General Motors recorded better-than-expected results for the second quarter and updated its forecast for the year, but it seems that this is not enough for investors. The company recorded earnings per share of $1.91 on revenues of $44.7 billion. Wall Street expected earnings per share of $1.87 on revenues of $42.1 billion. The operating profit was 3.2 billion dollars, in line with expectations.

 

In its forecast for the entire year, General Motors expects an operating profit of 12-14 billion dollars. Last April, the company expected an operating profit of 11-13 billion dollars. This is the company's second forecast update, when in January the company expected the operating profit to fall to 10.5-12.5 billion dollars. The market expectation is that the operating profit will be 11.8 billion dollars.

 

Despite the stock drop, this looks like a pretty good quarter for the automaker in an environment of uncertainty. Sales and profits saw a partial improvement after solutions to supply chain problems, including the chip shortage, began to be found.

 

General Motors delivered 591,978 vehicles in the US in the second quarter, compared to 582,401 deliveries last year. The inventory found at car dealers stands at 427,973 units, an increase from 250,000 about a year ago.
