general motors reports third quarter revenue

General Motors reported a third-quarter 2025 revenue of $48.6 billion.

The General also reports net income attributable to stockholders of $1.3 billion and EBIT-adjusted of $3.4 billion.

The previous guidance for net income attributable to stockholders was $7.7 billion to $9.5 million for 2025. That number has adjusted to $7.7B to $8.3 billion.

Automotive operating cash flow has further been adjusted down -- it was $19.2 billion to $21.2 billion and is now $17 billion to $20.5 billion.

You can dig deeper into the details at the press release here. Other notes from CEO Mary Barra's letter to shareholders show that the company had its highest third-quarter market share since 2017 and its profitable in China again. Barra also thanks the current presidential administration for tariff relief and says the company will pull back on EV production since the regulatory environment is less stringent. That last bit is unsurprising -- the investment in EVs is costly and while market share is growing, it's not happening quickly. So if GM can reduce costs by not having to hit tougher fuel-economy and emissions targets, that's understandable.

In product news, the General confirms that there will be a new Cadillac CT5, the XT5 is sticking around, and Blazer production is moving to the U.S. The Cadillac Escalade and the next generation of full-size, light-duty trucks will be built at Orion when it comes back online in 2027.

There's more, but those bits stood out to me.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Andarris Here in the Toronto area I haven't seen a 2006-2012 with intact rocker pannels for over two years now. I presume everywhere around the Great Lakes is the same ? They were super cheap dhring the first two years of the pandemic - could get one with less than 85K for around $6500 certified or a little higher mileage for $5000. Glad I skipped it, even in 2021 some of the 10's &11's were displaying corosion like you'd see on a 7 year older Impala, Camry or Accord. Also the mid-model switch to EPS made me balk at the few clean ones I found.

Big Al from Oz gidday mites how are yall feelin today? Want to have a barbie? We are right here gettin dee fire ready
Michael S6 The 3 Amigos better hope that the oil spike is short lived as 4-5 dollar a gallon gas would put a damper on their cash cows especially "Ford's strategic shift" of killing off the escape/Lincoln cousin. Most other automakers have a full line of vehicles with much better full economy. GM is sucking air and its Cadillac devision is mostly EV and geriatric line up of ICE cars and SUV's that were supposed to be phased out this year. The expensive gas may push shoppers toward EV but GM's horrible EV reliability is a barrier.
Tane94 I read the GM press release about first quarter sales 2026 vs 2025 and Buick is getting its butt kicked:Buick Total* 41,654 61,822 -32.6 The future is bleak for Buick.
