Advice on valuing industrials/autos stocks

Hi guys,

I'm new to this forum, and this is my first post after spending the better part of 3 years quietly stalking everyone else here. I'm extremely sorry if this has been asked elsewhere - if it has then you're welcome to poke fun and redirect me - I couldn't find anything similar to this query though, so please accept my apologies!

I have 3Y investing experience covering financials stocks, my new role though is to cover industrials/autos in particular.

My q is this:** is there a comprehensive guide anywhere online that explains the fundamentals of specifically modelling and valuing industrials/autos? **Banks are a specialist little niche, so when I was starting off 3 years ago I remember reading a number of books that specifically talked you through the KPIs/valuation drivers of banks stocks. I have been unsuccessful in finding any such thing for industrials/autos in particular.

Any guidance you can give would be much, much appreciated.

Thank you!
