Wall Street analysts are pointing in different directions regarding the price targets for GM’s stock value, but the consensus appears to be a Buy rating.
UBS raised its price target on GM shares from $102 to $105 and maintained a Buy rating, while Goldman Sachs cut its target from $104 to $91, but maintained a Buy rating. Deutsche Bank was also positive in its assessment, upgrading GM shares from Hold to Buy and raising its price target from $83 to $90.
Analysts generally expressed a positive outlook heading into the next round of earnings reports, with the potential for results in line with guidance or above, while others cited a less encouraging picture as a result of higher costs and weak sales performance in the Chinese market.
As of this writing (4/15/2026), General Motors stock is currently trading at around $78 per share, well below its 52-week high of $87.62, prompting some analysts to frame the moment as a good entry point. Additionally, some analysts pointed to recent geopolitical developments as the primary cause of the recent volatility, rather than any underlying problems in GM’s operations.
The value of General Motors shares increased last week, rising more than 5 percent compared to the previous week. The previous week was marked by a small decline in share values, with performance relatively flat in previous weeks. Undoubtedly, the ongoing conflicts in Iran and the Middle East have played a large role in stock valuations across markets, with increasing uncertainty regarding global oil supplies as a result of the blockade in the Strait of Hormuz.
Despite sharply rising gas prices, the US auto market continues to show enthusiasm for large trucks and SUVs, but General Motors sales fell 10 percent during the first quarter of 2026, down to 626,429 units. Sales declined across all brands, including Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick and GMC. General Motors attributed the sales decline in the first quarter of 2026 to severe winter weather, which impacted showroom traffic.
