General Motors (GM) has secured 100% of the lithium output from Phase 1 of the Thacker Pass mine for 20 years, ensuring battery-grade lithium supply sufficient for up to 1 million electric vehicles annually. GM's Q2 2026 financial results exceeded expectations with $48 billion in revenue, $3.57 adjusted EPS, and $5 billion in free cash flow, leading to an upward revision of its 2026 guidance. Despite near-term challenges such as tariffs, commodity inflation, and retooling costs, GM remains strategically strong due to its dominant domestic lithium supply, robust internal combustion engine truck and SUV sales, and aggressive shareholder returns. The analyst rates GM as Hold, citing valuation expansion and short-term headwinds but positive positioning for 2027–2028 and ongoing share buybacks.
