BorgWarner posts stronger-than-expected profit, (NYSE: BWA), (NYSE: MS)

BorgWarner Inc, which makes automotive turbochargers and emissions systems, posted a higher-than-expected quarterly profit on Thursday on strong demand for all-wheel drive systems, dual clutch transmission modules and other parts in its drivetrain business.The auto parts maker, whose shares rose 1.5 percent in morning trading, also reiterated the full-year profit outlook it provided last month, although Morgan Stanley analyst Ravi Shanker called the margin forecast very conservative."The bad news in the results was the ongoing softness in the core engine business," Shanker said in a research note. "The good news was the continued strength of drivetrain."The Auburn Hills, Michigan-based company is one of the biggest suppliers of turbocharging technology, which automakers have been using to boost fuel economy and meet upcoming federal standards for mileage.
