General Electric Fiscal Q3 2025
General Motors (GM) delivered stronger-than-expected financial results for the third quarter. The company reported adjusted earnings of $2.80 per share, well above forecast of $2.32. Revenue reached $48.59 billion, exceeding expectations despite being slightly lower than the $48.76 billion posted in the same quarter last year.
Despite the upbeat headline numbers, GM faced some internal challenges. Its EBIT-adjusted (earnings before interest and taxes) dropped 18% year-over-year to $3.38 billion, with profit margins narrowing to 6.9% from 8.4%.
These declines were partly due to $1.59 billion in charges related to GM’s strategic shift in its electric vehicle (EV) plans, and an additional $300 million tied to investigations into its OnStar Smart Driver product.
Meanwhile, GM Financial, the company’s financing arm, posted a strong performance with earnings before taxes rising 17% to $804 million.
Guidance and Outlook
In response to the solid performance, GM raised its full-year profit outlook. The new guidance for adjusted earnings per share is between $9.75 and $10.50, up from the previous range of $8.25 to $10.00.
The company also increased its forecast for adjusted automotive free cash flow to $10.0–$11.0 billion, compared to the earlier estimate of $7.5–$10.0 billion.
Board Statements
CEO Mary Barra emphasized that GM is staying committed to its goals while adjusting its EV strategy to better align with consumer demand.
Impact on the Market
GM shares jumped more than 10% after the company reported stronger-than-expected third-quarter earnings. The solid results, especially the earnings beat and raised profit outlook, boosted investor confidence despite ongoing challenges in the electric vehicle segment.
