General Motors (NYSE:GM) 주식

GENERAL MOTORS CO

General Motors

General Motors Co. emerged from the bankruptcy of General Motors Corp. (old GM) in July 2009. GM has eight brands and operates under three segments: GM North America, GM International, and GM Financial. The United States now has four brands instead of eight under old GM. The company regained its US market share leadership in 2022, after losing it to Toyota due to the chip shortage in 2021. 2024's share was 17.0%. The Cruise autonomous vehicle arm, which GM now owns outright, previously operated driverless geofenced AV robotaxi services in San Francisco and other cities, but after a 2023 accident, GM decided that it will focus on personal AVs. GM Financial became the company's captive finance arm in 2010 via the purchase of AmeriCredit.

President Donald Trump has mandated that automakers, including Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) , manufacture entire vehicles and all components within the U.S. This announcement was made during a press conference on Friday, coinciding with Elon Musk&#8217;s departure as a senior adviser at the White House.
What Happened: President Trump addressed concerns regarding tariffs impacting companies like Tesla that import auto parts.
He assured that Musk would eventually produce entire cars domestically, noting, &#8220;Pretty much he does.&#8221;
Trump emphasized that all manufacturers must build their parts in the U.S., expressing dissatisfaction with parts being made in countries like Canada, Mexico, and Europe.
&#8220;Nobody knew what the hell was happening,&#8221; he stated, declaring that within the next year, automakers must ensure complete production occurs in America.
Earlier this year, the Trump administration imposed a 25% tariff on imported vehicles and auto parts, which the auto industry claims will disrupt supply chains and increase car prices. While Tesla manufactures its electric vehicles in the U.S., many key components are sourced from abroad.

Why It Matters: The automotive industry has been grappling with the implications of tariffs since President Trump hinted at increasing the 25% tariff on Canadian automobile imports in April, suggesting that the U.S. auto industry would benefit from reduced Canadian involvement.
In a statement from the Oval Office, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/45018925/trump-says-us-doesnt-need-canadian-cars-hints-tariffs-could-rise-we-dont-want-your-cars-with-all-due">Trump remarked</a>, "We don&#8217;t want your cars, with all due respect."
In May, General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) CEO Mary Barra <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45664131/general-motors-ceo-backs-trumps-auto-tariffs-as-a-tool-to-level-the-playing-fieldtheyve-taken-the-time-to-understand-our-industry">expressed support</a> for Trump&#8217;s tariffs, citing them as a tool to level the playing field against foreign government subsidies and tax policies.
The Trump administration <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45249274/trump-eases-auto-tariffs-auto-makers-welcome-and-appreciate-the-move">eased some auto tariffs</a>, allowing for reimbursements for domestic car producers importing parts, though these reimbursements will phase out over time.
This policy shift underscores the administration&#8217;s commitment to strengthening the U.S. automotive sector by encouraging domestic production, a move that could have significant implications for automakers and their supply chains.

Trump Demands Automakers, Including Tesla, Build Entirely In The US

Global automakers are expressing serious concerns over a potential shortage of rare-earth magnets from China, which could result in factory closures within weeks.
What Happened: A letter dated May 9 from the Alliance for Automotive Innovation, representing major automakers like General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>), Toyota Motor Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>), and Volkswagen AG (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VWAGY#OTC">VWAGY</a>), was sent to the Trump administration highlighting these urgent issues, according to a report by Reuters.
&#8220;Without reliable access to these elements and magnets, automotive suppliers will be unable to produce critical automotive components, including automatic transmissions, throttle bodies, alternators, various motors, sensors, seat belts, speakers, lights, motors, power steering, and cameras,&#8221; the Alliance for Automotive Innovation said.
This could lead to decreased production volumes or even the shutdown of vehicle assembly lines in the U.S., the group added. &#8220;In severe cases, this could include the need for reduced production volumes or even a shutdown of vehicle assembly lines.&#8221;

