GM beats Q3 expectations but shares fall despite a USD 20 billion buyback announcement.
📊 On October 20, GM reported Q3 revenue of USD 50 billion, up 2.9%, and adjusted EPS of USD 3.70, exceeding forecasts. Large pickup trucks in North America continued to support earnings.
📉 Shares fell around 4% in premarket trading as GM narrowed its full-year adjusted EPS guidance from USD 12–14 to USD 12.75–13.75. The midpoint rose to USD 13.25 but remained below Wall Street expectations, overshadowing the strong quarter.
💰 GM also raised its adjusted automotive free cash flow forecast to USD 11.5–12.5 billion and authorized a new USD 20 billion multiyear share repurchase program.
🔎 Cash generation and shareholder returns remain positives, but the market reaction suggests investors want clearer evidence that earnings growth can withstand cost pressures.
