American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings shares are trading lower after the company reported preliminary FY24 financial results. Also, the company announced it will acquire all outstanding shares of Dowlais Group.

American Axle &amp; Manufacturing (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXL#NYSE">AXL</a>) has entered into an agreement to purchase all outstanding shares of Dowlais Group plc (DWL) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/n43295144/aam-announces-combination-with-dowlais-for-1-44-billion-in-cash-and-stock" rel="noreferrer noopener">for about $1.44 billion</a>.
This acquisition will involve a mix of cash and shares, creating a huge entity in the global driveline and metal-forming industries.
Approved by the boards of both companies, the deal aims to expand the American Axle&#8217;s product portfolio, spanning various vehicle types, including both internal combustion engine and electric vehicles.
The terms of the deal outline that each Dowlais shareholder will receive 0.0863 shares of American Axle, along with 42 pence in cash for every Dowlais share they hold.
Furthermore, Dowlais will distribute a final dividend of up to 2.8 pence per share for the 2024 fiscal year. The overall value of the transaction is estimated at 85.2 pence per Dowlais share, marking a 25% premium compared to its closing price on January 28, 2025.

&#8220;Together with Dowlais, we will have the powertrain-agnostic product portfolio, global reach, commitment to innovation and financial strength to meet the needs of customers and succeed in a dynamic market environment.&#8221;

Investors in American Axle &amp; Manufacturing Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/axl#NYSE">AXL</a>) need to pay close attention to the stock based on moves in the options market lately. That is because the Oct. 18, 2024 $4.00 Call had some of the highest implied volatility of all equity options today.
<h2>What is Implied Volatility?</h2>
Implied volatility shows how much movement the market is expecting in the future. Options with high levels of implied volatility suggest that investors in the underlying stocks are expecting a big move in one direction or the other. It could also mean there is an event coming up soon that may cause a big rally or a huge sell-off. However, implied volatility is only one piece of the puzzle when putting together an options trading strategy.
<h2>What do the Analysts Think?</h2>
Clearly, options traders are pricing in a big move for American Axle shares, but what is the fundamental picture for the company? Currently, American Axle is a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) in the Automotive - Original Equipment industry that ranks in the Bottom 38% of our Zacks Industry Rank. Over the last 60 days, no analysts have increased their earnings estimates for the current quarter, while three analysts have revised their estimates downward. The net effect has taken our Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter from 5 cents per share to 2 cents in that period.
Given the way analysts feel about American Axle right now, this huge implied volatility could mean there&#39;s a trade developing. Oftentimes, options traders look for options with high levels of implied volatility to sell premium. This is a strategy many seasoned traders use because it captures decay. At expiration, the hope for these traders is that the underlying stock does not move as much as originally expected.

After a blistering Thursday that saw the S&amp;P 500 close with its best session in nearly two years — up 2.3% — Wall Street&#8217;s price action turned sluggish on a Friday lacking <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/interest-rates">market-moving economic events.</a>
By midday in New York, major indices were slightly positive or hovering around the flat line, signaling a slowdown in the bullish sentiment compared to the previous session.
Since the beginning of the week, the S&amp;P 500 is down 0.5%, with a few hours of trading left to determine whether the U.S. stock market can avoid closing in the red for the fourth consecutive week.
Meanwhile, there's a renewed demand for long-dated U.S. Treasury bonds, with yields declining by about 6 basis points on both the 10-year and 30-year notes. As a result, the popular iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) rallied 1%, snapping a three-session losing streak.
The dollar slightly weakened, slipping 0.5% against the Japanese yen after three consecutive days of gains.
Traders now see nearly equal odds of a 50-basis-point or a 25-basis-point rate cut by the Federal Reserve in September, according to the CME Group&#8217;s FedWatch tool.
In commodities, oil is up 0.7%, with West Texas Intermediate (WTI) light crude poised for its third consecutive session of gains.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) plunged 2% after rallying nearly 12%, marking its best-performing day since February 2022.

American Axle Is Targeting FY24 Sales In Range Of $6.1B-$6.3B Vs. $6.05B-$6.35B Prior (Estimate: $6.22B)

American Axle &amp; Mfg Hldgs (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXL#NYSE">AXL</a>) reported quarterly earnings of $0.19 per share which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $0.11 by 72.73 percent. This is a 58.33 percent increase over earnings of $0.12 per share from the same period last year. The company reported quarterly sales of $1.63 billion which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $1.58 billion by 3.29 percent. This is a 3.88 percent increase over sales of $1.57 billion the same period last year.

American Axle & Mfg Hldgs Q2 Adj $0.19 Beats $0.11 Estimate, Sales $1.63B Beat $1.58B Estimate

Sentiment continues to remain upbeat as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/08/40157665/nasdaq-r2k-futures-tumble-over-4-vix-spikes-over-100-bitcoin-plunges-hard-as-global-sell-off-deepen">stocks look to close out a volatile week</a> on a positive note. The major index futures traded modestly higher in early trading, and given the absence of any major catalysts, the market could most likely consolidate its recent gains. Traders may dread to take huge positions ahead of next week&#8217;s inflation reports and retail sales data.
The CBOE Volatility Index, commonly called VIX, fell toward the 23 level, extending its slide from Thursday. The yen has strengthened slightly against the greenback, potentially stirring anxiety among traders. Bond yields are flatlining, while the rest of global markets have fed off the strength of Wall Street.

Cues From Last Session:
U.S. stocks turned in a stellar performance on Thursday, as a report showing a bigger-than-expected decline in jobless claims, some positive earnings reports and the yen&#8217;s weakness set in motion a wave of buying in beaten-down stocks. The jobless claims data mitigated concerns regarding the weakening of the labor market and in turn, allayed recession worries.
The averages opened higher, moved roughly sideways and took a leg-up in the afternoon before moving sideways yet again. The S&amp;P 500 had the best outing since Nov. 30, 2022, in terms of the percentage of gains, according to Marketwatch.
The buying was across the board, with IT stocks spearheading the advance.

<figcaption class="wp-element-caption"> Insights From Analysts: Fund manager Louis Navellier expects the volatility to persist in August. The month is marked by &#8220;gyrations&#8221; and &#8220;air pockets,&#8221; he said, adding that this is attributable to &#8220;many Wall Street pros, plus Europe&#8221; being on vacation. &#8220;Low trading volume in August provides fertile ground for wild market gyrations like Monday's,&#8221; Navellier said. &#8220;So I am expecting this down, up, down market action to persist until the trading volume is exhausted,&#8221; he added. David Sadkin, President at Bel Air Investment Advisors, said the markets appear to be entering into a correction phase, with the much-loved tech sector leading the way. The strategist is sanguine, as he pointed to the economy, which while slowing, is continuing to expand, the better-than-expected European GDP growth and robust earnings growth. He expects the market to end higher by year-end. If the economy does slow, the Fed has leeway to cut rates and boost liquidity by other means to cushion any potential downside, Sadkin said. &#8220;Also, as we get more clarity on the geopolitical and the US political landscape, the market will likely settle down and continue its upward trajectory,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Long-term investors will weather a slowdown by remaining dispassionate and focusing on fundamentals rather than market panic.&#8221; Upcoming Economic Data: There are no major economic data/events scheduled for the day.
