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.

10 Consumer Discretionary Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

President Donald Trump&#8216;s 25% tariffs on auto imports have sent shockwaves through the integrated North American automotive supply chain, prompting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44630499/trump-auto-tariffs-could-up-car-prices-by-15k-analyst-calls-it-pure-chaos">divergent responses from major manufacturers</a> as United Auto Workers leadership criticizes job cuts.
What Happened: Stellantis NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>) announced Thursday it will temporarily lay off 900 workers at five U.S. facilities and pause production at assembly plants in Mexico and Canada. The affected U.S. sites include Warren Stamping, Sterling Stamping, Indiana Transmission Plant, Kokomo Transmission Plant, and Kokomo Casting Plant.
&#8220;We&#8217;re continuing to assess the medium- and long-term effects of these tariffs on our operations, but also have decided to take some immediate actions,&#8221; Antonio Filosa, Stellantis&#8217; chief operating officer for the Americas, wrote in a letter to employees.
In contrast, General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) plans to increase light-duty truck production at its Fort Wayne, Indiana, assembly plant, according to a company webcast viewed by Reuters. The expansion will add 225-250 jobs at the facility, which manufactures Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks.
UAW President Shawn Fain criticized Stellantis&#8217; decision, calling the layoffs &#8220;completely unnecessary&#8221; and arguing the company has &#8220;the money, the capacity, the product, and the workforce to employ thousands more UAW members.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Trump&#8217;s tariffs, which also include a 10% baseline on all imports, have sent automaker stocks tumbling. Stellantis shares fell 9.41% in New York trading on Thursday, while GM lost 4.34%.
Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) responded to the tariffs by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44641009/ford-launches-from-america-for-america-discount-program-as-tariffs-threaten-vehicle-price-surge">extending employee pricing to all customers</a> through Jun. 2, a promotion the company described as helping Americans navigate &#8220;uncertain times.&#8221;
Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives called the situation a &#8220;tariff torpedo&#8221; and &#8220;pure chaos&#8221; for the industry, estimating potential price increases of $5,000-$10,000 per vehicle, with luxury models <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44630499/trump-auto-tariffs-could-up-car-prices-by-15k-analyst-calls-it-pure-chaos">seeing hikes up to $15,000</a>.
White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt defended the tariffs <a href="https://www.newsnationnow.com/politics/karoline-leavitt-trump-tariffs-deportations/">on</a> NewsNation, saying, &#8220;They can expect their wages to go up&#8230; There&#8217;s not going to be any pain for American-owned companies and American workers because their jobs are going to come back home.&#8221;

Reuters Earlier Reported 'GM To Increase Truck Production In Indiana Following Trump's Tariffs'

Shares of auto-related stocks are trading lower as markets react to President Trump's announcement of sweeping tariffs.

Ford Motor Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) has experienced significant fluctuations in its share price related to tariff announcements in recent months. Ford shares are falling again Thursday as auto tariffs <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44509009/over-7-million-vehicles-could-face-the-brunt-of-trumps-auto-tariffs-this-could-drive-the-auto-industry-into-recession">go into effect</a>.
A Look Back: In February, President Donald Trump imposed a 25% tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico and a 10% tariff <a href="https://www.spglobal.com/automotive-insights/en/rapid-impact-analysis/us-auto-tariffs-disruption-hits-north-american-industry?utm_source=chatgpt.com">on Chinese goods.</a> The tariffs on Canada and Mexico were temporarily reversed following negotiations.
By early March, the Trump administration signaled that the 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico would be reinstated, and Chinese imports would face an additional 10% tariff. 
After discussions with executives from Ford, General Motors Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) and Stellantis N.V. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>), Trump allowed for a temporary exemption for United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA)-compliant goods.
What&#8217;s Going On: A 25% tariff on all imported vehicles and key parts went into effect on Thursday. Vehicles compliant with the USMCA are only subject to tariffs on <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2025/03/31/when-auto-tariffs-trump-2025/82739633007/">foreign-sourced parts</a> used in manufacturing. At the same time, Trump has introduced a broad set of reciprocal tariffs targeting several countries.
Ford's stock has faced significant volatility in recent months, with investors struggling to predict the Trump administration's next moves. The recent implementation of tariffs is expected to raise costs for Ford, which could squeeze profit margins and potentially lead to higher prices for consumers.

