General Motors Company демонстрирует смешанную фундаментальную картину. С одной стороны, компания имеет высокие показатели по EPS и EPS forecast, что свидетельствует о её способности генерировать прибыль. Однако, многие мультипликаторы, такие как P/E, P/B и P/S, находятся значительно ниже медианных значений по отрасли, что может указывать на недооцененность. Это также подтверждается высоким уровнем чистой прибыли и активов. С другой стороны, долговая нагрузка является значительной, с debt-equity ratio, превышающим медиану отрасли, что создает риски для финансовой устойчивости компании. Операционные и чистые маржи находятся ниже медианных значений, что сигнализирует о проблемах с эффективностью. Дивиденды не выплачиваются, что может негативно сказаться на привлечении инвесторов. В целом, несмотря на сильные показатели по прибыли, долги и низкие маржи указывают на необходимость осторожности при оценке инвестиционной привлекательности компании.

General Motors Company

Key Points
Detroit automakers have traded completely differently since 2024, potentially offering opportunity.
Carvana is expanding its sales strategy from online to a hybrid model.
Carvana gets many benefits from buying Stellantis dealerships, but the latter becoming more relevant in market share would help.
Since 2024, Stellantis (NYSE: STLA), Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F), and General Motors (NYSE: GM) have traded completely separately despite their business similarities. General Motors has more than doubled in share price, while Ford has remained in neutral with a 2% decline over that timeframe, and Stellantis tumbled 70% lower. Sometimes, when opportunity knocks, investors should answer the door -- and sometimes the door is best left closed.
One big name, Carvana (NYSE: CVNA), seems to be betting on a Stellantis turnaround and is scooping up dealerships, but should investors follow?

Evolution of sales
Carvana is no stranger to growth after the company pumped major capital into its early expansion plans. Although Carvana has its notable and unique car vending machines, the used-car retailer primarily did business online. That's changing as the company evolves. Carvana scooped up yet another Stellantis dealership last week in its evolution to a hybrid sales model of online and in-person.
When investors scratch the surface, it seems like a fine strategy. While people adapted to the online vehicle sales method, and some even preferred it, Carvana knew there were still consumers only reachable through in-person visits. Buying dealerships not only reaches these consumers, it opens doors to new-vehicle sales, which come with higher margins.
These dealership locations also expand the company's distribution network with these six largely U.S. Southwestern stores. Previously, Carvana's network was heavier on the U.S. East Coast. It also secures Carvana a valuable pipeline of trade-in and off-lease vehicles, which it can then refurbish, certify, and resell.
Carvana could have scooped up dealerships of any automaker or brand, for the most part, which signals that it's betting on Stellantis to have a turnaround and become more relevant again. But should investors make a similar investment?
Not so fast
Before investors are quick to jump aboard a potential Stellantis turnaround, it's wise to glance at a number of challenges facing the company.
First, it should be noted that Stellantis is coming with some financial struggles. One example is the automaker's recent roughly $26 billion charge late in 2025 for a major electric vehicle (EV) strategy adjustment. That had ripple effects on the company, including a massive drop in stock price and a suspended dividend. In fact, for context, that massive charge is larger than the automaker's current market capitalization, which sits at roughly $20 billion.
Another challenge facing Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa is navigating through the company's large portfolio of 14 automotive brands. These include a Detroit heartbeat with Jeep, Ram, and Chrysler, and Italian flair with Fiat and Alfa Romeo -- though the latter two seem to lack global synergy. Stellantis'global marketshare has fallen from 8.1% in 2020 to roughly 6.1% in 2025, according to S&P Global Mobility, and some Stellantis brands require significant investment to revive sales.
One of Stellantis' largest challenges will be reviving its North American business core, where high prices, poor product mix, and neglected brands caused not only a sales collapse but turmoil between the automaker and its dealership network. The automaker is pumping a roughly $13 billion investment into the business to reintroduce more gasoline-powered and hybrid models to recapture share. But that could put it even further behind rivals in the evolution toward electric vehicles.
Carvana's strategy to scoop up Stellantis dealerships would work better if the automaker can turn its business around, but it's not absolutely necessary. For investors, Stellantis might be opportunity knocking, but it's not yet time to answer the door.

