General Motors is set to report earnings before the bell. Here's what Wall Street expectsThe General Motors global headquarters at Hudson's Detroit in Detroit, Michigan, US, on Monday, Jan. 12, 2026. DETROIT – General Motors is set to report its first-quarter earnings before the bell Tuesday.

Here's what Wall Street is expecting, based on a survey of analysts by LSEG:

• Earnings per share: $2.62 adjusted
• Revenue: $43.68 billion

Those results would mark a roughly 1% decline in revenue compared with a year earlier and a 5.8% decrease in adjusted earnings per share.

GM's 2025 first-quarter results included $44.02 billion in revenue, net income attributable to stockholders of $2.78 billion, and adjusted earnings before interest and taxes of $3.49 billion.

Aside from earnings and any changes to the automaker's 2026 guidance, investors will be monitoring effects from the Iran war, tariff impacts and additional charges related to the automaker's pullback in all-electric vehicles.

After announcing $7.6 billion in EV write-downs last year, the automaker said it expected additional charges but at a lower level than in 2025.

GM's 2026 earnings guidance is better than its expectations and results from last year. It includes net income attributable to stockholders of between $10.3 billion and $11.7 billion; adjusted earnings before interest and taxes of $13 billion to $15 billion; and EPS of between $11 and $13 for the year.
