Cheap, at 8-10x earnings. Good company, balance sheet, business, management. But auto market is suspect, because of current sales slump and electric vehicles. Magna has worked through issues in the past, and it will again.

He likes it. There's a big shift in e-cars, though, and they are impacted by the coronavirus. Magna will survive in both cases, because management is smart, though they may struggle to adjust to supplying e-cars for a while. It's okay to hold.

He owns Linamar instead. Both are suffering from perception with EPS plunging--car sales have peaked and there are fears that ride sharing will dominate more. Will people keep buying new cars? If so, these companies will do well. But both are great companies that should grow market share by acquisition and diversifying their businesses.

LNR vs MG vs MRE? The auto parts sector has had headwinds. He would stick with MG-T as they pay the highest dividend. He would have thought LNR-T would have been more defensive, but an acquistion in the agricultural space has proved to be a failed attempt to diversify. All three look very cheap. He does own MG-T.

They're buying back lots of shares and the stock price still good. Balance sheet good and they beat last quarter. But there's no EPS growth. We've seen Peak Auto. Magna is cyclical. Maybe don't sell it, but can hold it for 20 years. Not excited to enter it now, though.

We are living in a strange world where Tesla has a higher market cap than GM. There has been a stall in new car sales globally, especially in China where sales declined. He thinks all the parts manufacturers will suffer to a degree. Magna will be a survivor and will make the transition into electric cars going forward. He would not hesitate to own it for the long term. He does not own it presently.

Generates good free cash flow. Diversified. A solid, long-term investment. Car sales are under pressure in Europe and China (holding on so far in North America). Also, e-cars are gaining traction, and the car companies must adjust. Magna and Linamar should do well adapting to changes. There's little upside in the car industry in the short term; this space will remain volatile.

Despite fears of recession and slow down, we have seen a nice turnaround over the last 8 weeks in autos. MG-T has little exposure to China trade issues. It pays a nice dividend and has a free cash flow yield of 13%. He expects an acceleration in manufacturing is coming and there is strong consumer spending. Yield 2.6%

It is an incredibly well run company. They make reasonable profits. Their customers are very happy with them. It is a well diversified company and they make great returns on their capital. They generate a lot of free cash flow. They are very disciplined on that. The risk is that they have no control over the auto cycle. Their margins can get quite compressed. MG-T feels they will have a higher content on electric cars than internal combustion cars.

Well run with good management. A cyclical business, where car sales are flattening globally. Statistically cheap right now. There may be a 6 month trade in this. A further slowing in the economy, would not hurt this stock materially. He would look for only $3-$4 per share upside before taking profit.

He sold it a year ago with concerns about the economy slowing and the auto cycle peaking. Also, Magna has a dispute with an Asian joint-venture deal. And the steel tariffs didn't help. They produce things cheaply in Mexico, but sell few products down there, which is a negative, vulnerable to protectionism.

They just reported results. They had to trim their guidance. They will probably not do wrong by their shareholders. They buy 5% of their shares back annually. Their payout ratio is only about 20%. They know what they are doing. 7 or 8 times forward earnings. You have to have a long term outlook.

Among Canadian car-parts-makers, they have the most exposure to Daimler, which just issued a weak earnings report. This sector appear to have bottomed, so maybe consider it now. He prefers Linamar, which is cheaper (offers a lower valuation) and it is not purely into cars, but also some industrial production.

As the cycle ends. The market pays for growth and Magna had a weak Q1 and lowered guidance. M&A hasn't worked out as planned. No doubt that car sales have slowed. They're in a very cyclical business and we could be at the end of the cycle. Managers are good capital allocators and will fix their China problem. Emerging markets continue to grow and will feed demand for cars, even near the end of the peak.

It broke through the down trend back in early 2019 and had been making some motions to see a reversal. However, the recent new lows below $60 may be signalling a resumption of the longer term bear trend. Key support near $60. He would be out if that level is breached. A rally with 10-15% upside is possible.
