General Motors Co's stock rose by 3.00%, reaching a 52-week high amid a mixed market backdrop, with the Nasdaq-100 down 0.68% and the S&P 500 virtually unchanged.
This increase is attributed to GM's reported 5.5% increase in U.S. sales for 2025, significantly outperforming the broader market forecast of 2% growth. The strong sales performance, particularly in electric vehicles and large SUVs, highlights GM's competitive edge in a challenging automotive market, suggesting a positive outlook for the company.
The implications of this sales growth are significant, as it not only reflects GM's ability to capture market share but also indicates a potential recovery in consumer demand within the automotive sector, which may encourage further investments and innovations in electric vehicle technology.

UBS raised the firm's price target on General Motors to $102 from $97 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. GM's updated 2026 outlook points to higher EPS, with larger revisions expected in 2027 due to reduced one-time '26 costs and higher volumes of profitable trucks, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The company's outlook suggests GMNA margins could reach 8%-10% in 2026 and remain solidly in that range in 2027, supported by buybacks and strong cash generation, the firm says.
