TORONTO — Magna International Inc. is upping its sales outlook for 2025 as demand for light vehicle production remains steady despite geopolitical headwinds, the auto parts company said on Friday.

The company, which keeps its books in U.S. dollars, said the profit amounted to US$1.08 per diluted share for the quarter ended Sept. 30 compared with US$1.68 per diluted share a year earlier.
