Visteon (VSTNQ) up 375% Friday

Visteon (VSTNQ) at 0.34 is one of the world's largest suppliers of automotive parts. Visteon is to the Ford Motor Company as Delphi is to General Motors and Denso is to Toyota.

Visteon, spun off from Ford Motor Co (F.N) in 2000, filed for bankruptcy protection in June, one of the casualties of the global auto industry crisis that forced General Motors Co and Chrysler to restructure in bankruptcy. Visteon listed total assets of $4.58bn and total debts of $5.32bn.

VSTNQ, the maker of automotive climate systems, interiors and electronics is now benefiting from cost cuts made during bankruptcy restructuring and fast sales recovery at its top two automaker customers: Ford and Hyundai Motor Co.

-DETROIT, Feb 26 (Reuters) - Bankrupt U.S. auto parts maker Visteon Corp (VSTNQ) reported a fourth-quarter profit on Friday, reaping the benefits of cost reductions as global vehicle production volumes recovered.
