GM beats Wall Street estimates, forecasts another year of strong earnings in 2025

General Motors exceeded Wall Street expectations for Q4, reporting strong results and forecasting continued success in 2025, despite challenges like slowing industry sales, a restructuring in China, and regulatory uncertainties.

Shares fell about 7% following the results, as analysts expressed concerns about the auto industry’s future under the Trump administration.

GM’s 2025 guidance includes a projected net income of $11.2 billion to $12.5 billion and adjusted earnings of $13.7 billion to $15.7 billion, CNBC has reported.

While GM’s 2024 results set records, its net income dropped 40.7% from 2023, impacted by special charges and losses in China and its Cruise robotaxi business.
