G.M.’s Ailing China Business Will Deal It a $5 Billion Blow
Published On Dec 4, 2024, 6:46 AM
General Motors is facing significant challenges in China, where it expects to incur over $5 billion in losses due to plummeting car sales and increased competition from Chinese manufacturers. GM's partnership with SAIC Motor has seen a steep decline in market share, dropping from 8.6% a year ago to 6.8%, with sales down nearly 20%. The company is undertaking a restructuring plan aimed at improving its situation, but does not anticipate recovery in the near term, projecting improvements only by 2025.
Stock Forecasts
GM
Negative
GM is currently struggling in the Chinese market, and its projected losses of over $5 billion indicate serious operational issues. The ongoing decline in market share reflects a strong competitive environment dominated by local players in the electric vehicle sector. Therefore, investors should be cautious about GM's stock in the short term, as the market is likely to respond negatively to these developments until there is clear evidence of a turnaround.

"If there are U.S. tariffs, Mexico would also raise tariffs," Sheinbaum said during her regular morning press conference, in her clearest statement yet that the country was preparing possible retaliatory trade measures against its top trade partner.
