Shares of General Motors (NYSE: GM) slid 4.30% over the past month, compounding a difficult start to the year that has seen the stock lose 12.38%. The legacy automaker continues to struggle as the fallout from President Trump’s announcement that the U.S. would be placing a 25% tariff on all imported vehicles and automotive parts remains to cloud the industry’s outlook. GM’s stock, which sources its parts from a global network of 3,100 primary suppliers and a significant presence in Mexico, Canada and Asia, has suffered according.

GM’s ascent to the pinnacle of U.S. manufacturing clout and excellence in post-WWII era America made Chevrolet and Buick household names, with Cadillac hailed as the Holy Grail of luxury cars. General Motors’ supremacy has since been supplanted by rivals — both foreign and domestic — but the company continues to maintain a global presence in the automotive industry.

Still, the Detroit-headquartered legacy carmaker has seen its stock gain just 1.03% over the past year, but it has produced a healthy 115.22% return over the past five years. 24/7 Wall St. crunched the numbers to give invests our best estimate of GM’s future share price. No one has a crystal ball, and even the Wall Street is wrong just as often as it is right when it comes to predicting future stock prices. So we will walk through our assumptions and provide you with the story around the numbers (other sites just pick a share price without explaining why).

Key Points In This Article

• GM has reduced battery costs, launched EV new models, and scaled production, GM expects its EV segment to be in the black with models like the Hummer EV, Chevy Silverado EV, and Cadillac Lyriq already on the market. 
• The Ultium Drive system and battery plants in Ohio, Tennessee, and Lansing are key to its e-mobility ambitions. Additional battery production investment for vertical integration is a key component of GM’s strategy
• As consumer trends are demanding lower-priced vehicles, CEO Mary Barra’s announcement of new hybrids to join its Corvette E-Ray model is in process and expected for release in 2027.
• Robotaxis: GM’s Cruise plans to potentially start charging fares by early 2025. A strategic partnership with Uber Technologies (NYSE: UBER) is set for 2025, wherein Uber will offer Cruise robotaxis on its platform. 

General Motors’ Recent Stock Success

In 2014, Mary Barra took over as General Motors’ CEO. Since then, she has presided over a number of highs and lows for the company, including:

• A 2014 general recall of faulty ignition switches that were linked to over 124 deaths and a $1.5 billion settlement.
• A 2016 $500 million investment in Uber rideshare rival Lyft (NASDAQ: LYFT).
• The 2016 launch of the Chevrolet Bolt EV, which also serves as a prototype for the Cruise robotaxi.
• GM’s 2017 sale of Opel-Vauxhall to PSA Groupe SA resulted in a $6.2 billion hit and a $7.3 billion tax asset write-down, resulting in a loss. Ironically, shedding the European operations, which lost over $1 billion in 2015 and 2016, was hailed by shareholders, resulting in a stock price boost.
• In 2021, GM scored a deal with LG Chem Ltd. to supply enough cathode materials to build 5 million EVs.
• Between 2022 and 2023, GM’s EV production ramped up to deliver over 400,000 vehicles. 

From 2015 to 2024, GM saw its stock appreciate 51.04%, while its revenues climbed 38.07% and its net income fell by -37.5%. However, in its Q4 2024 earnings call, the company provided stronger guidance for 2025, including net income in the $11.2 billion–$12.5 billion range and diluted EPS of $11–$12, up from 2024’s $6.37.

Key Drivers of GM’s Stock Performance

1. Electrification: General Motors is decidedly “all-in” on EVs, unlike rival Ford, which announced some EV production cutbacks. GM’s larger international network will help to boost this segment in upcoming years.

2. Partnerships: GM’s arrangement with Uber to supply Cruise robotaxis should start generating another revenue stream commencing in 2026. 

3. R&D: General Motors’ Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, a project under its R&D department’s AI development, is tentatively projected to kickstart sometime in 2028. Meanwhile, the company’s battery technology R&D is anticipated to create greater efficiencies, storage capabilities and longer running times between charges in the future.

We believe that numerous factors, including illegal data harvesting and transmission class action suits, could drag the stock price down throughout 2025, despite other GM gains. Additionally, the Trump administration’s stance on EVs may thwart growth efforts. 

General Motors (GM) Stock Forecast 2205–2030

General Motors’ R&D work in artificial intelligence extends beyond its ADAS and Cruise robotaxi projects. Applying AI to streamline design and manufacturing efficiencies, GM will be able to utilize AI for better marketing and sales. By expanding data collection and applications for ride-sharing, logistics, urban mobility solutions, and customer satisfaction preferences, GM can customize vehicle models and features for increased demographic targeted appeal. 24/7 Wall St.’s price target for 2030 is $53.90. This would be a 19.88% gain over the current share price.