China, which controls over 90% of the global processing capacity for these magnets, imposed restrictions in April, requiring exporters to obtain licenses.
Why It Matters: Earlier in April, China imposed<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44650952/china-restricts-rare-earth-exports-to-us-as-part-of-tariff-retaliation"> export restrictions on seven rare earth elements</a>, including samarium and dysprosium, as a retaliatory measure against U.S. tariffs.
Meanwhile, the European Union<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44766503/eu-fast-tracks-mining-to-cut-china-reliance-builds-216m-rare-earth-recycling-plant"> is taking steps to reduce its dependency</a> on China for rare earth imports by fast-tracking mining and recycling initiatives.
The U.S. has escalated its tech war with China by imposing new export<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45663228/us-escalates-tech-war-with-china-new-export-curbs-hit-cadence-synopsys-as-eda-software-chemicals-and-tools-face-license-requirements-report"> restrictions on semiconductor design software</a> and other critical materials.

China's Rare-Earth Magnet Restrictions Threaten Auto Production, Could Result In 'Shutdown Of Assembly Lines:' Report

General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) claims the company is the #1 seller of EVs in Canada, as Elon Musk's Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45663820/tesla-deliveries-drop-87-in-quebec-in-q1-hitting-2-year-low-amid-incentive-cuts-musks-political-ties">sales plummet in Canada's Quebec</a>.
What Happened: The Detroit-based automaker experienced a 252% surge in sales in Q1 2025 in Canada, the company said in an Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJonmeVOxjY">post</a> on Thursday.
"Guess who's in the EV driver's seat now? &#x1f4aa;&#x26a1; That's right – we've claimed the top spot as the #1 EV seller in Canada! With 13 electric models, GM's EV sales more than doubled in Q1, meaning more Canadians are choosing our electric vehicles," the company said in the post.
Q1 2025 sales data released by GM showcased that the company's EV sales surge was led by "the Chevrolet Blazer EV up 56 per cent, Cadillac Lyriq up 123.6 per cent, GMC Hummer EV pickup up 232.1 per cent," the company said.
Why It Matters: The news comes in as Tesla recorded an 87% plunge in sales in Canada's Quebec. The data showcased that Musk's company delivered 524 vehicles in the province, while new registrations fell to a two-year low. This is in addition to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/eurozone/25/05/45616006/teslas-european-woes-see-no-end-april-sales-crash-49-as-rivals-race-ahead-in-ev-market">a 49% fall</a> in the company&#8217;s European sales during April 2025.
The decline reportedly stems from a mix of Musk's political associations with U.S. President Donald Trump and DOGE, as well as the Canadian government ending <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44488018/canada-bars-tesla-from-ev-rebates-programs-in-response-to-illegitimate-and-illegal-us-tariffs">key EV incentives </a>in the country.
Elsewhere, GM EV <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45581386/gm-ev-sales-surge-in-the-us-amid-5-billion-blow-from-donald-trumps-automotive-tariffs">sales have surged</a> in the U.S. in April, data shows. The company acquired over 14.4% market share in the domestic EV sector despite Trump's tariffs.
Price Action: GM currently trades at $48.59, according to<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard"> Benzinga Pro data</a>.

General Motors Tops Canadian EV Market In Q1 As Tesla Sales Tank 87% in Quebec: Report