General Motors: A Strong Contender in the Evolving Auto Industry

A few years back, electric vehicles (EV) were one of the hottest themes in investing. Tesla’s success paved the way for many EV pure plays to go public, while legacy automakers committed billions of dollars to shift gears toward electric mobility. It was seen as the next big transformation in autos that would drive future revenue and earnings growth.
But the hype has faded. EVs have proved to be a costly transition, adoption has slowed, and things haven’t quite played out the way many had anticipated. In the United States, the EV market has struggled to hold momentum, partly due to weaker government support. The Trump administration rolled back incentives and regulations meant to boost EV sales. A key tax credit— worth up to $7,500 for qualifying EVs and plug-in hybrids— expired last September, removing an important demand driver. This has weakened the near-term case for EVs, even though they are still widely considered to be the future of transportation.
In response, many auto giants such as Ford F, General Motors GM and Stellantis STLA have reconsidered their EV strategies and taken write-off charges on related investments that no longer make business sense. The latest casualty is Honda HMC, which announced yesterday that it expects to take charges of up to $16 billion in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, as it pivots away from EVs.
Interestingly, Honda’s closest peer appears to have largely avoided this situation. That is the Japanese auto titan Toyota TM. The company did not go all in on EVs when the rest of the industry was aggressively investing in the technology, a decision that drew criticism at the time. But that cautious approach now seems to be paying off, as Toyota has not announced any EV write-downs so far.
Surprisingly though, the same automaker is now preparing to double down on EVs at a time when demand remains uncertain. Before discussing its strategy, let’s briefly look at how Ford, General Motors, Stellantis and Honda ended up taking write-offs on their EV bets.
$70B EV Reality Check for F, GM, STLA and HMC
Ford is moving away from its plans to manufacture large EVs. Instead of rolling out expensive, capital-heavy EVs into a reluctant market, Ford will now focus on profitable hybrids and internal combustion vehicles, while narrowing its EV efforts to smaller, lower-cost models. At the center of this shift is Ford’s new Universal EV Platform. Ford’s first vehicle built on the platform will be a midsize electric pickup. Notably, the company has even discontinued the fully electric version of its best-selling F-150 pickup. Ford announced $19.5 billion in EV-reset related charges.
General Motors also responded to slower-than-expected EV demand by selling its stake in the Ultium Cells Lansing plant and pivoting some assembly capacity from EVs back to internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. The company took $7.6 billion in charges in the second half of 2025 to reduce EV capacity.
Last month, Stellantis confirmed that it incurred around $25 billion in losses related to EV restructuring in the second half of 2025.Its RAM brand discontinued its planned all-electric pickup. The company is repositioning its North American strategy around conventional hybrids and extended-range electric vehicles (EREVs), which offer electric driving with longer range and reduce dependence on charging infrastructure.
Honda, as mentioned earlier, will be taking a massive hit of roughly $16 billion and is now projecting a full-year loss of 340-570 billion yen in fiscal 2026. It has canceled its highly anticipated 0 Series SUV and sedan just months before planned production, shifting its focus toward developing more competitive hybrid models while expanding its motorcycle business to strengthen profitability.
With that, the cumulative EV-restructuring losses for these four automakers come to roughly $70 billion.
Toyota Expands EV Push As Rivals Retreat
For years, Toyota prioritized hybrids over fully electric vehicles and was often viewed as one of the slowest legacy automakers to embrace BEV technology. Until the start of this year, the brand had only one EV offering in the U.S. market — the Toyota bZ.
That is now changing. Toyota is expanding its battery-electric lineup in the United States, with additions such as the Toyota Highlander EV, Toyota bZ Woodland and Toyota C???HR EV, per Autoblog. The new lineup spans multiple segments— from compact SUVs to more lifestyle-oriented crossovers— helping the company target a broader group of buyers.
Toyota views this expansion as a natural next step after the success of its hybrid strategy. Hybrid models have grown rapidly. That large base of hybrid customers could eventually become a pipeline of EV buyers.
The company is also trying to manage costs more efficiently. The company is also looking to control EV costs by leveraging its global operations and sourcing batteries from its new North Carolina plant. The Highlander EV will be Toyota’s first three-row electric SUV and also the first Toyota EV assembled in the United States.
At the same time, Toyota is rolling out updated EV models and offering pricing incentives to attract buyers now that the $7,500 federal EV tax credit is no longer available. With longer range, quicker charging and aggressive pricing, Toyota is betting its new EVs can appeal to mainstream buyers at a time when much of the industry is stepping back.
Last Word
In hindsight, Toyota’s reluctance to rush into EVs has saved it from the costly reset now facing several rivals. By holding back earlier, the company now appears to be in a better position to expand its EV push. Whether Toyota’s timing proves right remains to be seen, as EV demand is uneven and policy support uncertain. But if demand picks up again, that positioning could give Toyota an advantage as the next phase of the EV transition unfolds.

