Hi Sue,
GM has enjoyed a stellar rally through 2024 but on 5.1x its still cheap compared to recent history. GM stock enjoyed its best day since 2020 after the automaker topped analysts 3rd quarter expectations on the 22nd and raised guidance:
- Earnings per share: $2.96 adjusted vs. $2.43 expected.
- Revenue: $48.76 billion vs. $44.59 billion expected.
This is the 3rd time this year that GM has updated guidance and although its rallied hard the advance looks well justified to us. Also GM CFO Paul Jacobson reassured Wall Street that the company would continue returning cash to shareholders in the form of stock buybacks, it all sounds positive, plus it’s EV sales are surging while Ford losses billions in the rapidly evolving space.
