What it does
Magna International is an automotive supplier that designs, engineers and manufactures vehicle components across four segments: body exteriors and structures, power and vision, seating systems, and complete vehicles. It builds body-in-white structures, battery enclosures for electric vehicles, ADAS cameras and sensors, seating and powertrain parts, and also assembles finished vehicles for other automakers. It supplies car makers across North America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific from its base in Aurora, Canada.
Where it sits in the stack
Magna holds no seat in Closelook's index; it sits in the Consumer Cyclical sector, Auto Parts industry, within the auto-supplier sleeve of our universe, supplying structures, seating and ADAS hardware to vehicle makers rather than to any chip or data-centre layer.
Who it is priced against
The diary groups it with scored Consumer Cyclical names based in the US for comparison, including Autoliv, SharkNinja, Deckers Outdoor, Lululemon Athletica, Maplebear, Brinker International, Murphy USA and Viking Holdings; the market also names Aptiv as a comparable auto-parts supplier.

What the diary watches