EV Write-Offs Rise, Yet One Auto Giant Is Doubling Down

Key Points
U.S. EV registrations declined for the first time in a decade last year.
Tesla's massive market share lead is slowly dwindling.
General Motors' Cadillac was a rare bright spot in gloomy December data.
Last year was a bit challenging for the U.S. electric vehicle (EV) industry. A combination of factors that include the expiration of federal tax credits, historically higher interest rates, higher prices, and lingering concerns of inadequate charging infrastructure were speed bumps for the industry. In fact, EV registrations fell in 2025 for the first time in a decade.
The big question is: Should investors bank on a quick rebound in sales to drive EV stocks higher?

December plunge
U.S. registration data serves as a proxy for sales, as a number of EV makers, including Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA), don't break out U.S. deliveries from global numbers, and some automakers dont reporton a monthly basis.
Last year, U.S. EV registrations declined for the first time in a decade, dipping just a slight 0.4% below the prior year but a mile behind the growth rates of 11% and 52% in 2024 and 2023, respectively. December registrations quickly spiraled 48% lower compared to the prior year, driven by the expiration of the $7,500 federal EV tax credit. The EV share of the U.S. light-vehicle market fell to 7.8% from the prior year.
There were some notable points in the data for investors, including primarily that Tesla still holds a massive market share lead, despite that share consistently dwindling. Tesla registered over 42,400 vehicles in December, with the next closest competing brands, Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F) and General Motors' (NYSE: GM) Cadillac, generating only 5,138 and 3,694 vehicles, respectively.
While Ford remained the No. 2 brand in December, its registrations plunged deeper than the industry's with a 61% decline, driven by the F-150 Lightning, as its production of the vehicle ended that same month. GM's Cadillac EVs posted a rare win with their monthly registrations jumping 12% higher and an even more impressive 73% for the full year 2025.
While the EV industry's challenging 2025 brought more attention to the topic, slowing demand began in 2024. Waning demand was driven by higher EV prices, which pushed many consumers toward hybrid options, and after early adopters joined the market, there were hurdles remaining for mainstream consumers, such as lingering charging infrastructure issues and range anxiety.
To rebound or not to rebound
That is the question. Investors might remember a similar EV share decline in November, when it dropped to 4.6%. These figures might actually give investors confidence for a rebound, because despite December's 48% plunge in registrations, EV market share for the month still edged higher from November to 5.3%.
Tom Libby, an analyst for S&P Global Mobility, suggested investors not expect a sharp rebound: "I think there's going to be a very, very gradual increase going forward," he said, according to Automotive News.
The good news is that charging infrastructure is still improving, and the price gap between gasoline-powered vehicles and EVs is narrowing. Those factors, along with automakers offering discounts and incentives to offset the expiring tax credits, should prevent more declines and support momentum going forward.
What it all means
Investors hoping that the fourth-quarter plunge in EV registrations could present an opportunity for rebounding EV stocks in the near term would be better off taking a step back to view the bigger picture. This is a mere speed bump on the path to EVs growing a significant market share globally over the next decade, but it may not be a quick rebound.
Rather than focusing on albeit large short-term declines in registrations or sales, focus on companies' ability to offset uncertain demand with fresh products and lower prices while supporting margins through material cost reductions and other means. That's the key to finding the next winning EV investment.

