Experts are generally optimistic about Linamar Corp (LNR-T), highlighting its solid operational capabilities and the potential for resilience against tariffs, particularly if CUSMA remains unchanged. Notably, some analysts mention that the company's valuation, while improved, remains phenomenally cheap at around 3x EV/EBITDA. There is a consensus that, despite concerns regarding the Canadian manufacturing sector amidst geopolitical changes, Linamar showcases strong fundamentals, including robust earnings and innovative technology in auto parts and mobility. While some experts express caution due to the stock’s rising price and valuation metrics, they acknowledge its status as a core holding for investors looking for growth amidst market uncertainties. Overall, the sentiment reflects a mixture of confidence in the company’s business model and a watchful stance regarding valuation corrections.
Stock looks great, and wanting to take out the highs of 2021. Bottomed before the market did last October, which is really positive. Higher highs, higher lows. Let the stock run. If it can take out $80, the next level is $100. Hold, even though the toughest thing to do is nothing.
LNR has a good balance sheet, but it does have about $500M net debt, which is about 1X cash flow. We like the company and the low valuation of 7X earnings, and like management. 2023 growth is expected to be above 30%, and 2024 in the 15% range, based on current estimates. We think there is upside here over five years, but in a cyclical industry a double may be pushing expectations a bit.

No debt. Massive growth potential. Double-digit revenue and earnings growth. Growing 15-20% over the next few years. Lots of orders for electric and hybrid vehicles. Dirt cheap. Auto parts are early-cycle winners. So once a recession is "declared", look for these stocks to take off. Yield is 1.38%.
(Analysts’ price target is $87.80)
