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.
She doesn’t own any auto parts companies and sees the recent price declines as a direct reflection of the NAFTA uncertainty. If she was going to buy in this sector, she would look first at Magna, which is diversifying into the EU. She will wait until after there is clarity about NAFTA, even though that clarity will cause prices to rise (if the news is good) before she buys the stock.
