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.
The industry is slowing, and this company is aware of that. There was concern with Ford (F-N) today, but the PEs in the whole space are at a 20-year low. For this to make sense, he has to see EPS contract by 30%-40%, so they are cheap. 79% sales growth and 18% EPS over the next couple of years, and a very cheap multiple with a great balance sheet for accretive M&A, for buybacks or possible dividend growth. They are only about 1% exposed to the UK, but 27% Europe. Dividend yield of 2.63%.
