GM Seen Posting $3.20 Q2 EPS on $47.01 Billion Revenue

3 articles · Updated · CNBC · Jul 21

Summary

  • $3.20 a share and $47.01 billion in revenue are Wall Street’s average forecasts for General Motors’ second-quarter results due before Tuesday’s opening bell.
  • Those estimates imply adjusted EPS rising more than 26% from a year earlier even as revenue slips 0.2%, pointing to stronger profitability on roughly flat sales.
  • Investors are also watching whether GM changes its 2026 outlook and how tariffs, vehicle pricing and commodity costs — including DRAM chips — affected the quarter.
  • Barclays expects GM and Ford to beat second-quarter estimates and at least modestly raise guidance, citing strong first-half U.S. auto demand, steady pricing and conservative company forecasts.
  • GM last raised 2026 adjusted earnings guidance in April to $13.5 billion-$15.5 billion after factoring in a $500 million tariff rebate.
