General Motors' stock surged to an all-time high of $73.93 on December 3, 2025, reflecting growing investor confidence. This milestone coincides with a strategic pivot by the automaker, which includes doubling down on the development of its next-generation V8 engines while reshaping its tech leadership. This move is seen by the market as a 'back to basics' reset, moving away from what some considered money-losing EV ventures. The market has reacted positively to this strategic realignment, with the company's share price experiencing a significant upward trajectory over the past year. The nearly 39 percent one-year total shareholder return suggests that investors are optimistic about GM's renewed focus on its profitable internal combustion engine business alongside its ongoing electric vehicle and autonomous driving initiatives.
