American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings Inc. (NYSE:AXL) stock has hit a 52-week low, dropping to $4.03, as the company faces a tumultuous market environment.

The 1-year change data for American Axle & Manufacturing shows a substantial decline of -45.03%, underscoring the challenges the automotive supplier has faced in the midst of industry-wide disruptions and economic pressures. Investors and analysts are closely monitoring the company’s strategic moves to navigate through these headwinds and improve its market position.
