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.
He really likes it at these valuations. It got on a bit of a tare recently. It is well diversified. Auto sales are slowing but they are diversifying their business into areas of the future. It is difficult to find a problem with its valuation. The recent sell off is due to aluminum tariffs. If your outlook is longer than 6 months you should do well.
