Magna International Inc. (USA) (MGA): Can Earnings Drive It Higher?

Still, another bright spot internationally for Magna International Inc. (USA) (NYSE:MGA) has come from China, which has helped the company triple its revenue from its “rest of world” segment since 2009. Given the success that General Motors Company (NYSE:GM) in particular has had in China, Magna’s ability to piggyback onto the automaker’s sales bodes well for its future prospects.

In Magna International Inc. (USA) (NYSE:MGA)’s quarterly report, be sure to compare the financial results the company releases with those from Johnson Controls, Inc. (NYSE:JCI)’ quarterly report late last month. With Magna fetching a much more reasonable valuation than Johnson Controls, Magna might eventually start getting looked at as a takeover candidate if the industry’s prospects keep improving.
