Martinrea (MRE-T) is facing significant challenges, primarily due to ongoing risks associated with US tariffs and a struggling automotive sector. Analysts have expressed concerns about the company's high debt levels and declining growth, particularly as the sector grapples with persistent overstock issues and the slow adoption of electric vehicles (EVs). Despite these headwinds, some experts see potential value, noting the stock's low price-to-earnings ratio and its ability to supply components for both traditional and electric vehicles. There are indications of insider buying and improving margins, which could suggest a long-term opportunity. However, the market sentiment is cautious, and many experts warn that the stock might continue to face downward pressure until the automotive sector stabilizes.

WAIT

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.

DON'T BUY

They face the US tariff risk. The PE looks cheap, but look at the balance sheet. Lots of debt. Growth is declining.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 27/23, Down 17%)

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. 

PAST TOP PICK
(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

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

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.

Unspecified

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

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

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

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
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%   

(Analysts’ price target is $19.22)
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.
