GM Reports $48.59 Billion Quarter as Wall Street Watches Earnings

General Motors booked $48.59 billion in third-quarter 2025 revenue, with net income attributable to stockholders of $1.3 billion and adjusted EPS of $2.80, according to the company's results released ahead of the opening bell.

The numbers land as the sharpest concrete measures of GM's year so far. Revenue of $48.59 billion anchors the quarter. Net income of $1.3 billion shows what stockholders actually kept. The $2.80 adjusted EPS strips out one-off items and gives Wall Street its preferred comparison line.

GM scheduled the release before the market opened, a timing choice that puts the figures in front of traders before the session's first trades. Pre-market reporting is standard for the Detroit automaker, and it means analysts got the revenue, net income and adjusted EPS numbers all at once rather than in stages.

What do the headline numbers tell investors?

Revenue of $48.59 billion is the top-line measure of everything GM sold and booked in the quarter. The $1.3 billion figure is net income attributable to stockholders — the slice of profit that belongs to shareholders after deducting the portions owed to non-controlling interests.

The adjusted EPS of $2.80 is the number most analysts anchor to. It excludes items the company and the Street treat as noise, such as one-time charges or accounting adjustments. That makes it the cleanest basis for comparing GM's quarter against both prior quarters and rivals.

Three figures define the release:

• Revenue: $48.59 billion
• Net income attributable to stockholders: $1.3 billion
• Adjusted EPS: $2.80

Why does the timing matter?

Reporting before the bell means the market digests GM's numbers in a single pre-open window. Traders price the results into the stock at the open rather than reacting mid-session. For a company of GM's size — with revenue running near $48.6 billion in a single quarter — the pre-market slot concentrates attention on the three headline figures.

The gap between the top line and the bottom line is the story analysts will pick apart. A $48.59 billion revenue base producing $1.3 billion in stockholder net income implies thin margins on that income measure, which is why the adjusted EPS figure of $2.80 carries so much weight in how the quarter gets graded.

What comes next for GM?

Wall Street had set its expectations before the release, and the reported trio — $48.59 billion in revenue, $1.3 billion in net income attributable to stockholders, $2.80 adjusted EPS — now becomes the baseline for the next round of estimates. How the numbers landed against those expectations will drive the immediate stock reaction and shape analyst revisions in the days ahead.
