GM Announces Stock $10 Billion Stock Buyback - They Want To Go Bankrupt
General Motors is cooked.
I stated this for a long time. The company has pulled back its EV plans, citing the economic uncertainty. That could contain some plausibility. However, why do you follow that up with a $10 billion stock buyback?
In this video I discuss how GM is on the express lane for bankruptcy. If we get any kind of global recession, the company will be in the same position ias 2008. WIll the Government bail them out again?

Except that is being phased out of many of the batteries. They are moving away from that for EVs.
Enter another material that involves child labor in some 3rd world nation.
I hope General Motors get their act together and some how start making better decisions with their product line and also their financial decisions because I do not want them to go bankrupt.
The CEO doesnt care. She is going to parachute out just before the company enters bankruptcy. This is a given. It is how these people operate.

Detailed Article:
Task begins by addressing General Motors' recent actions, such as the $10 billion stock buyback and the $9.3 billion expenditure on a contract with the union. He emphasizes the significant financial impact of these decisions, totaling $20 billion, and expresses concern that these choices could push the company towards bankruptcy.
The focus of Task's criticism lies in GM's priorities, particularly the emphasis on stock buybacks over investments in EVs. He points out that while stock buybacks may please shareholders and workers temporarily, the company's retreat from EV investments amidst industry challenges raises red flags. Task highlights the contradiction between pulling back on essential investments like EVs while allocating billions to initiatives like stock buybacks.
The discussion then shifts towards Mary Barra, GM's CEO, with Task expressing disillusionment with her leadership. He accuses Barra of being more concerned with short-term gains and public perception than the long-term success of the company. Task speaks to Barra's unmet promises and lack of focus on transitioning to EVs, suggesting that her tenure may not align with the company's future needs.
Drawing parallels to the 2008 financial crisis, Task warns of the risks associated with prioritizing stock buybacks and dividends over strategic investments. He critiques the use of debt to fund dividends and questions GM's overall financial health, despite their current cash position. Task advocates for Tesla to capitalize on GM's missteps by bolstering their cash reserves to weather potential economic downturns.
In conclusion, Task predicts a grim future for GM if they fail to adapt to changing market dynamics and stresses the importance of sound financial planning and strategic investments in the face of industry disruptions. The video serves as a cautionary tale about the perils of short-sighted financial decisions and the necessity for companies to prioritize long-term sustainability over immediate gains.
