GM is investing heavily in its electric vehicle and battery production ecosystem. The company has committed $888 million to its Tonawanda, New York propulsion plant to begin next-generation small-block V8 engine production in 2027, while simultaneously scaling EV output with its Ultium battery system. Three new battery gigafactories in Ohio, Tennessee and Lansing are operational, and GM forecasts its EV division will reach profitability this year, driven by models such as the Hummer EV, Chevy Silverado EV and Cadillac Lyriq. In parallel, the Cruise robotaxi partnership with Uber is scheduled to launch driverless ride-hailing services in select U.S. cities in 2025, opening a new revenue stream.

The median one-year price target is $79.72, suggesting modest upside potential relative to current levels.

GM’s five-year total return has exceeded 100%, underpinned by disciplined capital allocation, a dividend reinvestment plan and progress toward full electrification.
