Once upon a time, during the post-WWII Eisenhower administration, CEO Charles Wilson of General Motors (NYSE: GM) was nominated for Secretary of Defense. During confirmation hearings before a Senate Committee in 1952, Wilson responded to a question about conflicts of interest by Senator Robert Hendrickson as follows: “For years I thought that what was good for our country was good for General Motors, and vice versa.”
Detroit-headquartered GM’s ascent to the pinnacle of US manufacturing clout and excellence during that period made Chevrolet and Buick household names, with Cadillac hailed as the Holy Grail of luxury cars. General Motors’ supremacy has since been supplanted by rivals, both foreign and domestic, but the company continues to maintain a global presence in the automotive industry.
The Fed’s interest rate hikes and the escalation of inflation that began in 2021 severely impacted car-loans industry-wide. According to USAToday, car loans were at 3.86% in 2021, and the average five-year rate at present is 7.82%, based on a 700 FICO score. The average rate for used car buyer financing with deep subprime credit — someone with a credit score in the range of 300 to 500 — was as high as 21.57%, according to data from Experian. Unique to General Motors were the following legal, financial, and compliance landmines:
Nevertheless, investors are much more concerned with future stock performance over the next 1, 5, to 10 years. While most Wall Street analysts will calculate 12-month forward projections, it’s clear that nobody has a consistent crystal ball, and plenty of unforeseen circumstances can render even near term projections irrelevant. 24/7 Wall Street aims to present some farther-looking insights based on GM’s own numbers, along with business and market development information that may be of help to our readers’ own research.
12/9/2024
General Motors is struggling in China and recently announced a big loss of $5 million due to poor sales and tough competition from Chinese car companies. However, GM is heavily investing in electric cars and self-driving technology and has a strong hold in the U.S. market with trucks and SUVs.
12/3/2024
General Motors is recalling over 132,000 2024 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks due to a potential tailgate issue. Water can seep into the tailgate, causing the electronic gate-release switch to short circuit, which could potentially cause the tailgate to unexpectedly unlatch while the vehicle is in park.
11/25/2024
General Motors is set to join Formula 1 in 2026 under the Cadillac brand.
11/18/2024
General Motors has laid off 1,000 of its employees, including both hourly and salaried workers, and some with years of experience. This is in part due to the company’s recent shutdown of its Yuma, Arizona proving grounds, which were previously used for desert and hot-weather testing.
11/11/2024
General Motors is partnering with Walmart to provide 400 electric Chevrolet BrightDrop vehicles to Walmart’s home delivery fleet.
11/7/2024
Today General Motors announced plans to discontinue production of the gas-powered Cadillac XT4 in January 2025. The company is shifting its focus toward electric vehicles and will invest $390 million in its Kansas assembly plant to produce the next-generation Chevrolet Bolt EV. In addition, GM will cease production of the Chevrolet Malibu in the upcoming weeks.
Mary Barra took over as General Motors’ CEO in 2014. Since that time, she has presided over a number of highs and lows for the company, including:
Fiscal Year | Price | Revenues | Net Income |
2015 | $34.01 | $135.725B | $9.687B |
2016 | $34.84 | $149.184B | $9.427B |
2017 | $40.99 | $145.588B | (-$3.864B) |
2018 | $33.45 | $147.049B | $8.014B |
2019 | $36.60 | $137.237B | $6.732B |
2020 | $41.64 | $122.485B | $6.427B |
2021 | $58.63 | $127.004B | $10.019B |
2022 | $33.64 | $156.735B | $9.934B |
2023 | $35.92 | $171.842B | $10.127B |
2024 TTM | $47.76 | $178.093B | $11.078B |
The consensus rating from 27 Wall Street analysts is “outperform”. The average price target in 12 months is $54.00, which is roughly up 0.35% from the price at the time of this writing. 24/7 Wall Street’s 12-month projection for General Motors’ price is General Motors’ price is $44.30, which would be (-17.67%). We believe that this is a conservative estimate based on the Texas and illegal data harvesting and transmission class action suits, which can likely drag the stock price down throughout 2025, despite other GM gains. Additionally, the current EV mandate from Washington, DC may no longer be in effect, based on the results of this November’s presidential election.
General Motors’ Cruise autonomous vehicle technology has undergone a number of growing pains. After a 2023 San Francisco incident involving a Cruise vehicle that resulted in a pedestrian critical injury, Cruise halted production and issued a Cruise recall. Relaunching in Arizona, in Q1 2024, GM pumped an additional $850 million into Cruise for resumption in Texas. Cruise robotaxis are scheduled to supply Uber later on in 2025, and implementation to generate revenue is anticipated by 2026. 24/7 Wall Street projects GM stock to rise in 2026 to $45.25, which would equate to an approximate 2.14% gain year-over-year.
Stronger EV sales with new models added to its line of Hummer EV, Chevy Silverado EV, and Cadillac Lyriq top sellers, along with the release of additional hybrids to meet demand for 2027 should help GM reach our projected stock price of $48.30, a 6.74% gain year-over-year.
General Motors’ proprietary battery manufacturing in MI, OH, and TN will likely augment the completion of its investment in Lithium Americas Corp in Canada. By owning a stake in LAC, GM should have an assured supply of lithium for its Ultium Drive batteries. The cathode supply deal with LG Chem should round out supply chain security for the Ultium platform, which should also proliferate its Ultium 360 charging platform throughout 2028. Our 2028 GM stock price projection is $49.50, a 2.48% gain year-over-year gain.
2029 should begin to see revenues begin to manifest from General Motors’ autonomous driver assistance systems (ADAS), which are based on the same technology developed for Cruise. This is a hands-free driving system installed in privately owned vehicles, which can ostensibly reduce collisions and other vehicular accidents caused by driver-operator error. Dubbed “Super Cruise”, the GM’s ADAS still requires the driver to be attentive to traffic and road conditions, unlike the Cruise robotaxis, which are designed for urban environments, and more congested traffic situations. GM cars equipped with ADAS should sell well, as auto insurance premiums should ostensibly see commensurate reductions from lower collision risks. Our 2029 GM stock price projection is $51.35, a 3.75% gain year-over-year.
General Motors’ R&D work in artificial intelligence extends beyond its ADAS and Cruise robotaxi projects. Applying AI to streamline design and manufacturing efficiencies, GM will be able to utilize AI for better marketing and sales. By expanding data collection and applications for ride-sharing, logistics, urban mobility solutions, and customer satisfaction preferences, GM can customize vehicle models and features for increased demographic targeted appeal. 24/7 Wall Street’s price target for 2030 is $53.90. This would be a 5% gain over 2029 and would mark a 0.94% 5-year cumulative gain.
Year | EPS | Projected Price |
2025 | 7.67 | $44.30 |
2026 | 8.35 | $45.25 |
2027 | 8.52 | $48.30 |
2028 | 8.75 | $49.50 |
2029 | 9.94 | $51.35 |
2030 | 10.17 | $53.90 |