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/news/25/05/45589788/in-depth-analysis-nvidia-versus-competitors-in-semiconductors-amp-semiconductor-equipment-industry">Nvidia</a> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) is looking beyond Big Tech as it strategizes global expansion by doing deals with foreign governments, the<a href="https://www.ft.com/content/2ba1d064-242d-4a2a-a381-374d9643e23a"> Financial Times</a> reports.
As the innovative chip company behind artificial intelligence, demand for Nvidia&#8217;s technology crosses all boundaries — from neighboring Big Tech companies in Silicon Valley to foreign governments. Following Nvidia&#8217;s <a href="https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/saudi-arabia-and-nvidia-to-build-ai-factories-to-power-next-wave-of-intelligence-for-the-age-of-reasoning">recently announced</a><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/16/business/dealbook/trump-nvidia-ai-middle-east.html"> </a>multibillion-dollar chip agreement with<a href="https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/saudi-arabia-and-nvidia-to-build-ai-factories-to-power-next-wave-of-intelligence-for-the-age-of-reasoning"> </a>as a part of a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/16/business/dealbook/trump-nvidia-ai-middle-east.html">deal with the U.S. government</a> to build a large AI infrastructure, the FT reports that such &#8220;sovereign AI&#8221; deals are a part of Nvidia&#8217;s strategy to be less reliant on&nbsp; &#8220;hyperscalers&#8221; — large cloud computing companies accounting for over half its data center revenue.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Making Its Tech Accessible</h2>
To do this, Nvidia is allowing access to its technology from up-and-coming rivals to enable them to foster relationships with cloud service providers like Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Google,&nbsp; FT reports. The outlet adds that business relationships with Cisco (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>), Dell (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NYSE">DELL</a>), and Hewlett-Packard Enterprise Company (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HPE#NASDAQ">HPE</a>) will help them enable enterprise customers to create their own IT infrastructure instead of outsourcing to the cloud.
&#8220;I&#8217;m more certain [about the business opportunity beyond the big cloud providers] today than I was a year ago,&#8221; Nvidia CEO <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45513246/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-says-chinese-ai-researchers-are-world-class-and-us-companies-are-hiring-a-whole-bunch-of-them">Jensen Huang</a> told the FT in March.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Robotics And Real World Uses</h2>
As part of its expansion, Nvidia sees robots as pivotal to introducing AI to practical real-world uses in robotics, drug development and autonomous navigation. The company presented employee-authored literature at a Singapore conference covering these sectors, highlighting the partnerships with Google, GE HealthCare (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GEHC#NASDAQ">GEHC</a>), and General Motors (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>), FT said.
Experts question whether the scope of the deals Nvidia just made in Saudi Arabia is feasible on an ongoing basis.
&#8220;Is every country going to announce a $10 billion or $50 billion data center like the Saudis? Of course not,&#8221; Seaport Research analyst Jay Goldberg told <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/amid-jensanity-nvidia-signals-plans-keep-ai-crown-2025-05-23/">Reuters.</a> &#8220;They&#8217;re sort of running out of obvious deals.&#8221;
Huang, however, remains bullish: &#8220;AI infrastructure is being built out (everywhere) &#8211; that&#8217;s one of the reasons I&#8217;m traveling around the world&#8230; AI infrastructure is going to be a part of society,&#8221; he told Reuters.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">NVLink Fusion</h2>
Huang explained at the recent Computex conference in Taipei that new technology, rather than mega infrastructure deals with sovereign governments, was the key to the company&#8217;s expansion, Reuters reported. Specifically, Huang spoke about NVLink Fusion, which allows companies to access Nvidia&#8217;s AI infrastructure using custom chips, creating a scalable architecture.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Nvidia Compliant Hardware Will Drive Expansion</h2>
Nvidia&#8217;s NVLink Fusion platform will encourage companies to build compliant hardware and thus drive demand for Nvidia AI network and data centre parts, Reuters says. It means that Nvidia can be a crucial part of a country or company&#8217;s growth without having to carry all the weight of expansion.

Nvidia Aims To Bypass Big Tech Dependency By Going Straight To International Governments, As It Did Recently With Saudi Arabia

<a href="https://investor.gm.com/events/event-details/general-motors-participate-bernsteins-41st-strategic-decisions-conference" title="https://investor.gm.com/events/event-details/general-motors-participate-bernsteins-41st-strategic-decisions-conference">https://investor.gm.com/events/event-details/general-motors-participate-bernsteins-41st-strategic-decisions-conference</a>

General Motors CFO At Bernstein's 41st Strategic Decisions Conference Reportedly Says I Expect We Will Be Repurchasing Shares In The Second Half Of 2025

