Summary
GM's automotive cash balance hit $19.7 billion at the end of Q2, comfortably above its $18 billion target average. This follows the strong Q2 earnings report earlier today that showed a 30% jump in EBIT and an EPS beat. The cash position underscores the company's financial strength amid a robust truck and SUV cycle. It provides a buffer against potential headwinds from supplier disruptions or softening consumer demand.
