Canadian auto billionaire's fortune rebounds despite US tariffs

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Linda Hasenfratz, CEO of Linamar Corp., has seen her net worth nearly double to $1.8 billion, recovering from a dip caused by US tariffs. The company's stock has rebounded significantly, outperforming the broader market. This resilience is largely due to auto parts being exempt from tariffs under the existing trade agreement between the US, Canada, and Mexico, which ensures a substantial portion of Linamar's earnings remain tariff-free.
