Magna International (MG-T) has experienced a complex trajectory since significantly investing in electric vehicles (EVs) in 2021, facing challenges such as lower-than-expected demand and the impact of tariffs. However, the company has managed to address these issues, particularly with Chinese original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), leading to a recovery in market share for products like smart door handles and driverless systems. Recent reporting indicates that Magna has performed exceptionally well in its latest quarter, exceeding consensus expectations despite ongoing headwinds from CUSMA and the cyclical nature of the auto industry. While some experts express caution regarding the potential for further weakness and the cyclical economic environment, there is a prevailing sentiment that long-term investors could benefit if they can withstand short-term fluctuations. Overall, with signs of a recovering auto sector and improving conditions, Magna International presents a compelling case for investment, albeit with some reservations about future challenges.

WAIT
Facing headwinds. Lower production in Europe, rising oil prices, higher commodity costs, inflation, supply chain disruption that's not ending. Bull case is it's cheap and growth will pick up. Don't buy right now, but likes it longer term. Same comments for all auto stocks.
BUY
An excellent company well-placed for EVs. He has owned this in the past. This is not a bad pick in this industry.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Mar 11/21, Down 29%) Great company in the auto parts and auto assembly space. They stopped out at $93 in June. There are supply chain problems in the auto industry and higher oi prices will also put pressure on this sector.
BUY ON WEAKNESS

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. The company is cheap based on metrics. Solid balance sheet, and it is well run. Could buy here. The chip shortage won’t last forever. They are well positioned for the move towards EVs. Looks fine to enter for longer term investors. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Mar 11/21, Down 9%) He got stopped out. Auto stocks have been consolidating on supply chain issues. If it can break $85 and get back above the 200-day MA, he'd be a buyer. It's inexpensive compared to peers. Rising relative to the market.
WAIT
Unsure of the auto cycle right now. There was a boom in sales post-pandemic, and a lot of demand has now been satisfied. Good line to EV transition. We're getting late in the cycle, and economic slowdown may impact demand. Stock's done well, so it needs to be in pain before he'd step in.
BUY

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. The company reported an EPS of $4.20 In 2020 and is expected to rise to $4.70 in 2021. Analysts expect $6.62 for 2022. The stock is quite attractive today based on a PEG of 0.4. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

BUY
Problems in last year. Supply chain, reduced guidance on bottom line, impacted margins. Good news is it's managing quite well, problems will slowly dissipate, better earnings, higher volumes. Compelling.
WAIT
Hard to predict when bottlenecks will resolve. Everyone's pointing fingers. If he had to guess, earlier in 2022. Right now, it's still a mess. MG hasn't been performing well. He'd hold off. We're in the seasonally strong period until February, and we might actually skip that this year. Wait to see more progress.
COMMENT
Magna is a more conservative version of Linamar. Both are very good companies so it depends on what of type of investor you are.
DON'T BUY
MG vs. MRE vs. LNR A bit of a dilemma. All being hit by supply shortages. Earnings ticking down, so PE's are at the higher range. In terms of ROE, MG would be the most profitable. MRE's is quite a bit less, though the multiple is also less. MRE is 0.8 price to book, PE of 9.8. His choice is LNR: it's in the middle of the pack, price to book is just over 1, PE is 10, and ROE tends to be more over time.
DON'T BUY
They've done a good job with the dividend, but it's highly cyclical. He can't square their supply chain issues with the a huge surge to buy cars; historically a surge is followed by soft car demand for the next 3-4 years which he sees this happening. Can Magna navigate that drop? Buy this when the sector bottoms, but we're not there yet.
BUY

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. The company has numerous EV partnerships with various makers and is a supplier to car makers. It also has more revenues from outside of North America than in North America. 5i is comfortable with buying today at these levels. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

BUY
MG vs. MRE One of the top two companies in the world. Lots of technology in the car. MRE is smaller, hit hard by pandemic. MRE is working on a new technology, but it's at early stages and expensive. MRE needs to show some of its problems are behind it. Go with MG.

TOP PICK

Going down the food chain, among the auto parts companies, Magna remains best in class. However, pesky supply issues will reduce their financial outlook. On Oct. 20, the company lowered total 2021 sales from US$38 to $39.5 billion (as projected last August) to US$35.4 to $36.4 billion, with EBIT to be 5.1% to 5.4% from August's 7% to 7.4%. We'll get a better picture when Magna reports on Nov. 5. It's a solid company, but will be stuck in neutral until the supple bottleneck is flushed. If you already own shares, hang on, while others may want to wait or take a partial position and see what happens.
