Valeo, a struggling French auto-parts manufacturer trading at attractive valuations (sub-10x EV/FCF, 7-8x forward PE), is pivoting to AI-adjacent business through data-center cooling technology with a €225M contract, creating a potential short squeeze given heavy institutional short positioning (15%+ of shares sold). Key risks include the company's declining historical revenues, heavy reliance on this single new contract, and uncertain execution on AI pivot.
