General Motors (GM) is expected to report its Q3 earnings, with a revenue estimate of $44.69 billion, which is lower than last quarter but higher than the same period last year. Investors will be focused on GM's inventory management and electric vehicle (EV) performance, as EV sales jumped 60% despite a slight overall vehicle sales decrease. Analysts predict GM will meet or exceed expectations, buoyed by stable pricing and effective inventory control. Concerns over potential pricing and inventory issues remain, although GM's recent initiatives aim to enhance EV profitability in the future.
