Magna International plans to launch a share-repurchase program to buy back up to 10% of its issued and outstanding common shares over the course of a year.
The Canadian auto-parts maker said Wednesday that the Toronto Stock Exchange has approved its normal course issuer bid to buy back up to 25.3 million shares for cancellation.
Magna has faced a turbulent 2025, navigating U.S. tariffs, global auto production slowdowns, supply chain disruptions, and inflationary pressures. Despite the headwinds, the company recently lifted its sales forecast on the back of a stronger production outlook in North America and China, a bullish signal for the global auto sector.
Shares have risen over the course of the year, up 15% since the start of 2025 to close on Tuesday at 69.01 Canadian dollars ($48.93).
At Tuesday's price, the value of the shares intended for buyback would be worth about C$1.75 billion.
Magna can begin buying back shares starting on Nov. 7.
