Stock price when the opinion was issued
It won't pull back much from here. Given tariffs, this space is uncertain, but eventually we will settle this tariff war. Auto manufacturing is so emeshed between both countries that it would take a very long time to rejig it. This or Linamar are fine, but Magna pays a higher PE, though trades at a higher price-to-book. Your horizon must be long to own this, like 3-4 years.
Very hesitant. Recent recovery has been sharp and quick, almost as though it's factoring in abolition of tariffs completely. We need more clarity on tariffs. Auto industry is highly cyclical and depends on health of the economy, and we're seeing signs of weakening.
If you own it, don't need the cash, and have a 5-10 year time horizon, you should be fine. But there could be further weakness from here.
Auto cycle continues to be in a recovery phase. This one is extremely well-positioned to take advantage of that. US consumer has a little bit more disposable income now. With more stability in the European economies, car companies, and the parts makers will continue to do well. Another 10%-15% drop and he will be seriously looking at this.
