In short

Thesis
GM trades close to its intrinsic value because investors weigh strong truck profits and buybacks against tariffs and EV costs, and steady margins with lower tariff costs can lift the value.
Gap
Can close. The Q4 2026 report with the 2027 guidance, expected in late January 2027, shows whether truck margins hold against tariffs and EV costs.

Company guidance: EBIT-adjusted of $14.5 billion to $15.5 billion and EPS-diluted-adjusted of $12.75 to $13.75 for 2026 (, Q3 2026 earnings release (8-K))

Price history

About

General Motors (GM) designs, builds and sells cars, trucks, crossovers and SUVs, and auto parts and services, under the Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC brands. It reports three segments: GM North America, GM International and GM Financial, which gives auto loans and leases. In the first nine months of 2026, GM sold 2.0 million vehicles in the United States, a market share of 16.4%, and its joint ventures in China sold 1.1 million vehicles. Revenue was $50.0 billion in Q3 2026.

The head office is in Detroit, Michigan. Mary Barra is Chair and Chief Executive Officer. GM moves its stock listing from the New York Stock Exchange to Nasdaq on November 17, 2026, and the symbol stays GM.

Thesis

GM trades close to its intrinsic value because investors weigh its strong truck and SUV profits and large buybacks against tariffs, the cost of its smaller EV plans and the cycle of car demand. In Q3 2026, EBIT-adjusted rose 21.6% to $4,106 million and EPS-diluted-adjusted rose 32% to $3.70. GM North America had an EBIT-adjusted margin of 8.7%. GM finished its $6.0 billion share repurchase program, approved a new $20.0 billion program and had 849 million shares at September 30, 2026, against 904 million at the end of 2025.

But GM estimates that tariffs lower EBIT-adjusted by $2.5 billion to $3.5 billion in 2026, and EV strategic realignment charges were $3,594 million in the first nine months of 2026. For the price to rise with value, three things must be true. North America margins must stay near 8% or more. Tariff costs must not rise.

EV charges must end and EV losses must get smaller. The Q4 2026 report with the 2027 guidance, expected in late January 2027, is the next test.

Risks

  • Tariffs raise costs. GM estimates that they lower EBIT-adjusted by $2.5 billion to $3.5 billion in 2026, and new tariffs or changes to trade agreements can increase this.
  • EV demand fell after changes in U.S. policy. EV strategic realignment charges were $3,594 million in the first nine months of 2026, and more charges can come.
  • Most profit comes from trucks and SUVs in North America. Lower demand, higher incentives or a recession can cut margins fast.
  • GM International earned EBIT-adjusted of only $28 million in Q3 2026, and competition in China is strong. GM may record more restructuring charges there.
  • GM Financial carries credit risk on its loans and residual value risk on its leases. The residual value of its leased vehicles was $24.4 billion at September 30, 2026.
