The company also raised its 2026 EBIT-adjusted guidance by $500M to $13.5-$15.5B, tied to expected refunds from a Supreme Court ruling striking down some Trump-era tariffs, though it now expects $1.5-$2B in raw materials, chip, and logistics headwinds.

General Motors shares declined approximately 5% for the week ending May 15, 2026, closing at $74.86 per share. The drop was driven by news that the automaker is cutting 500 to 600 information technology jobs globally as it pivots toward AI-focused talent. GM also agreed to a $12.75 million settlement of a California privacy lawsuit over OnStar driver data sharing with insurance brokers, with more than 25 additional class actions pending. Strategically, GM has slowed Ultium battery production goals and abandoned its next-generation electric truck program, shifting back toward hybrids. BofA Securities raised its GM price target to $106 from $105 while maintaining a Buy rating earlier in May.

General Motors disclosed plans to cut about 500-600 salaried employees from its information technology department to lower costs and reshape the team, with managers notifying affected workers starting Monday. The action follows continued EV demand challenges that have weighed on the financial outlook; GM recorded $7.6B in EV-related charges in 2025, including a $6B writedown tied to scrapping EV production plans and canceling battery supply contracts. GM also indefinitely suspended plans to refresh its full-size electric truck and SUV lineup (Chevy Silverado EV, GMC Sierra EV, Hummer EV, Cadillac Escalade IQ). The Ohio battery plant restart date remains uncertain. Stock priced at $77.00. Risk: EV market softness vs Ford competitive pressure.

On May 11, 2026, General Motors announced plans to lay off roughly 500-600 white-collar IT workers globally as part of a restructuring that simultaneously hires for AI-native development, data engineering, cloud and agent/model development. Affected employees began receiving notification emails Monday, with severance details now circulating in coverage on May 12. The news pulled GM down to about $76.06 on May 13 from $78.80 on May 8, leaving shares down roughly 12% from their January year-to-date high. The cuts come on top of a top marketing executive departure earlier in May and a recent Q1 2026 print that beat estimates with EPS of $3.70 on $43.6 billion of revenue, alongside raised full-year EBIT-adjusted guidance and a narrowed gross tariff cost range of $2.5-$3.5 billion (down from $3.0-$4.0 billion). Analyst consensus remains Moderate Buy at a roughly $93 average target.

General Motors began notifying about 500-600 salaried IT employees of layoffs starting May 11 as part of a department restructuring aimed at cutting costs, even as GM continues to hire selectively in AI, motorsports, and autonomous vehicles. Separately, GM agreed to a $12.75M settlement of a California privacy lawsuit alleging unauthorized sales of driver data. The cost-cutting comes against a backdrop of strategic retrenchment in EVs - GM indefinitely suspended next-generation electric truck/SUV refreshes (Silverado EV, Sierra EV, Hummer EV, Escalade IQ) after $7.6B in 2025 EV-related charges. The Ultium Cells JV with LG is starting a partial restart of its idled Ohio EV battery plant.

GM shares closed at $78.80 on May 8, up 4.0% for the week, after BofA Securities lifted its price target to $106 from $105 with a Buy rating. The company is facing more than 25 new class action lawsuits over selling driver data to brokers that resold it to insurance companies. President Trump announced a 25% tariff on European car imports, though GM lowered its expected gross tariff cost to $2.5B-$3.5B (from $3.0B-$4.0B) following a favorable Supreme Court ruling. GM's top marketing executive (CGO Norm de Greve) is departing next month after three years. The board previously approved a 20% dividend hike and a new $6.0B share repurchase authorization.
