Over the last few years, GM has taken significant steps to increase the value of its stock, including exiting markets where it is unwilling to or can’t find ways to turn a profit (such as Europe, South Africa and India), closing plants in various parts of the world, divesting loss-making divisions (such as Opel-Vauxhall), making adjustments to its business model in order to prioritize profit over market share, focusing on turning around its Cadillac luxury brand for profitability, and investing heavily into new-age mobility ventures such as electric vehicles and autonomous driving tech.
Despite these notable actions, the value of GM stock has historically hovered around the $33 per share mark, roughly the IPO price of the “new GM” in November 2010 – a circumstance that has had many investors frustrated. However, the current value of $37.02 marks a notable improvement in the value of GM shares.

Wonder if GM got that boost from their $1.5b investment in Lyft –
Lyft went public yesterday and was up 8% on the IPO …
Since Trump took office, U.S. stocks are up over 35%. GM stock hasn’t kept pace and up only about 5% or less.
Proof who is making the right business decisions for our country.
Mary Barra is far more capable than Trump.There are 80 million baby boomers who need to let their money work for them.Besides real estate, the market is the only game in town.Automobiles are crowded with many great choices.Ask yourself how does GM average $6k more on retail price per vehicle than Ford? And have you considered Ford’s share price and dividend compared to Mary Barra’s rebounding GM.
