Summary

General Motors reported second-quarter 2026 results and raised full-year guidance for the second time this year, signaling confidence in its operating momentum. Revenue of $48.0 billion rose 1.9% year-over-year, and adjusted EBIT climbed 29.8% to $3.9 billion.

The company lifted its full-year adjusted EBIT guidance to $14.0-$16.0 billion (from $13.5-$15.5 billion), adjusted automotive free cash flow to $9.5-$11.5 billion (from $9.0-$11.0 billion), and adjusted diluted EPS to $12.00-$14.00 (from $11.50-$13.50). Reported net income fell 31.1% to $1.3 billion, driven by $2.5 billion in adjustments.

The largest adjustment was $2.3 billion for EV strategic realignment, reflecting GM's recalibration of its EV capacity and manufacturing footprint, including Ultium's strategic realignment. The company also recorded $177 million in China restructuring charges, including an other-than-temporary impairment at its China joint ventures, as market share in China slipped to 6.6% from 6.8% year-over-year. These charges underscore ongoing challenges in China and the cost of repositioning GM's EV operations. The Board declared a $0.18 quarterly dividend, payable in September.
