Magna International Inc., a leading auto parts supplier based in Canada, has reported disappointing second-quarter results, missing analysts’ forecasts due to production halts and reduced vehicle assembly volumes. The news led to a 2% drop in the company’s shares.

The company’s struggles are linked to a series of setbacks, including the end of production for certain vehicle models and a reduction in automotive assembly volumes. Notably, the discontinuation of the BMW 5-Series and other programs has negatively impacted sales.

Magna’s complete vehicle manufacturing unit, which serves clients like BMW, Mazda, and Ferrari, has faced operational challenges. The company has also been dealing with layoffs, which began earlier this year. “Sales were negatively impacted by the end of production of certain programs, including the BMW 5-Series,” Magna stated in its report.

Looking ahead, Magna anticipates a significant revenue hit from INEOS Automotive’s decision to cancel its vehicle program, estimating a potential $700 million loss. In May, the company recorded $316 million in asset impairments and restructuring costs related to the troubled electric vehicle startup, Fisker.

The broader automotive industry has shifted focus from electric vehicles (EVs) to more traditional gas-powered models, impacting demand for automotive parts. Garrett Nelson, an analyst at CFRA, noted that Magna’s complete vehicle unit has been a drag on its margins. He pointed out that Fisker’s bankruptcy and other EV challenges have created significant headwinds for the supplier.

In contrast, rival Aptiv PLC exceeded Wall Street’s expectations for quarterly profit, though its revenue from electrical components fell by 3% due to reduced production by some clients.

Magna has revised its 2026 sales forecast downward, now projecting revenues between $44 billion and $46.5 billion, a decrease from the previous range of $48.8 billion to $51.2 billion.

For the second quarter ending in June, Magna reported adjusted earnings of $1.35 per share, falling short of the estimated $1.44. Quarterly revenue also slipped to $10.96 billion, missing the anticipated $11 billion.
