As of the time of publication, the company's stock price rose 4.4% in pre-market trading. General Motors announced this move on Wednesday, amid uncertainties in the automotive industry due to policy changes under President Trump, including threats of tariffs and commitments to reduce support for electric vehicles. "We are confident in our business plans, our balance sheet remains strong, and we will be flexible in responding to changes in public policy if needed," Chief Financial Officer Paul Jacobson said in a statement. General Motors stated that there is no expiration date for this buyback, but it plans to complete the first $2 billion of buybacks before the end of the second quarter. The company raised its quarterly dividend by 3 cents to 15 cents per share. ![image.png](https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://img.zhitongcaijing.com/image/20250226/1740572870806212.png?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg) Reduction in publicly traded shares of General Motors This is the latest in a series of significant stock buyback actions by the company. In 2021, General Motors had 1.45 billion shares outstanding, but the current publicly traded shares are less than 1 billion. General Motors approved a $6 billion stock buyback plan in June last year, of which $300 million remains uncompleted. Previously, the company completed a $10 billion buyback plan in November 2023. Since 2015, including the latest buyback, the General Motors board has approved a total of $37.7 billion in buyback plans. This has helped boost General Motors' stock price, despite the company's business plans and strategies facing a series of setbacks recently. According to the adjusted free cash flow target for 2025 ($11 billion to $13 billion), the company can cover these expenditures while maintaining a stable capital expenditure plan. The company has not chosen to invest cash into new investments, nor has it used it as a buffer to respond to any negative impacts from changes in White House policies. Trump proposed a 25% tariff on Mexico and Canada, where General Motors has five assembly plants, and it is also affected by the highly integrated North American automotive parts supply chain. Trump also directed General Motors to consider canceling policies favorable to electric vehicles, which could pose short-term risks to General Motors' investments in plug-in vehicles ### 相关股票 - [General Motors (GM.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/GM.US.md) ## 相关资讯与研究 - [Market Chatter: General Motors to Add Sixth Production Day at Michigan Plant](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/281038938.md) - [General Motors Reportedly Plans $600 Million Investment in South Korea Unit; Shares Up Pre-Bell](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/280455098.md) - [Here's How Much $100 Invested In abrdn Physical Silver Shares ETF 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/281394387.md) - [Destiny Tech100 Stock Rises After SpaceX IPO Rumors](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/281415250.md) - [BREAKINGVIEWS-SpaceX IPO will gauge market moxie more than depth](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/281406751.md)
