General Motors Raises Full-Year Cash Flow Guidance and Announces $20 Billion Share Buyback

On October 20, 2026, General Motors (GM) announced a raised full-year guidance for adjusted automotive free cash flow to between $11.5 billion and $12.5 billion from the previous midpoint of $10.5 billion. The company also launched a new multiyear share repurchase program worth up to $20 billion, signaling strong confidence in its ability to generate capital while investing in future growth. GM highlighted continued leadership in full-size truck sales and market expansion due to low incentives and disciplined inventory management. Additionally, the automaker reported significant deferred revenue from software services like OnStar and Super Cruise, reaching nearly $7.5 billion for the year with a 40% increase compared to last year. Looking ahead, GM expects higher automotive cash flow as restructuring costs related to electric vehicles decline. However, near-term challenges such as rising commodity prices in steel and copper are expected.
