General Motors reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of $50.0 billion and adjusted earnings before interest and taxes of $4.1 billion, according to its earnings release filed Tuesday. The company also narrowed its full-year adjusted earnings-per-share outlook and authorized a new $20 billion share-repurchase program.
Results and guidance
GM reported net income attributable to stockholders of $3.3 billion. Its updated outlook reflects a more cautious view of the remainder of the year. The company cited cost pressures, including commodity and logistics costs, while vehicle sales declined year over year during the quarter, according to contemporaneous financial coverage.
A share-repurchase authorization allows the company to buy back stock; it does not guarantee the full amount will be spent. Investors will be watching how costs, demand and the company’s product mix develop in coming quarters.
What to watch
GM’s figures are company-reported results, while the market’s reaction reflects investor expectations as well as the earnings themselves. The next quarterly reports will show whether the narrowed outlook proves sufficient.
