Reason
Stifel raised the firm's price target on American Axle to $7 from $6 and keeps a Hold rating on the shares. After significant uncertainty in the global macro economy post April 2, the biggest adjustment the firm has seen for its industrial companies is an increase in pricing, which has been almost exclusively passed through to customers with little resistance, says the analyst, who thinks on average that tariffs have so far been slightly accretive to EPS among the firm's diversified industrials coverage.

Reason
RBC Capital upgraded American Axle to Outperform from Sector Perform with a price target of $8, up from $6. The firm expects vehicle production forecasts for North America to move higher due to stronger than expected sales demand. RBC also views American Axle's Dowlais deal as both financially and strategically attractive. The company retains a strong U.S. position, which is important given current strength in the market, the analyst tells investors in a research note. RBC sees American Axle's multiple re-rating higher.
