Magna International (MG-T) has faced challenges since its heavy investment in electric vehicles in 2021, largely due to unmet demand and the negative effects of tariffs. However, the company has taken significant steps to address these issues, especially in its partnerships with Chinese OEMs, leading to a recovery in market share within innovative fields like smart door handles and driverless technology. Recently, the company reported a strong quarterly performance that exceeded market expectations, highlighting its resilience amid headwinds from CUSMA and ongoing complexities in auto supply chains. The automotive sector, which has been under pressure from tariffs, is showing renewed vigor as investors begin to return, signaling a potential recovery for stocks in this space.

DON'T BUY
It's late in the cycle for Magna, though it's done very well. They are vulnerable to an auto war/tariffs, and it faces Tesla and other tech competitors that are coming.
DON'T BUY
Owned this for years, but sold it last October because its valuation got too high. Magna also had problems with a join venture in China, which is difficult to resolve. Add to that the auto cycle is plateauing.
BUY
He recommended this in December and likes it here. $75 will be an important resistance test. He likes this chart and the auto space. His target is $77-80 to May/June when you could take some profits.
DON'T BUY
In a trading zone. A dividend grower. He would not be a buyer right now as it is lacking any trending action. It needs to move above $73 until he would be interested.
DON'T BUY
A good company with big cash reserves and fine performance, but there's a lot of negativity in auto parts now. He doubts the stock will rise in the near future, but historically, they survive these down trends and do things like share buybacks. MG could be on his radar down the line.
DON'T BUY
He keeps watching it. Great balance sheet. They've been growing their dividend this cycle, but auto sales have rolled over. Magna is still making good money, but trading at 7-8x earnings because the market believes that the auto companies are rolling over; production and sales have rolled over. He's cautious about it. He may buy it 10-15% lower.
WEAK BUY
Head and shoulders chart and now at the head. Beware of the top, but beyond that he likes this chart.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 06/18, Up 1%) You get the diversification when you own this. They are well positioned to where future growth is coming from. He continues to own it. It is not expensive and you get a reasonable dividend.
DON'T BUY
It is cheap trading at 8 times forward earnings. Slowing global auto production levels could affect them. 53% of the sales come from the Detroit 3. We are late cycle. Not something he wants to own. Technically doesn't look good. Deep cyclical company.
DON'T BUY
It is showing good value today, but he worries that the auto cycle is coming to an end. He thinks there will be better buying opportunities in the next few years. The turnaround has been impressive, but the timing is not right.
BUY
You need to own Magna or Linamar, cheap names. Yes, they're cyclical and there's talk of auto sales rolling over and e-cars, but he doesn't believe those fears. These companies continue to put up impressive numbers and are still growing 5% on the topline. They're well-run and diversified. He's not worried about this sector. Insiders are buying their own stocks. Linamar has a great CEO.
SELL
Sold it last fall because the auto cycle has peaked here and in Europe. They also have problems with a Chinese joint venture that could become thorny. Their margins were under pressure, partly due from the steel/aluminum tariffs. There's more risk than reward here. He's impressed by the stock, but it's time to lighten up on this.
COMMENT
Will this benefit when trade issues are resolved? Yes, but Magna is so diversified and large that e-cars will have a greater impact. Auto sales have been in a lull. PE's are low. Pays a good dividend and stock buyback program.
BUY
It's not the most gentle chart with an uptrend-downtrend-base pattern. We're probably now breaking out of a base now around $70. If it breaks upwards here it's very bullish.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 18/18, Down 6%) Nothing has really shaken his conviction on it. Price momentum has been the knock on it recently. It is really cheap and a best in class auto parts company. 23% return on equity. They have a solid balance sheet. They are right as an activist target. He likes it. It is a solid holding.
