Magna Int'l. (A) (MG.TO)

He likes the company. They recently divested the company not so much because they don’t like the company but because they like the competitor Linamar Corp (LNR-T) better. He likes the stock as well now.

He's whethered some negative performance and is hanging on. They're well-positioned globally to make car parts but also assemble entire cars. Their business will grow as other names die off, because they can't adapt to changes. Magna has put plants in Europe. They can move production around now that NAFTA is resolved, though it will take a few quarters.

In light of Stronach suing his daughter, this is an interesting stock. Recently they reached 2 times book value – an extended valuation given how late we are in the business cycle. If the stock dropped another $6 it would be back to fair value.

When concern over NAFTA emerged, the Canadian economy could have been effected but not the stock market – except for auto manufacturers. As interest rates rise, the first thing to get hit seems to be auto sales in the US. He would consider buying on further weakness.

Don’t make a judgment based on last couple of days. It’s diversified, and extremely successful over the years. Has always been a bit expensive, but could be a buying opportunity here. One of best managed auto parts companies. (Analysts’ price target is $87.33.)

In light of the USMCA (NAFTA deal) deal today: Magna is a world-class company, but autos are late in the cycle.

Being held back by NAFTA concerns. Lowered their outlook, and stock pulled back more than it ought. Sees 11% EPS growth. Very cheap compared to peers. Can buy around $68. If NAFTA goes through, it’s good for a bit of a rally.

Once concerns over NAFTA are ironed out this stock should recover. If you own it, continue to hold.
