dana Incorporated (DAN) Is Surging in 2025
We recently published an article titled Why These 15 Vehicles & Parts Stocks Are Surging In 2025. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Dana Incorporated (NYSE:DAN) stands against the other vehicles and parts stocks.
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.

UK economy contracted sharply in April after Trump's tariffs
The UK economy shrank more than expected in April as the worst of President Trump's tariffs hit, according to the latest official figures. The standard measure of economic output (GDP) contracted a sharp 0.3% in April, data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) showed. During the month, Mr Trump's so-called "Liberation Day" applied steep tariffs to countries around the world and sparked a trade war with China, the world's second-largest economy. It's worse than expected by economists. A contraction of just 0.1% had been forecast by economists polled by the Reuters news agency. Bad news for Reeves It's bad news for Chancellor Rachel Reeves, who has made the push for economic growth her number one priority. Additional costs on businesses were also levied during the month, as higher minimum wages and employer national insurance contributions took effect. When looked at over a three-month period, however, the economy grew. The expectation of trade upset looks to have pushed business activity forward to the first few months of the year.

Semi-conductor group Alphawave is latest tech company to quit London listing as it agrees £1.8bn takeover
Semi-conductor group Alphawave IP is to become the latest major London listed company to leave the stock market after agreeing a £1.8 billion takeover from US chip giant Qualcomm. The Gresham Street headquartered company told shareholders this morning it had finally struck a deal with its suitor after an extension for the takeover deadline was extended for the fifth time last week. Anglo-Canadian Alphawave listed in London in May 2021 when it sold £856 million of shares in an IPO valuing it at £3.1 billion. It is the latest in a stream of tech companies to quit their London listings. Last week fintech Wise said it is switching its primary listing to America. The deal overshadowed the launch of London Tech Week which was attended by Keir Starmer and Nvidia boss Jensen Huang. Darius McDermott, managing director at investment research agency FundCalibre said:'It's a telling contrast: the Prime Minister courts Nvidia's Jensen Huang just as another UK tech success story, Alphawave, is set to be acquired by an American buyer. 'Our view is the government must prioritise policies that support domestic UK capital markets – not kill them. They are critical for a well-functioning economy and society. For too long, the government has neglected, overregulated and taxed them, driving liquidity and investment out of the UK.' Alphawave, which is advised by Goldman Sachs and BMO, originally confirmed it was in talks about a sale as long ago as 1 April. But it has repeatedly pushed back the so called 'put up or shut up' deadline. Under the terms of the now agreed acquisition Alphawave shareholders will receive $2.48 in cash for each share, equivalent to 183 p. It represents a 96% premium to the share price before the start of takeover speculation. Alphawave shareholders have an option to receive the cash in sterling or in new Qualcomm shares at a rate of 0.01662 Qualcomm shares for each Alphawave share held. There is also a further alternative of 0.00964 of a New Series A Qualcomm Exchangeable Security and 0.00698 of a New Series B Qualcomm Exchangeable Security for each Alphawave share. Tony Pialis, President and chief executive officer of Alphawave, said:"Qualcomm's acquisition of Alphawave represents a significant milestone for us and an opportunity for our business to join forces with a respected industry leader and drive value to our customers. 'By combining our resources and expertise, we will be well-positioned to expand our product offerings, reach a broader customer base, and enhance our technological capabilities. Together, we will unlock new opportunities for growth, drive innovation, and create a leading player in AI compute and connectivity solutions. For our shareholders, the Alphawave Board is pleased that Qualcomm's offer provides an opportunity to realise compelling value for their shares." Cristiano Amon, President and chief executive officer of Qualcomm, said:"Under Tony's leadership Alphawave has developed leading high-speed wired connectivity and compute technologies that are complementary to our power-efficient CPU and NPU cores. Qualcomm's advanced custom processors are a natural fit for data centre workloads. 'The combined teams share the goal of building advanced technology solutions and enabling next-level connected computing performance across a wide array of high growth areas, including data centre infrastructure."
