**As Tariff Anxieties Eclipse Earnings Triumph, General Motors Guides S&P 500 Downward**
**Crucial Aspects**
* On Tuesday, GM shares plunged almost 9%, making it the S&P 500’s biggest decliner, as market worries regarding prospective levies exceeded better-than-anticipated Q4 income and modified profit.
* Among other actions, the automaker absorbed billions in one-time expenses connected to reorganizing its China operations and halting Cruise autonomous vehicle development.
* GM foresees profit expansion in 2025, presuming a consistent policy climate in North America.
General Motors (GM) stock plummeted on Tuesday, losing nearly 9% and leading the S&P 500’s list of losers. The company’s surprisingly robust fourth-quarter income and adjusted profits are being overshadowed by investors’ concerns about the possible effects of tariffs.
The parent firm of Chevrolet, Cadillac, and GMC announced a Q4 net loss of $2.96 billion, or $1.64 per share, on revenue of $47.7 billion. According to Visible Alpha projections, analysts had anticipated a profit of $1.55 billion, or $0.75 per share, on revenue of $44.17 billion.
GM anticipates net income of $11.2 billion to $12.5 billion, or $11 to $12 per share, for 2025, assuming a stable policy environment in North America. According to analysts, uncertainty around potential modifications to EV regulations and subsidies under a prospective Trump administration may reduce EV sales.
The automaker stated in its earnings release on Tuesday that its outlook does not take into account the effects of future policy changes from a new administration, such as tariffs, tax reform, or other regulations.

The adjusted profit before interest and taxes of ‘General Motors’ surpassed anticipations, reaching $2.51 billion, equivalent to $1.92 per share.
