GM delivers positive 2025 profit outlook
Briefly

General Motors reported a net income of $6.0 billion for 2024 but incurred a $3.0 billion loss in Q4 due to significant special charges exceeding $5 billion. The company is not overly concerned about potential impacts from Donald Trump's policy changes, projecting $10.0 billion - $11.0 billion in capital spending for 2025, including battery cell manufacturing investments. GM's financial outlook hinges on a stable North American policy environment as they adjust to recent operational shifts, including halting funding for the Cruise robotaxi venture.
