General Motors revealed an adjusted EPS of $2.25 ahead of the $1.04 previously touted. At the same time, revenue figures came in at $32.47 billion vs $32.67 billion forecasted. The company stated that strong figures were expected despite the global semiconductor chip shortage that has caused plant closures.
For the future, GM reiterated its guidance. It expects its EPS to reach a high of $5.25 on revenues of $11 billion. The adjusted cash flow is seen at $2 billion for 2021. The forecasts include the potential impact of the current semiconductor chip shortage.

[…] This remains a challenging period for the company as we emerge from 2020, but the team continues to demonstrate its ability to manage complex situations,” stated the company’s CEO Mary Barra.
