General Motors beats quarterly results targets, raises forecast
General Motors on Tuesday posted quarterly results that topped Wall Street targets and raised its annual forecast, citing stable pricing and demand for its gas-engine vehicles. “Our consumer has been remarkably resilient in this period of higher interest rates,” GM's chief financial officer, Paul Jacobson, said. While the company started 2024 strong, Chief Executive Mary Barra still has two large challenges ahead: turning around GM's shrinking sales in China, and salvaging Cruise, its robotaxi unit.

General Motors reports strong first-quarter profits as prices help offset small US sales dip
Despite a small dip in U.S. vehicle sales, General Motors' first-quarter net income rose more than 25% on strong deliveries of pickup trucks and other higher-profit vehicles. The Detroit automaker said that while its average sales price per vehicle was down slightly from last year at just under $50,000, pickup sales remained strong, and it's not seeing the price erosion across its lineup that other companies have experienced. GM on Tuesday said it made $2.97 billion from January through March, with revenue increasing 7.6% over the same period a year ago to just over $43 billion.