In a recent interview,&nbsp;General Motors Co.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) CEO&nbsp;Mary Barra&nbsp;expressed her support for the auto tariffs imposed by President&nbsp;Donald Trump, citing the unfair competition faced by U.S. automakers in the global market.
What Happened: Barra, in an interview <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/autos/general-motors-ceo-defends-trump-auto-tariffs-d6f15ab9?ref=biztoc.com">at</a> The Wall Street Journal&#8217;s Future of Everything event, justified Trump&#8217;s tariffs, arguing that American car manufacturers face an unfair disadvantage because of foreign government subsidies and tax policies.
&#8220;For&nbsp;decades now, it has not&nbsp;been a level playing field&nbsp;for us automakers globally, with&nbsp;either tariffs or non-tariff trade&nbsp;barriers. So I think tariffs&nbsp;is one tool that the&nbsp;administration can use to level&nbsp;the playing field,&#8221; Barra said.
She also acknowledged an improvement in her relationship with Trump during his second term—a notable change for GM, which had previously clashed with the White House over its investments in foreign factories and electric vehicles, both of which ran counter to Trump's policies.
Barra also commended the administration for permitting tariff-free imports of parts from Canada and Mexico, as outlined in the free-trade agreement signed during Trump's first term. She remarked, "They've taken the time to understand our industry."

Why It Matters: GM&#8217;s support for Trump&#8217;s auto tariffs comes at a time when the company is grappling with tariff-related costs. The company could face tariffs of up to $5 billion because nearly half of the vehicles it sells in the U.S. are manufactured in overseas assembly plants. In April, GM&#8217;s CEO also had to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/45065788/general-motors-margins-weaken-amid-tariff-uncertainty-ceo-barra-delays-conference-call-on-guidance-uncertainty">delay </a>an earnings call due to weakening margins amid tariff uncertainty.
That being said, GM&#8217;s EV sales have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45581386/gm-ev-sales-surge-in-the-us-amid-5-billion-blow-from-donald-trumps-automotive-tariffs">surged </a>in the U.S. despite these tariffs. The company accounted for over 14.4% of all new EVs sold in the U.S. in April 2025.
Notably, the auto giant has shown commitment to its traditional combustion engine vehicles, with a recent&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45640639/general-motors-to-invest-888-million-in-ny-v-8-engine-plant-despite-surge-in-ev-market-share">$888 million investment</a>&nbsp;in its Tonawanda Propulsion facility, where it manufactures V-8 engines.

General Motors CEO Backs Trump's Auto Tariffs As A Tool To 'Level The Playing Field'—'They've Taken The Time To Understand Our Industry'

General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) will invest $888 million in its Tonawanda Propulsion facility, where the company manufactures V-8 engines that power its SUVs and Full-Size Trucks.
What Happened: The investment follows the company's plans to provide support for the production of its sixth-generation V-8 engines, an official statement released by GM said on Tuesday.
The investment marks the "single largest investment" by GM in an investment plant, the statement said. The investment involves improvements to the plant with new equipment, facility renovations, new machinery and new tools.
"Our significant investments in GM's Tonawanda Propulsion plant show our commitment to strengthening American manufacturing and supporting jobs in the U.S," company CEO Mary Barra said in the statement.
The plant will continue to produce the fifth-generation engines until the sixth-generation V-8 production begins in 2027 at the Buffalo, New York, facility, the statement said.
Why It Matters: The investment comes at a time when GM EVs are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45581386/gm-ev-sales-surge-in-the-us-amid-5-billion-blow-from-donald-trumps-automotive-tariffs">experiencing a surge in sales</a> in the U.S. BEVs (Battery Electric Vehicles) produced by the company accounted for over 14.4% of all EVs sold in the country in April.
GM is also steadily gaining on Elon Musk's Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), which remains the EV market leader in the U.S., as more former Tesla owners <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45582014/more-tesla-owners-are-switching-to-cadillac-evs-as-elon-musks-ev-giant-faces-turbulent-times">are switching to</a> Cadillac EVs.
Elsewhere, General Motors is pushing for California to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45488137/general-motors-wants-to-overturn-californias-aggressive-ev-mandate-as-demand-slows-in-the-us-report">revert its EV Mandate</a>, which aims to phase out ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) powered vehicles by 2035.
Price Action: GM currently trades for $49.09 at market close, according to<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard"> Benzinga Pro data</a>.

