This summary was created by AI, based on 5 opinions in the last 12 months.

Magna International (MG-T) has faced challenges in the electric vehicle market due to initial overinvestment and subsequent demand issues. However, the company has made significant strides in addressing its past problems with Chinese OEMs and is now gaining market share in niche areas like smart door handles and driverless systems. Recent financial results have exceeded expectations, further bolstering confidence in the company's ability to navigate complex supply chains and tariff headwinds. Despite the positive short-term performance, there is cautious sentiment regarding the long-term outlook, as the auto industry remains cyclical and highly susceptible to economic fluctuations and tariff impacts. Investors should approach with careful consideration of the timeline and market conditions, particularly if holding for the long term.

BUY

In 2021, they invested heavily in EV, but the demand didn't materialize. Since then, they've suffered that overhang, plus the impact of tariffs. But they fixed these problems with Chinese OEMs and have gained market share in smart door handles and driverless systems. Are gaining market share. Doing a great job.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Today was a blowout quarter -- surprised consensus, stock's reacted. Headwinds from CUSMA. Auto supply chains aren't easily replaceable (no matter what the US president says). Great name to own here, and add on weakness.

WATCH

Cars have been a beaten-down sector from US tariffs, but with investors selling off tech, autos are now showing signs of life. The chart broke its downtrend during the tariff threats, so the market is looking past tariffs. Encouraging. The car sector looks intriguing.

DON'T BUY

Very hesitant. Recent recovery has been sharp and quick, almost as though it's factoring in abolition of tariffs completely. We need more clarity on tariffs. Auto industry is highly cyclical and depends on health of the economy, and we're seeing signs of weakening.

If you own it, don't need the cash, and have a 5-10 year time horizon, you should be fine. But there could be further weakness from here.

HOLD

Will be affected by tariffs. Cyclical business, with 5-6% operating margins over time. Eventually, the multiple will rerate. Owns now, but not sure he will 5 years from now once the cycle plays out.

WEAK BUY

It won't pull back much from here. Given tariffs, this space is uncertain, but eventually we will settle this tariff war. Auto manufacturing is so emeshed between both countries that it would take a very long time to rejig it. This or Linamar are fine, but Magna pays a higher PE, though trades at a higher price-to-book. Your horizon must be long to own this, like 3-4 years.

BUY

His preference in the space. Very well integrated into the major auto companies, as they can't live without Magna at all. Profitable, makes money every year. Buy it when things look awful.

WAIT

Not the right time. Big exposure to tariffs. Business is capital intensive and highly competitive. Not a compounder. News on tariffs is so volatile and unpredictable.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jul 05/24, Down 4%)

Most of the drop has to do with the tariff situation. Recent numbers were really good, great balance sheet, amazing footprint, global manufacturing powerhouse. Nice dividend.

COMMENT

Trades on the TSX, and has major global operations. But impacted so much by what happens with trade.

DON'T BUY

25% tariffs on auto parts would be terrible for this name, life-changing. Valuation very attractive. Always very profitable, great management. Capital intensive and low ROIC, so he doesn't like this type of business.

COMMENT

It has been lowering guidelines and the sector is not great with auto parts companies being impacted by tariffs. He likes Linamar better. It is cheaper and more diversified with an industrial side, and would be less impacted by tariffs.

DON'T BUY
Negative impact from US tariffs.

The names on this list are plenty. Start with the industrials, for instance. He's a big fan of BBD.B, but they make everything here in Canada.

An aerospace name like CAE, the rails, auto components like LNR and MG.

WATCH
Impact of US tariffs.

Don't yet know how things are going to shake out. Rhetoric is at an all-time high. Short term, it's impacting our economy because the US is our largest trading partner. Reality is that there's a lot of value-added auto manufacturing in both Canada and US; the 2 countries are inextricably linked. Tariffs will be punitive for both Canada and the US.

Hope is not an investment strategy, but we have to hope that rational heads can prevail so that there continues to be a steady flow of goods across our borders.

SELL
88-year old investor -- sell, and buy a bank instead?

Not an unreasonable time to sell, given the economic sensitivity of the name. Stock's come up a bit recently. Consider something like TD rather than BNS.
