General Motors Corporation (GM) has continued to demonstrate resilience in a volatile auto industry, benefitting from strong market share in the EV segment, trailing only behind Tesla. The company has successfully navigated headwinds such as tariffs and has adapted its business plan, focusing less on EVs for the time being while maintaining solid cash flow. Analysts are optimistic about GM's growth prospects, with expectations of compound earnings growth of 13% over the next three years and an anticipated EPS of around $12 for this year. The stock is currently trading at a low PE ratio, suggesting it is undervalued, while also showing signs of technical improvement with higher highs and lows. Despite the uncertainties posed by macroeconomic factors, the overall sentiment remains positive, indicating that GM is poised for a potential upward trajectory.

Only Volkswagon comes close with their plans (with a weaker track record). GM is also investing heavily to produce better batteries for EVs. GM's CEO deserves a lot of credit for turning around the company. GM has had a huge run recently, but its valuation is still reasonable around 9x next year's earnings.
Ford announced today that it's slowing production because of a shortage of computer chips. If GM says the same thing, maybe it won't be punished as much. GM reports Wednesday--he expects an explosion in free cash flow and a commitment to ending the internal combustion engine this decade. The CEO has created a battery technology that's worth the entire company.
