Investment Q&A

Q: Hello,

For 5 yr+ hold would you consider HPS total return would exceed MG total return?

Thank you

Q: Could you provide your opinion of Magna vs Linamar?
Historically MG seemed in the lead and had a better dividend. Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine - their investments in Russia were blamed for non-performance.
Also, since then LNR seems to be doing substantially better signifying the sector is doing ok.

Has MG lost its MOJO, had its day and becoming a value trap? (all cash flow going towards dividends, taking on debt and eroding stock price).
Thank you

Q: At what point does magna become too cheap to ignore?
Down almost 30 percent from its high. .

Q: I am looking to add BKNG to my Consumer Cyclicals. Currently I have a ATZ, LULU, MG, LNF, DOO, and CROX.

Long term growth investor.

Would you suggest trimming across the board or are there any names you would swap if one wanted to high grade their portfolio.

Q: Currently down just over 30% on Magna in my TFSA.Mortgage due for renewal in July 2026.Was planning to pay mortgage off with magna and would need close to my book value of 94.50. Would you consider Magna a hold or advise on a better alternative? Much appreciate your input.Thanks Larry

Q: Long time holder of these and under water.
Is it time to move on or would you add

Q: Will Japanese component maker Asahi Kasei is set to announce the construction of a new battery-related plant near Niagara today likely to impact Magna negatively ?

Q: Hello,
Would you add to MG at these level? As a long term hold, do you consider the stock relatively safe? Thank you.

Q: Some maintenance of my portfolio is long-overdue. I have been sitting on PBH, VEEV, and VZ which are all down about 30%. WELL is down about 50%, MG about 40%. Should I keep holding, or take the loss and pivot to something else? These are the worst performers, overall the entire portfolio is up 20% this year. Many thanks for your assistance.

Q: Which companies could benefit from the new Honda announcement?
Thanks Steve

Q: We have a well-diversified Canadian portfolio (~30 holdings) focused slightly toward growth that is overweight in the Consumer Cyclical sector. Our current holdings, in approximately equal weights, are DOO, LNF, MG, BYD, PLC, ATZ. We are considering either reducing our holdings by one or a group trimming. Which would you prefer and why? For long term holds, how would you rate (1-10) these 6?

Q: Please rank in terms of growth and risk over the next 1-3 years

Q: Do you think now would be a good time to start a position in magna?

Q: I have held Magna for multiple years, and with the execption of a surge in value three years ago (which it eventually surrendered), it is at pretty much my original purchase price. I have been considering a switch to Amazon, as I cannot think of a more dominant player in the consumer cyclical space. I had also considered starting a position in Aritzia, but I am not as confident in its profile as I am with Amazon. The position of this investment is 4% of portfolio, if the exposure level has any influence at all on the analysis. One potential tailwind for Magna could be manufacture of parts for battery electric vehicles, which should increase in demand over the next five years: my understanding is that MG provides many such parts to multiple companies that make these particular automobiles.

Would a switch from MG to AMZN be prudent, or is there a stronger case to be made for staying put? As always, thanks so much for your insights, and I look forward to your response.

Q: Which stock is cheaper on a valuation basis and would produce better growt over medium term. Would you suggest selling ford to buy magna.
Thanks

Q: How much will the Fisker troubles affect MG?

Q: Wanting to sell one of these to deploy cash to deploy elsewhere. Which of these two has the best pathway forward for a 2 to 3 year hold and which might you recommend to sell and why? Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i
How do you view mg earnings today and the risk going forward, shares down on earnings today...lnr down also ..... currently small position in mg with 2 year horizon...would you buy/add at these prices...

Thx

Q: Thoughts on the quarter [lease?

Thx

Q: Hi 5i, seems MG is pushing out some of their bets on EV and Autonomous trends, Do you still believe in their growth over the next 2 years after this quarter? I know they raised their divi, but I fear this stock may become a value trap. Also, please provide a few alternatives, no small caps please, either CAD or USD. Thx.
