Company Overview

General Motors Company operates through the manufacture and sale of internal combustion engine vehicles and electric vehicles, with its operating strength concentrated in full-size trucks and sport utility vehicles. The company also generates revenue from GM Financial and digital subscriptions through OnStar and Super Cruise, alongside smaller businesses such as GM Defense and GM Insurance. In fiscal Q2 2026, GM Financial generated adjusted pre-tax earnings of $600 million and paid a $250 million dividend to the company, while recognized OnStar digital revenue reached $800 million, up 20% year over year.

In fiscal Q2 2026, General Motors reported revenue of $48.0 billion, up $900 million year over year, net income of $1.3 billion, and earnings per share of $1.41 according to EDGAR data. Adjusted earnings before interest and taxes reached $3.9 billion, up $900 million year over year, while adjusted automotive free cash flow increased by $2.2 billion to $5.0 billion. Higher internal combustion engine vehicle volumes in North America and South America contributed to revenue growth, but were partially offset by lower electric vehicle volumes.

North America was the main earnings driver in fiscal Q2 2026, generating adjusted earnings before interest and taxes of $3.4 billion, up more than 40%, and a margin of 8.6%, representing a year-over-year improvement of 2.5 percentage points. International operations excluding China income generated $100 million, and joint ventures in China contributed $100 million in income despite the difficult competitive environment. During the first half of fiscal 2026, revenue reached $92 billion, adjusted earnings before interest and taxes were $8.2 billion, and adjusted diluted earnings per share were $7.27, up more than 35%.

What's Driving the Stock

  • On July 21, 2026, General Motors raised its fiscal 2026 guidance for the second time and now expects adjusted earnings before interest and taxes of between $14 billion and $16 billion, adjusted diluted earnings per share of between $12 and $14, and adjusted automotive free cash flow of between $9.5 billion and $11.5 billion.
  • GM's share of the U.S. full-size truck market exceeded 42% during the first half of fiscal 2026, more than 10 percentage points ahead of its closest competitor. The company plans for the next-generation light-duty Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra to begin arriving in showrooms in December 2026, while maintaining record annualized production volumes during the launch across three assembly plants.
  • The company expects to add 1 million digital subscriptions during fiscal 2026 and generate more than $3 billion in recognized software and services revenue. Deferred revenue reached $6.3 billion at the end of fiscal Q2 2026, up nearly 50% year over year, while the strategy to expand Super Cruise aims to add 160 thousand vehicles equipped with the system.
  • GM Defense is targeting approximately $700 million in revenue and a positive earnings before interest and taxes result in fiscal 2026, with a compound annual revenue growth rate exceeding 30% and double-digit margins in subsequent years. The opportunity includes the U.S. Army's plan to purchase more than 10 thousand Infantry Squad Vehicles if funding is approved, supporting expected contracts exceeding $1 billion.
  • News on August 18, 2026 indicated that BlackRock invested approximately $5.96 billion for an 8.81% stake in General Motors. On August 22, 2026, GM reached tentative labor agreements with Unifor covering more than 4600 members at four Canadian facilities, including the Oshawa and St. Catharines plants, reducing the risk of production disruption if the agreements are finalized.

Buying & Selling Case

▲ Buying Case4 pts

  • +The bullish case is based on a clear improvement in operating profitability: adjusted earnings before interest and taxes rose to $3.9 billion in fiscal Q2 2026, and the North America margin returned to the target range of 8% to 10% despite the impact of tariffs.
  • +The truck and sport utility vehicle mix provides tangible pricing power; GM's incentives remained approximately 1.5 to 2 percentage points below the industry average, while its share of full-size trucks exceeded 42% in the first half of fiscal 2026.
  • +Growth in OnStar and Super Cruise adds high-margin revenue that is less tied to the vehicle sales cycle; recognized revenue in fiscal Q2 2026 reached $800 million, up 20%, and management stated that OnStar's historical margins are approximately 70%.
  • +Liquidity and share repurchases support earnings-per-share growth; automotive cash available reached $19.7 billion at the end of fiscal Q2 2026, and the diluted share count declined 8% year over year to 893 million shares after the repurchase of 36 million shares during the first half.

Valuation

The average analyst price target is $100.1, approximately 9% above the 52-week range high of $91.85, while the wide target range extends from $61 to $130 and reflects significant variation in profitability and risk estimates. The consensus leans toward a buy, but the absence of an available price-to-earnings ratio in the data, together with $10.9 billion in electric vehicle restructuring charges and expected cost pressures, makes the target range more useful than relying on an unavailable earnings multiple.

