Extended-hours trading shows GM at $76.19, down 7.93% from the regular close of $82.75, signaling a sharp negative reaction to the credit deterioration and earnings miss at the captive finance unit.
GM Financial's credit deterioration directly hits GM's consolidated earnings and signals consumer stress that could weigh on vehicle demand and residual values.
GM Financial's rising credit losses mirror broader auto-finance stress as higher interest rates pressure subprime and near-prime borrowers. The 1.6% net charge-off rate, while elevated, remains below some independent auto lenders but the trajectory is worsening.
Credit quality is deteriorating: provision for loan losses surged 39% YoY, net charge-offs hit 1.6% (up from 1.2%), and delinquencies across all buckets are rising. Operating lease originations are shrinking fast, down 25% YoY, which may signal reduced dealer-floor demand or tighter underwriting.
