General Motors (ISIN US37045V1008) was trading at EUR 69.58 at Lang & Schwarz on October 20, 2026 at 4:04 p.m. CEST, down 5.95 percent versus the Xetra close of October 19, 2026. The move came as the automaker reported third-quarter figures and approved a new USD 20.00 billion share repurchase authorization, according to General Motors.

Buyback adds a capital return signal

The multiyear authorization follows about USD 29.50 billion of repurchases since 2023, according to Reuters. The report said the program has reduced General Motors' share count, supporting per-share results, while also noting that the company did not give a specific completion timetable.

Third-quarter revenue reaches USD 50.02 billion

Revenue for the third quarter of 2026 reached USD 50.02 billion, compared with USD 48.70 billion expected, while adjusted earnings per share came to USD 3.70 against USD 3.63 expected, CNBC reported on October 20, 2026. Adjusted EBIT rose 21.60 percent year over year to USD 4.10 billion, according to Reuters, while North American operations produced USD 3.60 billion of that amount.

Price position and valuation

The euro quote sits EUR 22.27 below the 52-week high of USD 91.85 only as a separate currency comparison is avoided; in its home currency, General Motors traded at USD 77.78 on October 20, 2026 at 10:11 a.m. ET. Its USD 68.20 billion market capitalization and USD 62.36 to USD 91.85 52-week range were recorded on the same date.

General Motors narrowed its full-year 2026 adjusted EBIT guidance to USD 14.50 billion to USD 15.50 billion, from USD 14.00 billion to USD 16.00 billion, while adjusted automotive free cash flow guidance rose to USD 11.50 billion to USD 12.50 billion from USD 9.50 billion to USD 11.50 billion, according to CNBC.

Automotive peers remain in the frame

Ford Motor Company traded at USD 12.05 on October 20, 2026, down 1.03 percent, with a USD 48.10 billion market capitalization. Stellantis traded at USD 4.29 on the same date, unchanged, with a USD 12.40 billion market capitalization. These figures place General Motors' single-day decline well below the two peer moves in the same home-currency market session.

What the figures mean for the stock

The operating figures were stronger than the comparison points, but the price response remained negative during the October 20, 2026 session. The next investor reference is the balance between the USD 20.00 billion repurchase authorization, higher adjusted EBIT, and the company's narrowed full-year range.