The company reported net income of $1.3 billion and earnings per share of $1.41 according to EDGAR data, while adjusted earnings before interest and taxes reached $3.9 billion. The North America business generated $3.4 billion in adjusted earnings before interest and taxes and an 8.6% margin, while adjusted automotive free cash flow reached $5.0 billion.

Why did General Motors raise its fiscal 2026 guidance?

The company raised its guidance on July 21, 2026 following improvements in pricing, warranty costs, and core business performance during the first half of fiscal 2026. It now expects adjusted earnings before interest and taxes of between $14 billion and $16 billion and adjusted diluted earnings per share of between $12 and $14.

−
The adjustment of the electric vehicle strategy resulted in additional charges of $2.3 billion in fiscal Q2 2026, bringing restructuring-related charges since the second half of fiscal 2025 to $10.9 billion, of which approximately $7.2 billion had a cash impact. Improvements from reducing electric vehicle losses were also partly driven by lower volumes, illustrating the continued weakness of the economics of this business.
  • −Management expects pressure from commodity and logistics inflation and higher DRAM memory costs totaling $1.5 billion to $2.0 billion during fiscal 2026, in addition to investments of between $1 billion and $1.5 billion in production localization, supply chain strengthening, and software. The raised guidance assumes no material escalation in the Middle East or significant increase in inflation, so earnings could come under pressure if these assumptions do not hold.
  • −The company expects fiscal Q4 2026 to be weaker than the usual seasonal pattern because of new truck launch costs, an expected year-over-year decline of approximately 35 thousand units, and rising production localization costs. It also expects the pricing benefit in the second half to be lower as results begin to compare against fiscal 2026 model-year price increases.
  • −Competition and market disruptions remain risks, particularly in China, where management described price competition as intense and unsustainable. The company's overall market share declined by approximately 60 basis points in the first half of fiscal 2026 due to the discontinuation of models including Chevrolet Malibu and Cadillac XT4, a smaller electric vehicle market following reduced consumer incentives, and low dealer inventory at the beginning of the year.
  • −On August 24, 2026, NHTSA expanded its investigation into General Motors' electronic braking system following additional complaints concerning reliability and performance in certain models. This investigation could increase regulatory and operational exposure if it results in recalls or remediation costs, but the available information does not yet assign a financial value to these risks.
  • −Insider activity during the three months ending with the latest transaction on August 3, 2026 showed net selling of $45.9 million, with 13 sales and no purchases recorded. This is a weak trading signal on its own because insider sales may be prearranged, and the available information does not clarify whether those transactions were scheduled.
  • How do OnStar and Super Cruise contribute to General Motors' growth?

    Recognized OnStar digital revenue reached $800 million in fiscal Q2 2026, up 20% year over year, while deferred revenue reached $6.3 billion, up nearly 50%. The company expects more than $3 billion in recognized software and services revenue during fiscal 2026 and the addition of 1 million new subscriptions across its digital portfolio. It also aims to add 160 thousand vehicles equipped with Super Cruise by making it standard on higher trims of Silverado and Sierra and optional on most other trims, with management citing subscription retention rates of between 30% and 40%.

    How significant are the risks from restructuring GM's electric vehicle business?

    GM recorded additional electric vehicle-related charges of $2.3 billion in fiscal Q2 2026, including $900 million for suppliers, $700 million to realign the battery supply chain, and $700 million in non-cash impairments. Total charges since the second half of fiscal 2025 reached approximately $10.9 billion, of which nearly $7.2 billion had a cash impact, with $4.5 billion paid through the end of the quarter. In contrast, the company expects electric vehicle losses to improve by between $1 billion and $1.5 billion during fiscal 2026 as a result of aligning production capacity with demand and lower volumes.

    What regulatory and supply chain risks does General Motors face?

    On August 24, 2026, NHTSA expanded its investigation into General Motors' electronic braking system after receiving additional complaints about reliability and performance in certain models, with no potential financial cost specified in the available information. On the supply side, GM entered into a $4.5 billion agreement with Procura Auto Parts to pre-fund suppliers and hold critical inventory on its behalf. The company also faces expected annual costs of between $1.5 billion and $2.0 billion from commodity and logistics inflation and DRAM memory, while investing between $1 billion and $1.5 billion during fiscal 2026 in production localization, supply chain strengthening, and software.