General Motors To Invest $888 Million In NY V-8 Engine Plant Despite Surge In EV Market Share

Stellantis NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>), the parent company of brands like Dodge and Jeep, has appointed Antonio Filosa as the new chief executive officer.
What Happened: Filosa, who currently serves as the COO of the Americas, as well as the Chief Quality Officer, will step in as the new CEO from June 23, 2025, the company shared in an official statement on Wednesday.
Filosa is a 25-year veteran at Stellantis and has served in various key positions for the company in the past, including a stint as the CEO of Jeep as well as the COO of Stellantis in South America. Filosa, once assuming the CEO chair, would also announce the new Stellantis leadership team, the statement said.
"Antonio's deep understanding of our Company, including its people who he views as our core strength, and of our industry equip him perfectly for the role of Chief Executive Officer in this next and crucial phase of Stellantis' development," Stellantis Executive Chairman John Elkann said in the statement.
Why It Matters: Filosa's ascension to the CEO position comes in as Stellantis is facing the threat of U.S. President Donald Trump's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45585283/trump-tariff-threat-hits-europe-stocks-sink-as-50-duties-loom">tariffs on the EU</a>. Trump's threats led to Stellantis<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45589460/stellantis-stla-shares-slide-on-trump-tariff-threat-against-eu-imports"> stock falling 3.6%</a>. The tariffs could impact Stellantis&#8217; competitiveness in the U.S. automotive industry.
Stellantis had earlier announced plans to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45133236/chrysler-jeep-owner-stellantis-to-move-some-auto-production-into-the-us-to-avoid-tariffs">move some production</a> away from Mexico to Michigan to offset the uncertainty posed by the automotive tariffs from the Trump regime. The company had also pulled its earnings guidance for 2025.
Stellantis, along with General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) and Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>), had also criticized Trump's<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45314561/trumps-uk-trade-deal-draws-criticism-from-ford-gm-stellantis-this-hurts-american-automakers-suppliers-and-auto-workers"> UK trade agreement</a>, citing concerns over the deal's impact on the U.S. auto industry.
Price Action: STLA currently trades for $10.48 on the NYSE, according to<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard"> Benzinga Pro data</a>.

10 Consumer Discretionary Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

General Motors Co.'s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) luxury subsidiary, Cadillac, is experiencing increased adoption of its EVs among Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) owners.
What Happened: Cadillac says that 75% of the customers buying Cadillacs are switching over from other manufacturers, with 10% of those being Tesla owners, Business Insider reported <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-owners-switching-to-cadillac-lyriq-ev-2025-5">on</a> Thursday.
An executive cited in the report suggested that Cadillac's maiden EV model, Lyriq, has a conquest rate of 80%, with 25% of the owners switching over from Tesla. Cadillac saw a 21% increase in retail sales and a 37% jump in EV sales for Q1 2025.
Interestingly, data from CNCDA, or California New Car Dealers Association, showcased the luxury automaker experiencing a 60.9% YoY increase in sales in California.
Why It Matters: Cadillac's surge coincides with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/44857987/tesla-experiences-151-decline-in-new-vehicle-registrations-in-california-report">decline in sales</a> for Elon Musk's EV giant in multiple markets, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45220631/tesla-new-car-sales-hit-2-year-low-in-uk-germany-as-european-woes-continue">including Europe</a>. However, the company still boasts a healthy lead over its rivals in sales, holding over 43% of the U.S. domestic EV market share.
Musk's company has been on the receiving end of criticism for Musk's continued endorsement of right-wing political ideals as well as his close association with the Trump administration and DOGE. His views have led to Tesla being on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44394560/elon-musks-tesla-targeted-with-arson-attacks-in-las-vegas-kansas-city-report">receiving end of vandalism</a>.
The surge also comes in as Tesla is gearing up for the Robotaxi launch next month in Austin, which Musk says could have over<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45529030/elon-musk-confirms-tesla-robotaxi-launch-is-on-track-for-next-month-these-things-happen-slowly-but-then-all-at-once"> 1,000 autonomous vehicles </a>on the road in the coming months.

