• GM's financial metrics have yet to stand out relative to its competitors, and there is no indication of such in the shorter term.
• Rising commodity prices would have an inevitable impact on gross profit, with worrying signs of market share reduction in the past few years.
• Management's forward-looking views and subsequent scale-up R&D investments in EV and AV can benefit shareholders in the middle to long term.
