BUY

The stock plunged 9% today, so is business bad? Demand for cars and the chips in them is well in excess of supply. GM stock represents value. But the stock weakness tell you nothing. You must know that there's a shortage of chips which is bottlenecking cars.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 15/20, Up 70.9%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with GM has triggered its stop at $55. We recommend covering the balance of the position at this time. Combined with the previous recommendation to cover 50% of the position, this results in a net investment return over 48%.

BUY

Be patient. Long-term timeframe, not daily or weekly moves. Let a good idea flourish. Changing dramatically through electrification. Producing cash at an amazing rate, and this will continue. Autonomous driving is the cherry on top. Cheap multiple. Lots of room to run. Better operator than Ford.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 15/20, Up 82.9%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with GM is progressing well. We now recommend trailing up the stop (from $50.50) to $55.00. If triggered, this would all but guarantee a net investment return of 48%, when considering our previous recommendation to cover 50% of the holding.

SELL

Issue of the two competing divisions of combustion engines vs. EVs. Will have to deal with a lot of legacy assets. More dedicated to EVs than other car companies. There are better opportunities with better cashflow dynamics.

TOP PICK

He bought this 6 months because they're re-emerging from a staid, dull company and moving into e-cars. They'll commit $27 billion to e-cars through 2025. They will break even on a 10-million unit year; they've really controlled costs. The semiconductor shortage won't last and will end later this year. GM is a great stock for years to come. (Analysts’ price target is $70.00)

BUY

Analyst Larry Williams's strategy for the Memorial Day trade: buy the day before Memorial Day and sell shares 10-15 days later. The average gain is 2% under this strategy. Also works as a long-term investment.

BUY

It reported better numbers today than Ford (which he likes). He admires their CEO and likes their line up of cars, trucks and SUVs, plus a fine battery technology. The CEO shareholder letter was very thoughtful. They're firing on all cylinders, from China, US to their finance business. The stock jumped 4% on earnings.

PARTIAL BUY

We'll see Wednesday when they report how the semis shortage has effected them, though the stock already reflects that. Earlier this week, Ford reported a brutal report, because of the chip shortage. He thinks GM is in a better shape than Ford when it comes to chips. This may be worth buying before that report. Long-term, this is good.

BUY

This and GM are heavily moving towards e-cars. GM is bigger than Ford and more cost-efficient with far better operating margins. Long-term, GM will offer better products. Ford has been relying on the F-150, while GM has just surpassed them in total truck sales. He likes that GM is the majority owner of the Cruise self-driving business, partnering with Microsoft (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-gm-microsoft-autonomous-idUSKBN29O1MO). Ford isn't a bad option, but GM is the best.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 15/20, Up 91%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with GM is progressing well. We recommend trailing up the stop (from $32.50) to $50.50. This would all but guarantee a minimum return on investment of 41%, including the previous recommendation to cover 50% of the position.

DON'T BUY

The car business, though trading at low PEs, is in a difficult situation, given legacy issues. Tesla is a tech company, by contrast. Traditional car companies are stuck between traditional gas cars vs. emerging e-cars, which haven't yet taken off. Dealers make money in servicing cars (selling cars offer small margins), but e-cars require fewer parts therefore less servicing.

BUY

Bought into it a couple months ago. GM has refreshed and the company is on the cutting edge of electrification. Spending $27B on the program. 40% of offering will be electrified cars in the future. Can break even on an industry sell-through of 10M vehicles. Market share is 18%-19%. Very interesting company that is not too expensive at 5.5x to EBITDA.

TOP PICK

Will migrate to EV. Production experience. Good valuation. Great way to play growth in the sector. Stock's gone up, so might be at the high end of the target range. No dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $64.47)

BUY

EVs were a red-hot sector just recently. For example, Tesla has tumbled from last year's highs. He still believes in Tesla, but take note. EVs are the future of the car industry. EV names with much less risk: Ford and GM. Yes, they are exposed to EV more than you expect. They are established companies with rising earnings and solid balance sheets. Sales of their gas-powered engined car remain, sure, but they maintain these companies. GM plans to make 30 EVs in just a few years. 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.
