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.

HOLD
Hold or take profits?

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.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

With recently reported quarterly sales up 28% (to all time highs) and EPS up 83%, we reiterate LNR as a TOP PICK.  Global market share is growing as are cash reserves.  It trades at 10x earnings and under book value.  We recommend trailing up the stop (from $54) to $60, looking to achieve $87 -- upside potential over 20%.  Yield 1.2%

(Analysts’ price target is $87.80)
COMMENT
Medium/long-term view

Took profits last November. Likes their resilience and supply constraints after the Russian invasion. The company remains sound.

Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research.

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.

TOP PICK

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)
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 16/22, Up 34%)

It has had 28% revenue growth and more than 80% earnings per share growth. It raised guidance with the industrial component. The auto parts side is forecasting below average margins so there is an opportunity if it can improve these margins.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

Recently reported EPS was up 83% as quarterly sales made a new record.  Cash reserves grew, while the company bought back shares.  The company announced a major investment into EV parts manufacturing that will begin in 2025.  It trades at 10x earnings and below book value.  Its dividend is backed by a payout ratio under 15% of cash flow.  We recommend placing a stop-loss at $54, looking to achieve $86 --upside potential of 23%.  Yield 1.3%   

(Analysts’ price target is $86.00)
BUY

Better to be in auto suppliers than auto makers themselves. Auto makers are split between combustion and EV. In good shape, great Canadian business. CEO has done a great job. Good growth coming, especially on EV side.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jun 07/22, Up 14%)

Coming out of a period of bottlenecks. Really good exposure to high-margin products. Car market is still pretty strong. Growing backlog of new EV wins. Very cheap at 8 PE, which doesn't reflect upcoming growth. Big capex spend, but this provides years of tailwinds.

He took profits. At the time he was looking at the effect of the Russian invasion on supply lines. LNR had a good inventory control system. Very well-managed. He will buy this again when we pass these macro economic headwinds.
