- General Motors raised 2026 adjusted EBIT guidance to $13.5‑$15.5 billion and EPS to $11.50‑$13.50, adding $500 million to prior forecasts.
- U.S. Supreme Court nullified Trump‑imposed tariffs in a 6‑3 ruling, unlocking a $500 million refund for GM under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
- Mary Barra said the quarter “surpassed expectations,” with adjusted EPS of $3.70 versus $2.62 consensus and revenue of $43.62 billion, just shy of the $43.68 billion forecast.
Why it matters: GM gains a $500 million boost, lifting earnings per share to $3.70 and cash flow, while the overturned Trump tariffs erode the administration’s policy credibility; the refund strengthens GM’s balance sheet and spurs other firms to pursue similar IEEPA claims.
