General Motors (GM) closed at $81.76, just 1.5% shy of its 52-week high, reflecting a 70% increase over the past six months. This strong performance contrasts with Ford’s shares, which rose approximately 30%, and Tesla’s 52% gain in the same timeframe. GM has sold 144,668 electric vehicles (EVs) in the first nine months of 2025, marking a 105% increase year-over-year, establishing itself as the second-largest EV seller in the U.S.
In addition to impressive sales figures, GM has streamlined its operations in China, leading to a 10% year-over-year increase in Q3 vehicle sales, and its market share there has expanded to 6.8%. Its automotive liquidity position is strong, with $35.7 billion available, supported by aggressive share buybacks totaling over $3.5 billion year-to-date. GM’s strategic focus on software and services has also resulted in nearly $2 billion in revenues this year from initiatives like Super Cruise and OnStar, with expectations of continued growth.
As of now, GM trades at a forward earnings multiple of 7, significantly lower than Ford’s 9.73 and Tesla’s 265.57, suggesting a potentially attractive investment opportunity. The company’s Zacks Rank stands at #1 (Strong Buy), reinforcing its positive earnings momentum and strong market positioning.
