Magna International, Inc. (NYSE:MGA) on Thursday announced plans to divest its Lighting and Rooftop Systems businesses as part of a portfolio optimization strategy. The companies did not disclose the terms of the deal.

Transaction Details

Magna signed definitive agreements to sell the businesses through three separate transactions. A global investment firm will acquire Lighting operations across North America, South America, and China, while another firm will acquire European Lighting and Rooftop Systems operations.

The businesses generated approximately $1.1 billion in combined global sales in 2025, including about $1 billion from Lighting and $100 million from Rooftop Systems.
