General Motors just proved it can still spin the wrench under tariff pressure. The Detroit giant posted stronger-than-expected Q2 earnings and stuck to its downgraded 2025 outlook, even after a $1.1 billion tariff bite.
Key Points
-
Tariff Bite: Q2 duties cost $1.1 billion; full-year exposure pegged at $4 – $5 billion.
-
Beat Street: Adjusted EPS $2.53 on $47.12 billion revenue, topping analyst calls.
-
Fix-it Plan: Barra pledges $4 billion in U.S. plant moves to “greatly reduce” tariff risk.
Investors now eye GM’s next moves—especially its EV rollout—before federal tax credits vanish on Sept 30 and tariff costs rise for the back half of 2025.
