Technical analysis reads price and volume to judge momentum and timing. It complements the fundamentals above — it does not replace them. Here is what GM's chart says today, with each tool explained.
Trend — moving averages. A moving average is the average closing price over a window, which smooths out daily noise. GM trades near $80.43, above its 50-day average ($79.03) and 200-day average ($74.32). Price above both averages, with the shorter one above the longer, is the textbook definition of an uptrend — momentum favours buyers.
Momentum — RSI. The Relative Strength Index runs 0–100 and measures how strong recent gains are versus losses. Above 70 is "overbought", below 30 "oversold". At 40 it is in neutral territory — neither stretched nor washed out.
MACD. MACD compares two moving averages to flag shifts in momentum. Its histogram is currently negative — short-term momentum is fading.
Volatility — ATR. Average True Range is the typical daily move. GM's is $2.93 (~3.6% of price), so swings of about that size each day are normal — handy for setting a stop that isn't too tight.
Support & resistance. Over the last month GM found buyers near $75.00 (support) and sellers near $85.41 (resistance); its 52-week range is $47.63–$87.62. A decisive break beyond either edge often marks the next move.
Volume. The latest session traded 2.1× the 20-day average — heavier than usual, which adds conviction to the move. Rising volume on up-days suggests real buying; on down-days, real selling.

Our model rates GM Weak (24/100) on growth, profitability, financial health, and valuation. The summary below is built from its filed financials and current ratios and refreshes automatically.
4Y CAGR
10.3%
Revenue moved from $113.59B in 2021 to $167.97B in 2025, a 10.3% compound annual growth rate. The most recent year declined 2.0% year over year. Shrinking revenue is worth a closer look — is it cyclical or structural?
Gross Margin
5.9%
Operating Margin
1.7%
Net Margin
1.6%
ROE
4.0%
General Motors keeps about 1.4% of each sales dollar as net profit, with a 5.9% gross margin and 1.7% operating margin. Return on equity is 4.0% and return on invested capital about 4.0%. Thin margins leave less cushion if costs rise.

Debt / Equity
2.13x
Leverage: debt-to-equity is 2.1x, and operating profit covers interest about 0.7x, with a current ratio of 1.1x. That is elevated leverage, which raises risk if earnings or rates move against it.
Operating CF
$26.87B
Free Cash Flow
$17.56B
FCF Margin
10.5%
In the latest year General Motors produced about $26.87B of operating cash flow and $17.56B of free cash flow after capital spending. That is a free-cash-flow yield of about 18.4% on today's price. Strong cash generation funds dividends, buybacks, and reinvestment.
P/E

EV / EBITDA

GM trades at 28.7x trailing earnings (about 41.0x on estimated forward earnings), 0.4x sales, and 1.2x book value. Reverse-engineering today's price implies the market expects roughly -12.5% long-term free-cash-flow growth. That is a premium multiple that needs growth to justify it.

Educational model on sample fundamentals — not a forecast or investment advice. Outputs are only as good as your assumptions.
The case for GM:
- Healthy free-cash-flow yield (~18.4%) funds buybacks and dividends.
- As an established S&P 500 member in Consumer Discretionary, it brings scale and a long operating history.
The case against GM:
- Revenue growth is slow/negative (-2.0%), limiting the upside engine.
- Thin net margins (1.4%) leave little room for error.
- Elevated leverage (debt/equity 2.1x) adds financial risk.
- Interest coverage is thin (0.7x), so debt costs bite.
- Our model's overall read is Weak (24/100).
Balance-sheet risk — debt/equity of 2.1x magnifies the impact of higher rates or weaker earnings.
Growth risk — sluggish revenue (-2.0%) leaves little margin for execution missteps.
Margin risk — thin profitability (1.4%) is vulnerable to cost or pricing pressure.
Market risk — sector rotation, the economic cycle, and broad sentiment move the stock regardless of fundamentals.
On balance, the fundamentals screen weakly: General Motors is a large-cap consumer discretionary business with shrinking revenue, with modest profitability, and a heavier debt load to watch. It trades at 28.7x earnings, which our model scores Weak (24/100). Weigh this against your own goals and time horizon — this is educational information, not a recommendation.