EV Investors Hoping for a Rebound Could Be Left Waiting

General Motors Company’s GM strong foundation and disciplined operating approach have significantly strengthened its financial performance in recent years. Over the past five years, the company’s average annual free cash flow (FCF) has increased from approximately $3 billion to $10 billion.
The consistent and robust cash generation has enabled GM to execute all phases of its capital allocation strategy, including investing in the business and its workforce, maintaining a strong balance sheet and returning capital to shareholders. It has allowed the company to increase its quarterly dividend by 20%. GM plans to pursue additional share repurchases.
At the same time, General Motors’ product portfolio has continued to improve, contributing to market share gains of 60 basis points in 2025 while maintaining some of the lowest incentive levels in the automotive industry. This disciplined strategy has been a major driver of the company’s nearly $25 billion in FCF generated over the past two years. During this period, the company invested more than $20 billion in capital projects to support growth in its core operations and advance key strategic priorities.
Looking ahead to 2026 and 2027, General Motors expects to continue this momentum by investing between $10 billion and $12 billion annually. Approximately $5 billion of this investment will be directed toward expanding U.S. manufacturing capacity for several of its highest-demand vehicles while helping the company reduce its exposure to tariffs. GM carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) at present. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 (Strong Buy) Rank stocks here.
How Other Automakers Are Utilizing Their Cash Flows
Ford Motor Company F generated $3.5 billion in FCF and ended 2025 with nearly $29 billion in cash and close to $50 billion in total liquidity. The legacy automaker continues to prioritize maintaining a strong balance sheet, which provides flexibility to invest in growth opportunities, such as Ford Energy, as well as software and physical services. These remain high-margin and high-growth domains for Ford. For 2026, Ford expects adjusted free cash flow between $5 billion and $6 billion, which is roughly $2 billion higher than in 2025.
Rivian Automotive, Inc. RIVN reported a decline in its cash balance to $3.5 billion at the end of 2025 from $5.3 billion in 2024, as the company continues to burn cash while pursuing long-term growth. Additionally, Rivian forecasts capex in the band of $1.95-$2.05 billion (up from $1.7 billion spent in 2025), primarily to complete R2 construction and tooling, begin vertical construction at its new Georgia plant and expand its sales, service and charging network. While these efforts bode well for long-term prospects, they are likely to strain Rivian’s near-term cash flows.
GM’s Price Performance, Valuation and Estimates

How is General Motors Using Strong Cash Flow to Fuel Growth?

