Linamar Corp., led by billionaire founder Linda Hasenfratz, sees her fortune roughly double as the company’s shares rise. Both outlets report strong share performance during the period and point to resilience in Linamar’s business even as U.S. tariffs remain a headwind.
The context is Linamar’s exposure to the U.S. market and to tariff policy. Financial Post notes that Linamar’s shares are up about 27% this year, helping drive the increase in Hasenfratz’s wealth. Fortune adds more detail on how the tariff environment intersects with the company’s revenue mix, saying that auto parts—which it describes as more than 60% of earnings—play a central role and that tariffs are not uniformly applied across the parts Linamar supplies. Together, the coverage focuses on the effect of tariffs versus underlying demand and earnings composition, with Fortune emphasizing tariff “sparing” of key auto parts while Financial Post stays broader and centers on the stock move.
