What believers are saying

  • Systems engineers get architecture ownership: GM's Core OS staff role shapes foundations across Linux, Android and QNX.
  • Affordable SUVs find buyers: GM reported record quarterly small-SUV sales in October 2026, led by Trax and Envista.

What critics are saying

  • China profits depend on partners: GM shares its vehicle ventures with SAIC amid excess capacity and domestic competition.

GM's $20B buyback wins Wall Street praise but draws UAW fury over "mass looting

General Motors' board authorised a $20 billion multiyear share buyback on October 20, the largest in the company's history. Chief executive officer Mary Barra said the shares are undervalued and the move shows the board's commitment to returning cash to shareholders. United Auto Workers (UAW) President Shawn Fain condemned the plan, saying it comes while "tens of thousands of autoworkers have no retirement security." He called buybacks "legalized mass looting" and said the UAW will remember it when contract talks resume in 2028. GM said it has reinvested more than $100 billion in the business since 2020. It has repurchased $42.7 billion of shares since 2015. Its shares closed at $77.10 on October 20, down 6.8%.

How to earn $500 a month from GM stock: it takes 8,333 shares, about $700K, before Q3 earnings
