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.
It's all about tariffs. Despite tariffs, GM's chart shows there is an escape hatch in the tariff war and GM will come out of it well. Valuation is a very cheap 6.8x enterprise value to EBITDA. Is a cash flow machine, with 20% of market cap is in buyback share mode. They recently increased their dividend. Are well managed. Best of breed. GM has done a nice pivot into EVs, though EV consumer adoption has slowed down, but will come back.
(Analysts’ price target is $62.48)Ford and GM have some of the lowest PEs around (7.3x and 4.3x) vs. the 22x S&P average. Ford pays a 6.2% dividend yield, while GM has a huge buyback plan. Incredibly cheap--until the tariffs started. Remember: the car-makers were a huge reason why Trump used tariffs in his first term which lead to the USMCA trade deal. But now Trump wants to take away the qualities that made US cars competitive and affordable. Today, the car-makers got a one-month reprieve from Trump's tariffs and shares jumped. But if the car-makers wind up paying these tariffs, are we okay with the U.S. replacing cheap Mexican labour with expensive U.S. union labour? That's why these stocks are so cheap--their earnings are in grave danger. Value traps. A 25% tariff on Mexican imports is a subsidy for foreign car companies like Kia.
They report Tuesday. With tariffs, nobody knows how much they will inflate the price of cars. Listen for their call.
