Year-to-date, Magna International Inc (NYSE:MGA) stock lost 3.6% and on August 11th it had a closing price of $52.33. Here is what VLTAVA said:

“Some companies in our portfolio are meanwhile faring better than we expected. Specifically, that is the case for Magna, BMW, Samsung and Humana. Magna is showing itself to be more resistant to recession than we had counted upon. Its operating leverage is lower than in the last recession, its balance sheet is strong, and it very probably will boost its market share during this recession, whether organically or by acquisitions.”
