BorgWarner sees annual sales below estimates on supply snags, higher costs

Reuters

(Reuters) – BorgWarner Inc on Thursday forecast full-year sales below analysts’ estimates as supply chain issues continued to weigh on the auto supplier, sending the company’s shares down nearly 2% in premarket trading.

The Michigan-based firm like other auto companies has been grappling with a shortage of certain raw materials and higher costs to procure them.

Supply headwinds, which began during the height of the pandemic, threaten to hurt demand for auto parts and comes at a time when carmakers are ramping up production.
