GM Lifts 2025 Outlook After Q3 Beat, Trims Expected Tariff Hit

Improved tariff outlook gives GM confidence in higher full-year earnings.

Overview

  • General Motors raised 2025 guidance to $12.0 billion–$13.0 billion in adjusted EBIT, $9.75–$10.50 in adjusted EPS, and $10.0 billion–$11.0 billion in adjusted automotive free cash flow.
  • The company now pegs 2025 tariff exposure at roughly $3.5 billion–$4.5 billion, and said Q3 tariff costs were $1.1 billion after mitigation efforts.
  • Q3 adjusted EPS of $2.80 and adjusted EBIT of $3.376 billion topped analyst estimates, and the shares rose 6%–8% in premarket trading.
  • Earlier this month, GM recorded a $1.6 billion EV-related charge tied to realigning capacity ($1.2 billion non‑cash and $400 million cash), with management noting further EV charges are possible.
  • EV sales reached 66,501 in the quarter ahead of the Sept. 30 expiration of the $7,500 federal credit, and GM says recent actions are intended to reduce EV losses starting in 2026.
