American Axle (AXL) Q2 EPS Jumps 40%
American Axle & Manufacturing (NYSE:AXL) is a leading supplier of driveline and metal forming systems to the global automotive industry. On August 8, 2025, the company reported financial results for Q2 FY2025. The main headline: profitability advanced even as sales and cash flow softened, with adjusted earnings per share (Non-GAAP) of $0.21 surpassing the consensus estimate of $0.15, while revenue of $1.54 billion missed the estimate of $1.58 billion. The quarter highlighted the company's tight cost control and margin gains, but also ongoing challenges tied to customer production schedules and concentrated client exposure.
Overall, the period reflected progress on operational performance—especially in profitability. However, both segment sales and free cash flow declined year over year, reflecting pressure from lower end-market demand and shifts in customer schedules. Management responded with slight upward revisions to its full-year 2025 financial outlook, reflecting confidence in efficiency initiatives.
