MGA vs XPO Comparison

Magna International prides itself on a highly entrepreneurial culture and a corporate constitution that outlines distribution of profits to various stakeholders. This automotive supplier's product groups include exteriors, interiors, seating, roof systems, body and chassis, powertrain, vision and electronic systems, closure systems, electric vehicle systems, tooling and engineering, and contract vehicle assembly. In 2023, 48% of Magna's $42.8 billion of revenue came from North America while Europe accounted for approximately 38% and Asia the remainder. The firm's top six customers constituted 76% of revenue with the top three being GM, Mercedes, and BMW. GM was the largest contributor at 14%. The company was founded in 1957, has over 179,000 employees, and is based in Aurora, Ontario.

Following the spinoff of its contract logistics division (GXO) in 2021 and freight brokerage operations (RXO) in 2022, XPO is moving closer to becoming a pure-play asset-based less-than-truckload carrier. On a pro forma basis for the RXO spinoff, We estimate LTL shipping now makes up 60% of total revenue, with XPO's European truckload and LTL operations making up 40%. However, XPO's LTL segment EBITDA mix is much higher than 60%. We believe XPO intends to divest its European trucking division once it finds the right buyer.
