Linamar ( (TSE:LNR) ) has issued an update.
Linamar reported record normalized net earnings of $622.1 million for 2025, its second straight year of record profits, despite a modest decline in annual sales to $10.2 billion. Free cash flow surged to $937.2 million, marking a 13th consecutive year of positive free cash generation and supporting a strong liquidity position of $2.1 billion.
The Mobility segment delivered double-digit quarterly sales growth and a 34.3% increase in normalized operating earnings for the year, with margins returning to targeted levels. Strategic acquisitions of Aludyne’s North American assets and Georg Fischer’s Leipzig casting plant, along with market share gains in both mobility and industrial products, underpin Linamar’s confidence in continued top- and bottom-line growth and its ability to weather tariffs and market downturns.
Linamar continued to return capital to shareholders through share repurchases and maintained its quarterly dividend at C$0.29 per share. Management emphasized that its diversified strategy, disciplined cash management and opportunistic distressed acquisitions are strengthening technology and human capital capabilities, reinforcing the company’s long-term growth and value-creation trajectory.
The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:LNR) stock is a Hold with a C$98.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Linamar stock, see the TSE:LNR Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on TSE:LNR Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, TSE:LNR is a Outperform.
The score is driven primarily by solid financial stability (strong balance sheet and operational efficiency) and constructive technical momentum (price above major moving averages with positive MACD). This is tempered by pressured profitability (low and declining net margin/ROE, negative TTM revenue growth) and only middling valuation support given a ~21x P/E and a modest ~1.28% dividend yield.
