27-05-2025

Recruitment agency Michael Page's latest survey shows low or stagnant salaries remain the top driver for resignations among Hong Kong professionals. The agency's managing director, Olga Yung, says employees who switch companies have seen bigger pay increases than those who choose to stay with their current employers that offer regular - if marginal - adjustments. She discuses that and other hiring trends in Hong Kong's finance sector on "Bloomberg: the China Show". (Source: Bloomberg)

General Motors (GM) Stock Plunges Over 7% as Tariff Fears Eclipse Q2 Beat

July 22 - General Motors (NYSE:GM) shares dipped more than 7% on Tuesday as investors focused on growing tariff risks and softer revenue trends rather than the beat in Q2 results. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 2 Warning Sign with GM. General Motors (NYSE:GM) reported adjusted EPS of $2.53, topping analysts' $2.45 estimate, but revenue declined 1.8% year?on?year to $47.12 billion. The sales drop in key North American and China markets raised questions about demand resilience. The company held its full?year EPS guidance at $8.25$10, down from $11$12 earlier this year. That caution, coupled with fresh warnings that U.S. import duties could create a $4 billion, $5 billion headwind in Q3 and Q4, weighed on the shares. GM plans to offset roughly 30% of the tariff impact through factory shifts, targeted cost cuts, and price adjustments, but investors remain skeptical those measures will fully protect margins. CEO Mary Barra highlighted in the shareholder letter that GM is positioning itself to adapt to new trade and tax policies and a rapidly evolving technology environment. Still, longer production lead times and higher component costs under current trade tensions could further pressure profitability. Beyond tariffs, GM's push into electric vehicles and software services, key for future growth, requires continued heavy investment. The automaker expects to launch several new EV models through 2025, but higher R&D and capital spending may keep earnings under pressure. For now, concerns over trade costs and slowing top?line growth have overshadowed the company's quarterly beat and cast doubt on near?term margin stability. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
