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.

Have done quite well on their North American operations and will be having a new truck line coming up in a couple of years but Europe is the big problem for all North American OEMs. No one is making money over there and it is very difficult to restructure. Also, Japanese manufacturers are coming back into the market and taking share that they lost last year.
Benefits from the bankruptcy. Breakeven level is much lower than it used to be. They are now very, very profitable. They carried over tax shields from before bankruptcy.
