Magna International tops estimates with $814M adjusted profit

Magna International (NYSE:MGA) reported fourth-quarter results that exceeded Wall Street estimates on an adjusted basis, as the automotive giant offset a cooling global vehicle market with disciplined operational execution and a pivot toward high-growth mobility programs.

The company posted fourth-quarter sales of $10.8 billion, a 2% increase year-over-year, despite a decline in global light vehicle production.

Adjusted EBIT surged to $814 million, with margins expanding to 7.5%.

While the firm reported a nominal net loss of $1 million due to non-cash impairment charges, adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS) rose to $2.18, significantly ahead of analyst expectations.

For the full year 2025, Magna generated $42 billion in sales and $1.9 billion in free cash flow, underscoring its ability to maintain liquidity in a capital-intensive industry.

Looking ahead, Magna initiated its 2026 financial guidance with a focus on sustained top-line performance.

The company expects total sales in the range of $41.9 billion to $43.5 billion and an adjusted EBIT margin between 6% and 6.6%.
