GM raises 2026 guidance amid $500 million tariff refund, topping Wall Street’s earnings expectations
GM said the refund would lift adjusted EBIT guidance to $13.5 billion to $15.5 billion after first-quarter profit and revenue topped Wall Street estimates.
- General Motors expects a $500 million refund on Monday after the Supreme Court ruled that tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act were illegal.

- Many other tariffs remain in effect including Section 232 duties under the Trade Expansion Act, and the administration indicated more new duties are on the way.
