Trump’s Tariffs Trigger General Motors Selloff | Nemo

Name of opportunity: 👀

General Motors Co.

Incoming tariffs have had an impact 📉

General Motors has gone down in price slightly by 0.08% today, and by 9.06% in the past week. This dip may be to do with the new tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada, which is where General Motors produces over one third of its products. However, the stock remains a ‘buy’ according to analysts.

General Motors (GM) is an income stock, meaning it gives out a portion of its profits to shareholders through dividend payments. GM’s current dividend yield is 0.88%, which means if you invested $1000, you might be paid $8.80 a year in dividends (based on the last 12 months).

How hot is this investment opportunity? 🔥🔥🔥

Analysts predict the price of General Motors Co. might increase from $49.46 to $57.51 in the next 12 months. If you invested $1000, you might profit $162.83.

Trump is set to impose a 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico, and a 10% tariff on China. These tariffs impact General Motors, as they rely on imports from these countries. This might have sparked investor fear as it may become more expensive for GM to manufacture their products under new tariffs, and they may have to adjust their business strategies going forward.

General Motors won’t be the only affected by these tariffs, the automotive industry as a whole may be impacted by these new rules regarding imports from key countries involved in this industry.

However, analysts are still recommending General Motors as a ‘buy’. This might be because the company recently exceeded expectations in its most recent earnings report, and is performing well financially with substantial revenue and cash flow per share. The company has also recently been buying back shares, reducing the shares available on the market by 25% in the last three years - stock repurchases can increase the value of the shares owned by investors. Will GM continue to repurchase shares at this rate? Investors might potentially stand to benefit if the buyback continues.
