Upturn Advisory & Investor View for MGA

11/06/2026: MGA (3-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Magna International Inc is a prominent global automotive supplier, distinguished by its unique ability to offer both specific components and complete vehicle assembly services. The company is currently leveraging its manufacturing expertise to capitalize on the industry's shift toward electrification and advanced driver-assistance systems. While its diversified product portfolio and strong OEM relationships are key strengths, Magna faces risks from cyclical vehicle demand, high capital investment requirements, and intensifying competition from software-focused suppliers. Investors may find Magna suitable for its balanced risk-reward profile, including stable dividend returns, though developments in electrification margins and software integration remain critical factors to monitor for future performance.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
MGA receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid company fundamentals, and solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by soft unit economics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
MGA has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and strong ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid cash generation (FCF margin 5.3%) is partially offset by negative earnings growth (-16.4%), slightly negative revenue growth (-0.2%), soft profitability (net margin 2.0%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
MGA's financial health is supported by strong cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation of $2.3B (5.3% of revenue). Profitability is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is MGA's strongest growth driver at +56.9% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, while revenue growth (-0.2%, slightly negative) and earnings growth (-16.4%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 77.1% and approximately 99.8% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 5.63% supports management-shareholder alignment.

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
MGA generates approximately $103 of gross profit, $50 of operating income, and $53 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Weak margins explain the 2-star rating, with solid cash conversion and soft capital efficiency.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 32.49%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
MGA has a large-cap, liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while elevated volatility.
