General Motors Co. (NYSE: GM) released its second-quarter 2025 financial results, showcasing a slight revenue decrease compared to the previous year. The company maintained its full-year guidance despite facing challenges in the automotive sector.
 

General Motors Reports Decrease in Revenue for Q2

In the second quarter of 2025, General Motors reported revenue of $47.1 billion, a decrease from $47.97 billion in the same period last year. This 1.8% decline reflects the ongoing challenges in the automotive industry, including supply chain disruptions and fluctuating demand. Despite the revenue drop, GM’s earnings per share (EPS) adjusted for dilution stood at $2.53, surpassing the market expectation of $2.45. This achievement highlights the company’s ability to manage costs and optimize operations effectively.

Comparing the current quarter’s performance against expectations, GM’s revenue of $47.1 billion exceeded the anticipated $45.16 billion, demonstrating resilience in maintaining its market position. However, net income attributable to stockholders fell to $1.9 billion, a significant decrease from $2.93 billion in the previous year, marking a 35.4% decline. This drop in net income can be attributed to increased costs and strategic investments aimed at future growth.

The company’s EBIT-adjusted margin also experienced a decline, dropping from 9.3% in the second quarter of 2024 to 6.4% in 2025. This reduction reflects the impact of higher operational expenses and restructuring efforts. However, GM’s ability to surpass EPS expectations indicates its focus on maintaining profitability amidst challenging market conditions.
 

GM Maintains Full-Year Financial Guidance

Looking ahead, General Motors has maintained its full-year financial guidance, projecting net income attributable to stockholders between $7.7 billion and $9.5 billion for the year ending December 31, 2025. The company anticipates an EBIT-adjusted range of $10 billion to $12.5 billion, reflecting confidence in its strategic initiatives and operational efficiency.

GM’s guidance for diluted earnings per common share is set between $8.22 and $9.97, with EPS-diluted-adjusted expected to range from $8.25 to $10.00. This outlook underscores the company’s commitment to delivering value to shareholders while navigating the evolving automotive landscape. The company continues to invest in electric vehicle (EV) technology and infrastructure, aligning with its vision for a sustainable future.

The company’s ability to maintain guidance amidst market fluctuations demonstrates its strategic foresight and adaptability. By leveraging advanced technology and focusing on innovation, GM aims to strengthen its position in the automotive industry. As the company moves toward an all-electric future, its continued investment in EVs and commitment to operational excellence are expected to drive long-term growth and shareholder value.
