General Motors Reports Q3 2025 Financial Results with $48.6 Billion Revenue

General Motors Company (GM) reported its financial results for the third quarter of 2025, revealing a total net sales and revenue of $48.6 billion, a slight decrease of 0.3% from $48.8 billion in the same period last year. The automotive segment generated $44.3 billion in revenue, down from $44.7 billion, while GM Financial contributed $4.3 billion, up from $4.0 billion. The company’s net income attributable to stockholders was $1.3 billion, or $1.37 per share, compared to $3.1 billion, or $2.71 per share, in the prior year quarter, reflecting a significant decline in profitability.

For the nine months ending September 30, 2025, GM's total net sales and revenue remained relatively stable at $139.7 billion, compared to $139.7 billion in the same period of 2024. However, net income attributable to stockholders decreased to $6.0 billion, or $6.75 per share, from $9.0 billion, or $7.85 per share, in the previous year. The decline in profitability was attributed to increased costs, including a $1.6 billion charge related to the strategic realignment of electric vehicle (EV) capacity and manufacturing footprint, as well as rising material and freight costs.

In terms of operational developments, GM reported a total of 2.9 million wholesale vehicle sales in the first nine months of 2025, a decrease from 3.0 million in the same period last year. The company’s market share in the U.S. increased to 17.2%, up from 16.2% in the previous year, driven by strong demand for full-size pickup trucks and SUVs. GM's international operations also saw a mixed performance, with total vehicle sales in China reaching 1.4 million units, representing a market share of 7.0%, an increase from 6.8% in the prior year.

Strategically, GM has made significant changes, including the acquisition of noncontrolling interests in Cruise, which is now fully integrated into GM's operations. The company has also announced plans to wind down its Cruise robotaxi operations, reallocating resources to focus on advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and personal autonomous vehicles. GM's outlook for the remainder of 2025 anticipates net income attributable to stockholders between $7.7 billion and $8.3 billion, with EBIT-adjusted expected to range from $12.0 billion to $13.0 billion, reflecting ongoing efforts to align production with consumer demand and manage costs effectively.
