Martinrea International Inc. (MRE-T) is a diversified supplier of automotive motor blocks and transmissions that has had ups and downs, but closed the year flat. There are headwinds in the auto industry, but the company is well-positioned in gas-engine cars and EVs, with 80% crossover shared between both. The stock is inexpensive and trades at 6-8x earnings, with growing cash reserves and retired debt. Some experts recommend a small position while others see upside potential of 30-40% with a stop-loss at $11. Overall, the stock appears to be attractive for the long term despite some uncertainties in the economy.

(A Top Pick Nov 07/23, Down 8%)

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.

DON'T BUY
Martinrea

Auto parts is a terrible business. It demands heavy capital and constantly needs investment in production facilities. Also, it's highly competitive. The PE looks cheap, but it's capital heavy. Avoid.

BUY
Martinrea

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.

It is very cheap. Many auto parts used in standard gas vehicles can also be used in EV's Also the migration to EV's will be slower than expected. The biggest risk is where auto sales are heading.

RISKY
Martinrea

Current dividend yield is industry average. Current price looks inexpensive, but is cheap for a reason. Would recommend a small position. Valuation is attractive.

WAIT
Martinrea

Ups and downs, but closed the year flat just like many other things. Flashing a yellow, if not red, light. Wait and see how this economy thing goes.

TOP PICK
Martinrea

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.

TOP PICK
Martinrea
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

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%

HOLD

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.

TOP PICK
Martinrea
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O’Reilly

This Canadian based auto and propulsion light parts manufacturer is firing on all cylinders — pardon the pun.  Recently reported earnings showed an all time record sales level - up 22% on the year.  Management reports restrictions in semi-conductor parts are starting to ease and most of their plants are operation at full capacity.  We like that cash reserves are growing as they retire debt.  We recommend setting a stop loss at $11.00, looking to achieve $18.50 — upside potential of 37%.  Yield 1.49%

BUY
Martinrea

He does think there's some benefit in parts/repair. These companies are better value and have more upside. Interest rates will be challenging for a bigger purchase like a car. People who buy cars also tend to have mortgages. That's why he favours parts companies over the auto makers.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
Martinrea

Good time to buy shares.
Car demand growing.
Current share price presenting good buying opportunity.
Cyclical business so not a good long term hold.
