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.
Seasonality for this and the auto industry in general is from around the end of February right through until May of each year. The key is to watch for the possibility of the seasonality characteristics coming into the stock sometime around the end of this month. Technically, it is not so good right now. It’s in a downward trend and is underperforming the market. Short-term momentum indicators are still on the downside. Around the end of this month, if the technicals start to show signs of bottoming, that will be the opportunity to Buy.
