Q: How safe do you think Magna’s dividend is?
Current earnings/cash flow seem to cover the dividend quite well, and buybacks could always be stopped/reduced if needed to maintain the dividend.
Even if it takes a few years for the auto industry to recover, Magna’s over 5% dividend yield at least pays us to be patient (assuming Magna can adapt to whatever the future of the auto industry looks like)?
