General Motors shares fell 6.84% to close at $77.09. The primary driver was a disappointing full-year profit outlook, which overshadowed the company’s third-quarter earnings beat.
What Happened
General Motors reported third-quarter revenue of $50.02 billion, exceeding estimates of $48.7 billion, and adjusted earnings per share of $3.70, which also beat expectations. Despite these top- and bottom-line beats, the stock declined sharply because the company warned of a rocky 2027. The CFO noted that prices for copper and some steel products have risen 10% to 15% since July, and commodity costs could worsen by $2 billion in 2027 if recent inflation trends hold. The board approved a new $20 billion multi-year buyback authorization with no expiration date, following the completion of a previous $6 billion program. Additionally, the company plans to introduce hybrid vehicles in multiple market segments as rising gasoline prices push consumers toward fuel efficiency.
What The Data Shows
The stock has moved down 6.0% over the last eight sessions, dropping from $82.00 to $77.09. The current price sits within the 52-week range of $57.55 to $91.85, with the company printing 20 fresh 52-week lows on October 20, 2026. Fundamentals show a market cap of $73.7 billion and a P/E ratio of 41.7. Insider activity over the last 90 days includes five sells totaling $49.0 million, with no buys recorded. Notable insider sales include EVP Dixton Grant Michael on August 3, 2026, and President Mark L. Reuss on July 28, 2026. In the last 36 hours, unusual options activity included 15 notable prints, with call premium of $1.4 million versus put premium of $565,000.
What To Watch
Investors will monitor the impact of the raised cash flow outlook and the execution of the new $20 billion buyback program. Coverage remains broad, with 63 stories published from 24 sources in the last 36 hours.
