General Motors (GM) has reported its fourth-quarter earnings, surpassing analyst expectations despite a significant $2.96 billion loss attributed to challenges in the Chinese market and ongoing tariff concerns linked to policies under President Trump. While the company aims to boost profits in 2025, the stock has faced volatility, declining amid worries about tariffs and market uncertainty. CEO Mary Barra has acknowledged discussions with Trump regarding these tariffs, as GM continues to navigate the complex landscape of the electric vehicle market alongside its profitable gas-powered SUVs. Despite some optimistic projections for future profits, investor confidence appears shaky as concerns about regulatory impacts and share performance linger.
