About these figures.Magna International is a foreign company: it files an annual report on Form 40-F, prepared under US accounting standards (US GAAP), instead of a 10-K, and no quarterly reports, so this page has fiscal years only. Its shares trade in the US as American depositary shares (ADSs), and one ADS can stand for several ordinary shares, so per-share figures are per ordinary share and the page has no market value, P/E or valuation model.

Results dates
In plain words: Every quarter, companies publish how much they sold and earned. These are the days Magna International did it, and the next one. Share prices often move a lot on those days.
From SEC filings: the results press release (8-K) or, without one, the quarterly or annual report.
