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.
Sold his holdings. Was getting a little concerned in the 4th quarter last year that auto sales had peaked and OEMs were going to be snapping back at some of the auto parts manufacturers to try to get some price concessions, and in a rising rate environment it could put a bit of pressure on auto sales. Some of those things have come to fruition, however the precipitous decline in these shares represents a good buying opportunity. He is looking to re-enter the stock. Great balance sheet and a very attractive valuation, trading at about 3.5X EBITDA, which is near the low end of the range.
