Despite a nearly 7% dip in 2026 due to a sales slump, General Motors (GM) is poised for a significant rebound, according to analysts at JPMorgan. The investment bank has reiterated an "overweight" rating on the automotive giant, boosting its price target to $110 from $98, which suggests an impressive 45% upside from recent closing prices.
JPMorgan analyst Rajat Gupta highlighted GM's "consistent, steady execution" in navigating challenging industry conditions, including tariffs and supply chain disruptions. This robust performance, Gupta noted in a client memo, should support a "modest re-rating" for GM shares. The bank is particularly bullish on GM's valuation when compared to pure-play battery electric vehicle (BEV) competitors, as well as the company's strong free cash flow potential based on normalized earnings.
The year-to-date decline in GM's stock has largely been attributed to sluggish demand for electric vehicles and heightened competition across the global automotive landscape. However, the Detroit automaker is expected to surpass EBIT expectations for its second-quarter financial results, which are slated to be released on July 21. This positive earnings surprise could serve as a catalyst for stock appreciation.
Looking ahead, Gupta suggests that GM's strategic focus on autonomous technology and the expansion of its software and services revenue streams could drive a more substantial re-rating of its stock. This optimistic outlook from JPMorgan aligns closely with broader Street consensus, with LSEG data indicating that 24 out of 31 analysts covering General Motors currently hold a "buy" or "strong buy" rating on the stock.
