Martinrea, a company within the struggling auto sector, faces significant challenges primarily stemming from the risk of U.S. tariffs and a high level of debt, raising concerns about future growth prospects. Despite being perceived as cheap based on valuation metrics such as a low PE ratio and operating cash flow, analysts caution that it may still have room to decline further due to ongoing market pressures. Some experts see potential in its product offerings, which can cater to both traditional and electric vehicles, highlighting potential advantages in a slowly transitioning market. Insider buying and improving margins are viewed positively; however, the consensus remains that the overall environment for auto parts manufacturers is highly competitive and capital-intensive, making it a risky investment.
Everything that could go wrong, has. Potential tariffs of 25%. Concerns about capex needed for EVs. Now trading at 3x operating cashflow, 7-8 forward PE. Doing the right things, great backlog, European exposure. Still likes the story, sticking with it.
The car sector has disappointed, is floundering. He sold some car stocks, but held onto MRE because it's cheap. Is lots of insider buying and margins are improving. Are almost immune from the EV transition because the components they made can be used in gas as well as electric cars. 8-9x forward PE and a good balance sheet.
A cyclical player, but that happens in the auto industry. He's added to this recently. Still cheap. Autos have issues: inventories are climbing and EVs haven't take off as expected. MRE can supply both EVs and traditional cars, and there's been insider buying. Trades at 3x operating cash flow and 8x forward PE.
True, there are headwinds in autos, but this trades at 3-4x operating cash flow and 8-9x forward PE. Also, they're huge in areas like aluminum parts. Are well-positioned in gas-engine cars and EVs; there's 80% crossover shared between both kinds of cars.
(Analysts’ price target is $19.34)
Our PAST TOP PICK with MRE has triggered its stop at $12. To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time. This will result in a net investment loss of 11%, when combined with previous recommendations.
Following reported earnings indicating revenues increasing 22% over the year, we reiterate MRE as a TOP PICK. Supply chain and semi-conductor supply issues are lessening for the automotive supplier. It trades at 6x earnings and under book value. We like that cash reserves are growing, while debt is retired. We recommend trailing up the stop (from $11) to $12, looking to achieve $19 -- upside potential over 30%. Yield 1.4%
(Analysts’ price target is $19.22)Is really cheap at 8s forward PE and 3x operating cash flow. They delivered this year. Their operating margins are rising. He took some shares off the table at $15, worried about consumer spending and growth. Union impact? Doesn't know about direct impact by unions, but watch for impact of unions on the bigger players, like Ford.
We again reiterate MRE as a TOP PICK. The auto industry supplier last reported record all-time sales and growing cash reserves as it retired debt. It trades at 7x earnings and under book value. Its dividend is backed by a payout ratio under 15% of cash flow. We continue to recommend a stop-loss at $11, looking to achieve $19 -- upside potential of 40%. Yield 1.4%
(Analysts’ price target is $19.38)We reiterate this diversified supplier of automotive motor blocks and transmissions as a TOP PICK.

Auto stocks are really struggling, both Canada and US, and they're right at the epicentre of this whole tariff battle. Beware the value trap -- something's gone down, looks cheap, but hasn't started going up yet. Chart doesn't look as though it's bottomed out yet.
Though cheap, it could still go lower. Whole sector might take time to build a base, as it's been beaten down so much. The auto sector really brought down the most recent Canadian retail sales numbers.
