GM Tallies $11.2B in EV Charges, Warns $2B Cost Hit for 2026
GM is trading near its 52-week low of $66.57 (15% above the low).
Summary
GM has now booked $11.2B in EV charges since last year, including $4.6B in Q3 and a $6B charge in January 2026, and management warns commodity, logistics and DRAM costs could shave about $2B off 2026 profit. Persistent commodity inflation could add another $1-1.5B EBIT headwind in 2027. The company also trimmed full-year adjusted net income guidance to $14.5-$15.5B from $14-$16B after Q3 results, and flagged weaker Q4 pickup deliveries ahead of the redesigned Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra launches. Separately, GM canceled a long-term rare-earth magnet supply deal with VAC's U.S. unit, and VAC has filed arbitration. This follows the Q3 8-K on October 20 that reported $50.0B revenue, $4.1B EBIT-adjusted and a new $20B buyback; the charge tally and cost warnings are the negative counterweight to that beat.
At the time of this announcement, GM was trading at $76.29 on NYSE in the Energy & Transportation sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $64B.
