American Axle Strike to Cost GM $1.8B in Profit
FOXBusiness
General Motors (GM), the world’s second-largest auto maker, said the American Axle strike affected 30 facilities and will result in a $1.8 billion pre-tax profit hit next quarter.
The car maker said it lost 230,000 vehicles in lost production, and expects only to make up a portion of that loss because of the downturn in the economy and “the market shift away from the types of vehicles that were impacted by the action at American Axle."
American Axle (AXL) produces products primarily for GM’s pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles.
GM shares fell more than 4% and hit a 26-year low Friday afternoon.
