Magna International Inc. vs Rivian Automotive, Inc. / DE, two Auto Manufacturers stocks. A side-by-side on valuation, growth, margins, returns, and what each price is betting.
The margin comparison is a study in supplier stability against startup burn: Magna nets a thin but positive 1.97% supplying auto parts, Rivian a negative 72.8% building EVs from scratch. Magna earns 6.46% on equity, Rivian negative 90.8%; Magna carries 0.37 turns of debt, Rivian 1 turn and a negative 15.6% free-cash figure. Magna trades at 22 times earnings, Rivian at none, and Magna yields 12.5% in free cash with a 3% dividend against Rivian's cash burn. The pair prices an established parts supplier against an unprofitable EV maker; Magna's thin margins are real and cash-generative, Rivian's deep losses are the cost of building an automaker, and the supplier is the functioning business against the funded ambition.
