General Motors Lifts 2025 Outlook as Stock Rises on Strong Cash Flow and Market Share
General Motors (GM) shares climbed 4.2% to $69.66 following a robust third-quarter performance, defying headwinds in its EV segment. The automaker raised its full-year EBIT-adjusted profit forecast to $12 billion-$13 billion, with free cash FLOW projected at $10 billion-$11 billion. U.S. market share reached 17%—the highest Q3 level since 2017—while China operations generated $80 million in equity income despite a $1.6 billion charge for EV and hydrogen initiatives.
Subscription services like OnStar and Super Cruise grew 34% year-over-year, offsetting $900 million in warranty cost increases. Analysts maintain a Moderate Buy rating with a $73.56 average price target, reflecting confidence in GM's traditional automotive strength even as it navigates EV production delays, including the paused BrightDrop rollout.
