Fitch revises American Axle to positive

Fitch Ratings said it affirmed the issuer default ratings of American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings, Inc. (AXL) and its American Axle & Manufacturing, Inc. (AAM) subsidiary at BB-.

The agency also affirmed the ratings for AAM's secured revolving credit facility and secured term loan A at BB+ and assigned them a recovery rating of RR1. It also affirmed AAM's senior unsecured notes rating at BB- and assigned them a recovery rating of RR4.

AAM's ratings apply to a $523.5 million secured revolving credit facility, a $138.8 million secured term loan A and $1.35 billion in senior unsecured notes.

The outlooks were revised to positive from stable.

The positive outlook revision was driven by Fitch's expectations for a further strengthening of the auto supplier's credit profile over the intermediate-term, the agency said.
