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.

The growth perspective is good because they are diversified, selling to all the major manufacturers, and they made great bets on the electrification hybrids and they’ve spent money on the driverless cars. (Analysts' price target is $78.43).
This is a global business. It has lots of business in Europe. It’s the largest, independent, complete vehicle assembler. They are putting whole cars together. They're going to grow the business 25% a year over the next 3 years. It is growing at a faster growth rate than the industry by about 25%, but trading at a discounted earnings multiple to the industry, so it's cheaper, but growing faster.
