In a note released Thursday morning, Credit Suisse initiated coverage on American Axle & Manufacturing AXL with a Neutral rating and a $20 price target.
The team at Credit Suisse believes American Axle faces a few structural headwinds going forward, which have warranted a Neutral rating despite a strong backlog of orders.
The headwinds include limited upside in full-size pickup demand, production in Brazil and Thailand is expected to drop ~15 and ~25 percent, respectively, and EBITDA margins are expected to drop from 13.8 percent in 2014 to 13.5 percent in 2016.
