BorgWarner's (BWA) Q2 Earnings Beat Estimates, Rise Y/Y

Read MoreHide Full Article

BorgWarner, Inc.(BWA - Free Report) is a leading manufacturer of powertrain products for major automakers. Its products include four-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive transfer cases (primarily for light trucks and sport utility vehicles), as well as automatic transmission and timing chain systems. These products are produced and sold worldwide, primarily to original equipment manufacturers.

BorgWarner is poised to benefit from strong demand, global expansion, capital deployment and restructuring of the Drivetrain segment. However, negative impact from foreign currencies, pricing pressure from original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and intensifying competition are some concerns.