Ford Motor Company F is positioning artificial intelligence (AI) as a core capability across its entire business. Data plays a central role in nearly every aspect of Ford’s operations, including design, engineering, safety testing, manufacturing, marketing, sales and customer support. With more than 120 years of history, the company possesses vast and unique datasets built from decades of vehicle design, engineering insights, connected vehicle information and manufacturing records. This deep data foundation provides a major strategic advantage.
The company’s strategy focuses on treating data as a key corporate asset through its Enterprise Data Platform, which serves as the authoritative source for analytics and AI-driven insights across the organization, according to Franziska (Fran) Bell, chief data, AI and analytics officer at Ford.
Ford is working to integrate AI deeply into its processes rather than using it only in isolated projects. The aim is to create an intelligent ecosystem where data flows seamlessly from early design stages through manufacturing and into the customer ownership experience. Within this system, AI functions as a digital partner that augments human capabilities rather than replacing them. Engineers, designers and business leaders can rely on AI to analyze complex datasets, run simulations and automate repetitive tasks, allowing them to focus more on strategic thinking and creative problem-solving.
To drive this transformation, Ford has launched several major AI initiatives. These include generative AI tools that help designers rapidly produce multiple vehicle concepts, proprietary AI models that dramatically accelerate aerodynamic simulations, AI agents that improve customer support on Ford’s website and AI-assisted code reviews that significantly reduce software development cycles.
One of the company’s AI initiatives is Ford Pro AI, which is capable of tracking and analyzing more than one billion data points per day from connected commercial vehicles. This information includes details such as seatbelt usage, vehicle condition, fuel consumption and route efficiency, enabling a deeper understanding of how vehicles are being operated in real time.
The purpose of this technology is to provide Ford’s 840,000 paying commercial customers with advanced tools that help improve operational efficiency and profitability while minimizing vehicle downtime. By offering clearer insights into fleet performance and business operations, the platform allows companies to make better data-driven decisions regarding their vehicles and logistics. F carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) at present. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
AI Initiatives by Ford’s Peers
Last year, General Motors Company GM announced that the artificial intelligence technology from Google, which underpins its infotainment platform, will allow drivers to interact with their vehicles in a more natural way, similar to having a conversation with another passenger. GM plans to roll out the AI technology broadly across its lineup, with updates expected to reach select vehicles dating back to the 2016 model year, as well as all new models in the United States starting in 2026. The company intends to eventually build its own custom AI systems tailored to its vehicles, though it did not specify a timeline for when that development may be completed.
Tesla TSLA and Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence startup xAI have recently introduced a joint initiative called “Macrohard” or “Digital Optimus.” Per Reuters, the system is designed to replicate many functions typically carried out by software companies. The project integrates xAI’s Grok, which acts as a high-level navigator, with a Tesla-built AI agent capable of analyzing live computer screen video along with keyboard and mouse activity, per a social media post by Musk. The system is expected to operate using Tesla’s proprietary AI4 chip, combined with NVIDIA-based server infrastructure from xAI. Musk noted that this hardware combination is intended to remain cost-competitive.
F’s Price Performance, Valuation and Estimates
Ford has underperformed the Zacks Automotive-Domestic industry in the last six months. Its shares have gained 3.7% compared with the industry’s growth of 6.7%.

How Is Ford Embedding AI Across Design, Engineering and Sales?

General Motors Company GM is re-entering the world’s third-largest car market in a different way several years after leaving India. Rather than returning to sell vehicles, the Detroit-based company is focusing on the automotive parts business, which is typically less visible but often highly profitable.
The automaker recently relaunched its global aftermarket brand ACDelco in India through a licensing partnership with Assurance International Limited. Under this arrangement, Assurance will produce and distribute ACDelco-branded batteries and lubricants for the Indian market.
General Motors previously sold vehicles in India under its Chevrolet brand but withdrew from the market in 2017 after struggling to secure a meaningful market share despite operating there for many years. Following the exit, ACDelco also discontinued its Indian operations in 2020.
The company’s renewed presence focuses on India’s rapidly expanding vehicle repair and replacement ecosystem instead of competing in the crowded automotive sales market. The country’s vehicle parc, the total number of vehicles in operation, has surpassed 300 million, creating a large aftermarket sector valued at more than $12 billion annually and continuing to grow as vehicles age.
For global automakers that have scaled back local manufacturing, the aftermarket segment offers stable margins without the substantial capital investment required for vehicle production.
Initially, ACDelco’s lineup in India will include automotive batteries and high-performance lubricants for both passenger and commercial vehicles. These products will be manufactured locally at facilities operated by Assurance in Hisar.
Assurance has already invested about Rs 180 crore in a lubricant blending and packaging facility with a daily capacity of 100,000 litres. In addition, a battery manufacturing plant, planned with an investment of roughly Rs 300 crore over three years, is expected to begin production by April and eventually reach a capacity of around 25,000 units per day. GM carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) at present. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 (Strong Buy) Rank stocks here.

Radical New Technology Could Hand Investors Huge Gains

Why Is General Motors Betting on India's Auto Parts Market?

