Magna International Bucks Global Auto Trend with Stronger Margin Story
Dow Jones07-31
9:21 ET -- Magna International is improving its margins even while the world produces fewer vehicles. TD Cowen's Brian Morrison says in a report 2Q results "reinforce Magna's margin improvement story with adjusted EBIT margin expanding y/y to 6.2% despite lower y/y global light vehicle production." At the same time, sales increased 3% to $10.98 billion, on "anticipated benefit of FX y/y and new program launches, partially offset by lower global production y/y." This bodes well for the company. Morrison says that along with strong free cash flow, he sees upside potential to consensus and the applied multiple."