Ford Stock Falls As Auto Tariffs Take Effect: What's Going On?

<a href="https://investor.gm.com/news-releases/news-release-details/gm-reports-strong-q1-china-growth-evs-and-hybrids" title="https://investor.gm.com/news-releases/news-release-details/gm-reports-strong-q1-china-growth-evs-and-hybrids">https://investor.gm.com/news-releases/news-release-details/gm-reports-strong-q1-china-growth-evs-and-hybrids</a>

General Motors And Its Joint Ventures Announces It Delivered More Than 442,000 Units In China In Q1 2025

The U.S. auto industry just took a direct hit from what Wedbush analyst Dan Ives calls <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">a "tariff torpedo."</a> 
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">President Donald Trump</a>'s sweeping 25% tariffs on imported cars and auto parts threaten to send vehicle prices soaring and disrupt supply chains for years to come.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Black Swan Event For Automakers</h2>
Tariffs present a "debacle of epic proportions," Ives says. Expect demand destruction of 15% to 20% for new car purchases in 2025.
According to his estimates, the tariffs will immediately raise the price of a typical vehicle by $5,000 to $10,000, with some higher-end models seeing increases of up to $15,000.
Ferrari NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RACE#NYSE">RACE</a>) has already signaled price hikes after April 1. Ives warns that "every automaker in the world will have to raise prices in some form" as the industry scrambles to absorb the shock.
Even U.S. manufacturers, who produce cars domestically, still rely on 40%-50% of parts sourced from abroad. The idea of an all-American-made car, Ives argues, is "a fairy tale fictional narrative."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Supply Chain Nightmare</h2>
With global automakers locked into supplier contracts years in advance, the ripple effects of the tariffs could be catastrophic. 
"The rules of the U.S. tariff game are untenable," Ives says. Shifting just 10% of the supply chain to the U.S. would take at least three years and cost hundreds of billions of dollars.
The impact? &#8220;Pure chaos" across the industry, with costs expected to balloon by $100 billion annually and get passed directly onto consumers.
Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), often seen as an exception due to its U.S.-based production, isn't immune either. Despite its domestic footprint, Ives warns that even Elon Musk's EV giant "will be forced to raise prices" under the new tariff regime.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">No Winners In This Trade War</h2>
"This 25% auto tariff number is hard to digest," Ives laments, predicting continued downward pressure on General Motors Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>), Ford Motor Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>), and global auto suppliers unless negotiations soften the blow. "The winner in our view from this tariff is NO ONE."
As automakers and consumers brace for impact, the industry finds itself in "pure panic mode," facing a stark reality: higher prices, shrinking demand, and what Ives describes as nothing short of "Armageddon" for the global auto market.

What's Going On With General Motors Stock Today?

