General Motors Company (GM) Earnings: An Early Look

Page 2 of 2

The most important things to pay attention to in GM’s report will be news of how the company is doing in China and Europe. In China, GM has had success in penetrating the local market via low-margin vehicles through a minority stake in a joint venture with Chinese partners, but it lacks the profit potential that Volkswagen has seen there. Meanwhile, GM could well consider bankruptcy due to resistance from labor unions over concessions designed to stop the bleeding there. With North America going well, what happens elsewhere in the world will make the biggest difference for GM going forward.
