Junto Investments, in their Q4 2020 Investor Letter said that they acquired a position in General Motors Company (NYSE: GM), and so far its paying off bigtime. General Motors Company is a vehicle manufacturing company that currently has a $73 billion market cap. For the past 3 months, GM delivered a decent 46.29% return and settled at $51.04 per share at the closing of January 28th.
Here is what Junto Investments has to say about General Motors Company in their investor letter:
“General Motors was the biggest gainer. We managed to buy it at a screamingly cheap price in the middle of March. A lot of interesting news has emerged about GM recently, including the new electric product delivery system BrightDrop and GM Cruise’s team-up with Microsoft Azure to commercialize self-driving cars in 2021. GM’s intrinsic value is crystallizing and the company is worth a whole lot more than is still reflected in the market.”
