GM is navigating a highly capital-intensive transition to EV and AV models while managing the cyclicality of its legacy ICE business. The severe discount against external street consensus ($94.08) is fully intentional and bridged by structurally overweighting Owner Earnings, which enforces a steep penalty for the EV transition's massive maintenance capex that unadjusted EPS multipliers ignore. Fair value range: low $28.1, high $82.0, with mid-point at $51.8.

§1 Yönetici özeti
We initiate GM with a Sell rating and a $51.82 fair value.
The market focuses on EPS while ignoring severe negative FCFF (-$4.18B) from the EV transition.
A 43% weight on Owner Earnings enforces a structural penalty for high CapEx-to-D&A (1.48x).
We see 34% downside to current prices as the capital cycle overwhelms near-term earnings.
