Magna International is one of the largest auto parts makers in the world. It builds a huge range of components — including car seats, mirrors, door panels, body structures, and electric vehicle systems — and sells them to major automakers like Ford, General Motors, BMW, and Stellantis. Magna does not sell cars directly to consumers; it works behind the scenes supplying the parts that go inside vehicles.

Magna earns money by manufacturing and delivering parts under long-term supply contracts with automakers, so its revenue rises and falls with global vehicle production volumes. The company operates over 340 factories across more than 28 countries, with major exposure to North America and Europe, generating roughly $43 billion in annual revenue. Its scale and deep engineering relationships with automakers create some switching costs, but thin margins — typical for auto suppliers — leave little room for error. The biggest risk is that slower EV adoption and weaker consumer vehicle demand could pressure volumes and profitability in the near term.
