Linamar (LNR.TO) on Wednesday said it swung to a fourth-quarter profit on higher sales.
The auto parts, mobility and agricultural equipment manufacturer said it earned $110.7 million in the period, or $1.85 per share, compared with a year-prior loss of $232.3 million, or $3.78.
Sales rose to $2.52 billion from $2.38 billion.
The company said most of its products are compliant with the CUSMA trade agreement and not subject to U.S. tariffs.
"2025 was a year of challenges with all our markets down and a world devolved into tariff actions and reactions. Despite that, Linamar's long term and diversified focus helped us achieve record earnings for the second consecutive year," executive chair Linda Hasenfratz said " ... Our outlook is positive for continued growth top and bottom line where headwinds are just providing wind in our sails."
Linamar shares closed down $0.07 to $92.68 on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
