GM cuts 2025 profit forecast due to impact of new US auto tariffs

General Motors lowered its 2025 profit forecast following recent changes to US automotive tariffs. The company now expects an annual adjusted core profit between US$10 billion and US$12.5 billion, down from January’s estimate of US$13.7 billion to US$15.7 billion. Net income is projected to range from US$8.2 billion to US$10.1 billion.

CEO Mary Barra said GM is working closely with the Trump administration and supply chain partners to reduce the impact of tariffs, which currently pose a US$4 billion to US$5 billion exposure. About US$2 billion of that is tied to affordable vehicle imports from South Korea. CFO Paul Jacobson stated that GM aims to offset at least 30% of tariff costs through cost-cutting and increased US production. Barra also announced plans to boost domestic battery module output and light-duty truck production in Indiana.
