GM and Shell have already announced ambitious goals towards addressing greenhouse emissions. The automaker, for instance, plans to be carbon-neutral on its operations and products by 2040. It has also committed to aligning its targets with the ambitious goals of the Paris Agreement.
“Addressing climate change requires incredible scale. At GM, we’re committed to helping bring everybody in on a more sustainable future,” said GM’s Chief Sustainability Officer, Kristen Siemen.
Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas recently reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with an $80 price target, implying 33.07% upside potential to current levels.
The reaffirmation of the Buy rating comes after GM committed $35 billion to EV and AV investments by 2030. The analyst is also impressed by the company’s plans for two new U.S.-based battery gigafactories.
Consensus among analysts is a Strong Buy based on 12 Buys and 2 Holds. The average General Motors analyst price target of $71.71 implies 19.28% upside potential to current levels.
GM scores a “Perfect 10” on TipRanks’ Smart Score rating system, indicating that the stock has strong potential to outperform market expectations.
