Q4 Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues in the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at $3.56 billion, indicating year-over-year decline of 2.2%. Lower North American volume related to the GM strike and unfavorable impact of foreign exchange and commodities are expected to have weighed on the top line.

The consensus mark for earnings stands at $1.02, suggesting year-over-year decline of 23.9%. Unfavorable impact of GM strike is expected to have largely offset strong material and manufacturing performance, and overhead cost reduction.
