Hail to the King Baby... and GM's Earnings!

Alright you primitive screwheads listen up! Duke Nukem here reporting live from the battlefield of Wall Street. GM's about to drop their first quarter earnings and everyone's got their eyes glued to the screen. But let's be real nobody cares about the quarterly report when there's a bigger monster lurking in the shadows: Trump's damn tariffs! They're like those alien bastards always messing with my plans. GM better have a plan or it's gonna be a long day.

Tariffs? Time to Kick Some Gum and Chew Ass!

These tariffs are messing with everyone's mojo even Wall Street's. Analysts are downgrading GM faster than I can reload my shotgun. But here's the thing: GM's still got some juice. They're tweaking their production playing it cool but you know they're sweating bullets behind closed doors. It's like facing down a Cyberdemon with a pea shooter. You gotta be smart you gotta be tough and you gotta have a damn good strategy.

First Quarter Frenzy: Eat Your Heart Out!

Word on the street is that GM might actually crush those first quarter estimates. People are panic buying cars like they're going out of style – probably because they might be thanks to those freakin' tariffs. So GM might get a temporary boost but the long game is where the real challenge lies. It's like getting a power up just before the boss fight – feels good but don't get cocky!

Mary Barra vs. The Tariff Titans: 'Come Get Some!'

GM's CEO Mary Barra says they can handle up to half of the tariff damage. Half? That's like saying you can only stop half the alien invasion! I'd aim for 100% but hey I'm Duke Nukem. The point is they need to figure out how to absorb those extra costs without making us the consumers pay through the nose. 'Cause nobody messes with my ride!

2025 Vision: Is GM Seeing Straight or Just Seeing Stars?

GM's got some lofty goals for 2025. Billions in net income billions in free cash flow... sounds like a plan to me. But can they pull it off with these tariffs breathing down their necks? That's the million dollar question or should I say the multi billion dollar question? Better buckle up folks because this ride's about to get bumpy!

Downgrades and Dogfights: GM's Stock Under Siege!

Deutsche Bank UBS Barclays Bernstein ... sounds like a bunch of lawyers instead of people who know what they're doing. They're all downgrading GM's stock like it's going out of style. But GM's still got a pulse and a price target that’s high enough to get my attention. Will they pull through and prove the doubters wrong? Only time will tell but one thing's for sure: this is gonna be fun to watch. Now if you excuse me I have to go get a car and some bubblegum.