More Tesla Owners Are Switching To Cadillac EVs As Elon Musk's EV Giant Faces Turbulent Times

General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) is steadily gaining on Tesla Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) lead in the U.S. domestic EV market, despite the Trump administration's automotive tariffs.
What Happened: GM accounted for over 14.4% of all new EVs sold in the U.S. in April 2025, data released by Cox Automotive <a href="https://www.coxautoinc.com/market-insights/ev-market-monitor-april-2025/">on</a> Wednesday shows. The Detroit-based automaker is currently the second-largest EV manufacturer by units sold through Chevrolet, GMC, and Cadillac after it surpassed Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>).
Amid GM's sales growth, Elon Musk's Tesla still claimed the top spot in April with sales climbing 3.7%, driven by the Model Y, which sold 25,321 units, the report suggested. However, its market share remained below 50%.
Why It Matters: The data comes in as EV sales have experienced a decline in the U.S. The automaker has reportedly pushed back against<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45488137/general-motors-wants-to-overturn-californias-aggressive-ev-mandate-as-demand-slows-in-the-us-report"> California's EV policy</a>, which aims to phase out ICE vehicles by 2035.
"Emissions standards that are not aligned with market realities pose a serious threat to our business by undermining consumer choice and vehicle affordability," GM said in an email sent out to employees.
The automaker also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/guidance/25/05/45133096/this-is-how-much-it-will-cost-general-motors-from-trumps-tariff-policy">pulled its earnings guidance </a>for 2025, citing uncertainties posed by U.S. President Donald Trump's automotive tariffs. Elsewhere in the EV sector, GM's fellow Detroit-based automaker, Ford, has reportedly decided to split its flagship Kentucky battery manufacturing facility with Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. (OTCPK: NSANY).
Price Action: GM currently trades for $49.66 in after-hours trading, according to<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard"> Benzinga Pro data</a>.

<h2>About General Motors</h2>
General Motors Co. emerged from the bankruptcy of General Motors Corp. (old GM) in July 2009. GM has eight brands and operates under three segments: GM North America, GM International, and GM Financial. The United States now has four brands instead of eight under old GM. The company regained its US market share leadership in 2022, after losing it to Toyota due to the chip shortage in 2021. 2024's share was 17.0%. The Cruise autonomous vehicle arm, which GM now owns outright, previously operated driverless geofenced AV robotaxi services in San Francisco and other cities, but after a 2023 accident, GM decided that it will focus on personal AVs. GM Financial became the company's captive finance arm in 2010 via the purchase of AmeriCredit.

<h2>The Core of Analyst Ratings: What Every Investor Should Know</h2>
Benzinga tracks 150 analyst firms and reports on their stock expectations. Analysts typically arrive at their conclusions by predicting how much money a company will make in the future, usually the upcoming five years, and how risky or predictable that company's revenue streams are.
Analysts attend company conference calls and meetings, research company financial statements, and communicate with insiders to publish their ratings on stocks. Analysts typically rate each stock once per quarter or whenever the company has a major update.
Analysts may supplement their ratings with predictions for metrics like growth estimates, earnings, and revenue, offering investors a more comprehensive outlook. However, investors should be mindful that analysts, like any human, can have subjective perspectives influencing their forecasts.

Breaking Down General Motors: 15 Analysts Share Their Views

General Motors's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) short percent of float has fallen 5.73% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 22.41 million shares sold short, which is 2.63% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.89 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>General Motors Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1747933221_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for General Motors has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing General Motors's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, General Motors's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 10.07%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>
