DETROIT — General Motors raised its 2025 financial guidance Tuesday after beating Wall Street’s top- and bottom-line earnings expectations for the third quarter, while lowering its expected impact from tariffs.

Shares of GM swung from down by 2.4% to up by more than 9% during premarket trading on Tuesday. The stock closed Monday at $58 per share.

Here’s how the company performed in the third quarter, compared with average estimates compiled by LSEG:

• Earnings per share: $2.80 adjusted vs. $2.31 expected
• Revenue: $48.59 billion vs. $45.27 billion expected
• Adjusted EBIT: $3.38 billion vs. $2.72 billion expected

GM’s third-quarter revenue of $48.59 billion was down less than 1% from $48.76 billion in the same period last year.

GM’s new outlook signals strength for the automaker heading into the fourth quarter and beats Wall Street analysts’ current expectations for the last three months of the year.

The updated guidance includes adjusted earnings before interest and taxes of between $12 billion and $13 billion, or $9.75 to $10.50 adjusted EPS, up from $10 billion to $12.5 billion, or $8.25 to $10 adjusted EPS, and adjusted automotive free cash flow of $10 billion to $11 billion, up from $7.5 billion to $10 billion.

The automaker’s new EPS target suggests a fourth-quarter adjusted EPS of between $1.64 and $2.39, with a midpoint around $2.02, which is above current consensus of $1.94.

“Thanks to the collective efforts of our team, and our compelling vehicle portfolio, GM delivered another very good quarter of earnings and free cash flow,” GM CEO Mary Barra said Tuesday in a shareholder letter. “Based on our performance, we are raising our full-year guidance, underscoring our confidence in the company’s trajectory.”

GM also reduced the expected impact of tariffs this year to between $3.5 billion and $4.5 billion, down from $4 billion to $5 billion. The automaker expects to offset about 35% of that impact.

Barra on Tuesday thanked President Donald Trump for “the important tariff updates” Friday that included imposing levies on imported medium- and heavy-duty trucks and parts as well as extending a tariff offset worth 3.75% of the value of American-made vehicles.

GM’s adjusted results do not include $1.6 billion in special charges reported by the automaker last week due to its pullback in all-electric vehicles, which more than halved its net income attributable to stockholders compared with the third quarter of 2024.

The company’s net income attributable to stockholders was $1.3 billion during the just-reported period, down 57% from roughly $3.1 billion year earlier. Its net income margin also plummeted to 2.7%, down from 6.3% a year earlier.

GM CFO Paul Jacobson on Tuesday said only about 40% of the company’s EVs were profitable on a production, or contribution-margin basis. He signaled that the company expects profitability of EVs to take longer than previously expected amid an expected slowdown in adoption.

“We continue to believe that there is a strong future for electric vehicles, and we’ve got a great portfolio to be competitive, but we do have some structural changes that we need to do to make sure that we lower the cost of producing those vehicles,” he told CNBC’s Phil LeBeau during “Squawk Box.”

GM has made significant gains in EV sales this year. Motor Intelligence reported that the Detroit automaker went from an 8.7% market share to begin this year to 13.8% through the third quarter – topping Hyundai Motor, including Kia, at 8.6% through September. GM still trails U.S. EV leader Tesla by a wide margin.
