Early last month, investment banking company Morgan Stanley downgraded GM stock from overweight to equal weight, cutting the price target from $75 per share to $55 per share. As a result, GM stock value fell sharply, dropping 5.5 percent to $48 per share.

By comparison, GM stock value hit an all-time record high earlier this year following a series of announcements at the 2022 Consumer Electronics Show (CES). During the show, GM CEO Mary Barra delivered a keynote speech outlining the automaker’s efforts in electric vehicle technology and autonomous vehicle technology. General Motors also unveiled the 2024 Chevy Silverado EV, an all-electric variant of the popular light duty pickup truck, as well as the Cadillac InnerSpace, a fully autonomous luxury concept. During the show, GM stock value rose to a record-high of $67.21 per share.
