Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Global clean air legislation enables BorgWarner's top-line growth to exceed worldwide growth in demand for light vehicles.

Bears

BorgWarner customers possess pricing leverage but may be more restrained in the exercise of that power, given suppliers' greater degree of customer diversity. However, contractual annual price reductions will continue to be the industry norm.
