Magna International (MG-T) has had a tumultuous journey, with heavy investments in electric vehicles (EVs) in 2021 not yielding the expected demand, resulting in significant challenges and the impact of tariffs. However, the company has managed to address its issues with Chinese OEMs and is currently experiencing a notable market share increase in smart door handles and driverless systems. Recent financial results have surprised analysts positively, indicating a strong recovery, although concerns over the continuity of this momentum exist due to potential headwinds from the CUSMA agreement. The auto supply chain’s complexities suggest that investors should assess the cyclical nature of the industry carefully while considering ownership of the stock, especially as it could face further volatility tied to economic conditions and tariff discussions.
Has done well over the last year, but continues to be compellingly valued. One of the great Canadian multinationals and he finds it shocking that it is still trading at a single digit PE multiple. Great balance sheet. Superbly positioned and they understand their industry very, very well. Superb corporate culture of zero to very low debt leverage, which allows them to profit when other companies are in trouble. Expected to go significantly higher in the next couple of years.
This has grown into his largest position. He would love to have a better entry point and is not sure he would chase it at this point. Auto-parts are actually growth companies.
