Read MoreHide Full Article
In its upcoming report, General Motors Company (GM - Free Report) is predicted by Wall Street analysts to post quarterly earnings of $2.06 per share, reflecting a decline of 6.8% compared to the same period last year. Revenues are forecasted to be $40.61 billion, representing a year-over-year increase of 1.6%.
The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 2.5% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. This reflects how the analysts covering the stock have collectively reevaluated their initial estimates during this timeframe.
