Magna cuts annual profit forecast on expectations of lower vehicle production
Nov 1 (Reuters) -Canadian auto parts supplier Magna International MG.TO cut its annual sales and profit forecasts on Friday against the backdrop of the automobile industry grappling with weak demand.
Magna had benefited from a healthy flow of orders, with automakers ramping up production over the years, however, that pace has slowed as companies readjust their inventory levels to match demand.
The company supplies parts and builds vehicles at its manufacturing unit for various automakers including BMW BMWG.DE, Mazda 7261.T and Ferrari RACE.MI.
Last month, auto industry consultants J.D. Power and GlobalData cut their expectations for 2024 global light-vehicle sales by 500,000 units to 88 million units.
Auto parts supplier Aptiv APTV.N said on Thursday it took extra steps to boost profitability, after it cut its annual sales forecast. Peer BorgWarner also cut its annual sales expectations.
Magna now expects annual total sales between $42.2 billion and $43.2 billion, compared with its prior forecast range of $42.5 billion to $44.1 billion.
It forecast full-year adjusted profit of $1.45 billion to $1.55 billion, down from its previous expectation of $1.5 billion to $1.7 billion.
On an adjusted basis, Magna earned $1.28 per share in the third quarter, missing the average analyst estimate of $1.40, according to data compiled by LSEG.
The company reported sales of $10.28 billion, below expectations of $10.35 billion.