The 25% tariff on imported cars and parts could wipe out up to 3 million vehicle sales, slash automaker profits in half and throw the U.S. auto supply chain into chaos as manufacturers scramble to reconfigure operations in a high-stakes race against time, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/expert-ideas">according to Bank of America</a>. 
In a note shared Wednesday, research analyst John P. Babcock said President Donald Trump&#8217;s new trade action announced on March 26 would trigger significant demand destruction, higher consumer prices, and a severe blow to profitability, especially if additional parts tariffs are confirmed in May.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How Bad Could It Get For US Auto Sales?</h3>
The proposed tariffs—taking effect April 3—apply to all imported cars, light trucks and several critical components, including engines, transmissions, and electrical systems. According to Babcock, the industry response will be higher vehicle prices across the board.
If manufacturers pass along the full 25% tariff to consumers, BofA estimates a sales loss of 3.2 million units at the current trend rate of 16 million vehicles annually — a 20% collapse. A more conservative case, with only 15% of costs passed through, still implies a demand drop of 2.5 million units, or about 15%.
"Affordability has already been a challenge," Babcock said. "This only exacerbates the situation."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Can Automakers Reshore Production?</h3>
There may be limited relief for automakers with idle U.S. plant capacity. 
Bank of America estimates that more than a million vehicle assembly units could be reshored to U.S. factories with minor investments and hiring. General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) and Stellantis NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>) are best positioned for this pivot.
Yet, labor constraints, weak demand for some U.S.-built models and the logistical complexities of scaling production rapidly remain obstacles. 
Over a longer horizon, most automakers could bring production stateside, yet that would require "large capital investments" and likely further tilt the product mix toward higher-end vehicles, leaving a gap in affordable options.
Chinese automakers such as BYD Co. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>), Geely, and Xiaomi could potentially fill that gap if they establish U.S. manufacturing.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What's The Real Cost Of Parts Tariffs?</h3>
While full vehicle reshoring is challenging, the real pain may come from the auto parts tariffs. A final decision is expected by May 3.
Babcock outlined three scenarios: targeted tariffs on powertrain and electronics, blanket tariffs on all auto parts, or a hybrid combination.
If all parts are hit with the 25% tariff, the cost per U.S.-assembled vehicle jumps by $3,285, including $1,065 for powertrain parts, $840 for electronics, and $1,380 for other components.
That alone translates to an average price increase of 8%+, which could either be passed on to consumers or absorbed in profit margins.
In total, the industry faces a $26 billion hit under this scenario, equivalent to "halving all automaker profits in the U.S.," Babcock said.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Reshoring Auto Parts? Not Likely</h3>
While some optimism exists around reshoring vehicle assembly, the parts side tells a different story.
According to Babcock, reshoring auto parts manufacturing is "essentially impossible" due to high U.S. labor costs and a lack of skilled workers.
Unlike vehicle plants that may have idle capacity, parts suppliers have little to no slack in the U.S. system, leaving supply chains exposed and North American production vulnerable to disruptions.
Tariffs on powertrain components may offer a narrow path to incentivize domestic production, but anything broader risks major breakdowns in vehicle manufacturing continuity.

Trump's Auto Tariffs Could Crush Demand, Blow $26 Billion Hole In Industry Profits

Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) found itself on the wrong side of a historic surge in U.S. auto sales last month, with March vehicle sales slipping 8% year-over-year despite a broader industry boom.
According to JPMorgan analyst Ryan Brinkman, U.S. light vehicle sales soared 14% as buyers rushed to dealerships ahead of steep new 25% tariffs on auto imports. This buying frenzy pushed the seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR) to an impressive 17.8 million &#8211; the highest since April 2021.
But for Tesla, it was anything but a victory lap.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">EV Demand Softens As Tesla Loses Ground</h2>
While overall battery electric vehicle (BEV) penetration declined sequentially from 7.8% in February to 7.0% in March, Tesla's grip on the EV market weakened further. Brinkman notes that Tesla's U.S. BEV market share slid to 40.1% in March, a sharp drop from 44.9% in February and a significant decline from 50.7% a year ago. This contraction, as highlighted by Brinkman, underscores growing competitive pressure as legacy automakers and newer entrants chip away at Tesla's dominance.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pricing Pressures, Shifting Landscape</h2>
Tesla's decline comes as industry-wide vehicle prices remain resilient, even in the face of new tariffs. Brinkman points out that the average transaction price (ATP) for new vehicles hit $44,849 in March, up 1.4% year-over-year. Automakers largely held firm on pricing, leveraging the late-month demand surge to limit discounting. 
However, with tariffs expected to drive up costs across the board, Brinkman suggests that Tesla may have less flexibility to compete aggressively on price—especially as rivals ramp up production and expand their EV offerings.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Road Ahead</h2>
With tariffs set to push vehicle prices higher and overall auto sales projected to decline later in 2024, Tesla faces an increasingly challenging market. Brinkman emphasizes that while the company has historically relied on price cuts to stimulate demand, its effectiveness in maintaining market share is waning. 
Meanwhile, competitors like General Motors Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) and Hyundai Motor Company (OTCPK: HYMTF) /Kia gained market share in March, highlighting a shifting competitive dynamic in the EV space.
As the industry braces for the full impact of tariffs, Brinkman believes Tesla's ability to navigate these headwinds will be critical in determining its trajectory in the months ahead.