Ford Motor Company’s F Ford Pro segment continued to demonstrate its role as a major profit driver for the company, generating more than $66 billion in revenues and $6.8 billion in EBIT with a double-digit margin in 2025. This performance came despite challenges such as tariffs, production disruptions linked to Novelis, normalization in U.S. industry pricing in more commoditized segments like government and delivery vans and a difficult macroeconomic and regulatory environment in Europe, where the business still recorded market-share gains, per the company’s fourth-quarter 2025 earnings transcript.
In the United States, the Transit posted record sales, rising 6% year over year in 2025, while Super Duty achieved its strongest sales in more than two decades, increasing 10%. Ford Pro has also continued to evolve its operations by diversifying revenue streams and expanding its high-margin service infrastructure, with paid software subscriptions growing 30% year over year in 2025.
Ford Pro EBIT in 2026 is expected to be in the range of $6.5 billion to $7.5 billion compared to $6.84 billion in 2025. In North America, Ford anticipates continued market-share growth in an industry that is expected to remain relatively flat, supported by conquest sales and a diversified customer base comprising roughly one-third large corporations, one-third small and medium-sized businesses and one-third government and rental fleets.
Ford Pro is strengthening its long-term durability by expanding its mix of profitable software and physical services globally through targeted customer strategies, demand-generation initiatives and specialized solutions. However, despite improving underlying fundamentals, the company expects 2026 results to face near-term pressure from the impact of Novelis-related issues, the ramp-up of the Oakville facility to increase Super Duty capacity in Canada and a tougher regulatory environment in Europe. F carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) at present. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Exchange traded funds (ETFs) trade just like stocks, but instead of ''shares'' investors are actually buying and selling ''units''. These ''units'' can be traded back and forth just like stocks, but can also be created or destroyed to accommodate investor demand. Each week we monitor the week-over-week change in shares outstanding data, to keep a lookout for those ETFs experiencing notable inflows (many new units created) or outflows (many old units destroyed). Creation of new units will mean the underlying holdings of the ETF need to be purchased, while destruction of units involves selling underlying holdings, so large flows can also impact the individual components held within ETFs.

VLUE, GM, VZ, MRK: ETF Inflow Alert

General Motors Company’s GM 2027 Chevrolet Bolt will start at an MSRP of $28,995, making it the most affordable EV in the United States. The company aimed to improve the new model over its predecessor by offering greater driving range, faster charging, a NACS port and updated technology while maintaining its strong value proposition.
Per Jeremy Short, chief engineer for the 2027 Bolt, cost reductions were primarily achieved through economies of scale rather than by removing features. GM leveraged components and technologies from its broader EV portfolio, including parts shared with vehicles, such as the Chevrolet Equinox EV, to achieve cost savings while improving efficiency and performance.
The 2027 Bolt features larger displays, an 11-inch driver screen and an 11.3-inch touchscreen, borrowed from GM’s mid-size trucks, which also helped lower costs. The vehicle maintains the same battery capacity but gains about 15 additional miles of range due to improved efficiency from shared power electronics and motor systems.
Faster charging speeds of up to 150 kW are enabled by a new LFP battery, marking GM’s first use of this chemistry in North America. Overall, the company emphasized that the Bolt’s affordability comes from strategic engineering and component sharing rather than removing features, while preserving the qualities that have made the model popular with customers. GM carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) at present. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 (Strong Buy) Rank stocks here.
Affordable EVs by Other Automakers
Rivian Automotive, Inc. RIVN aims to broaden its reach with the upcoming R2 model, targeting more budget-conscious consumers. The R2, a midsize SUV, is slated for launch in the first half of 2026 with a starting price around $45,000, significantly lower than the premium R1 lineup. Rivian views the R2 as a key growth driver, citing major cost efficiencies in both materials and manufacturing. Rivian anticipates the R2’s launch will accelerate its path to profitability and help reduce fixed costs per unit across all vehicles produced at its Normal, IL, plant due to higher production volumes.
Ford Motor Company F plans to begin introducing its new lineup of affordable electric vehicles in 2027, highlighted by a midsize pickup truck expected to have a starting price of about $30,000, per Reuters. The four-door midsize pickup will be produced at Ford’s plant in Louisville, Kentucky. Ford is investing nearly $2 billion to upgrade the facility, which currently builds the Escape and Lincoln Corsair.
