GM’s V-8 engines will ‘continue to be around for a while,’ CFO says – Yahoo Finance

GM (GM) may be targeting $50 billion in sales from electric vehicles by 2025, but the automaker still sees a future where it banks money from good old-fashioned gas-powered V-8 engines.

“We continue to believe that the ICE [internal combustion engine] portfolio has really strong value,” GM CFO Paul Jacobson said on Yahoo Finance Live (video above). “In fact, it’s funding the transformation [to EVs]. … They’re going to continue to be around for a while as we transform our vehicles into 100% EVs by 2035.”

To fuel further sales of V-8-powered autos, Jacobson signed off on a huge long-term investment plan earlier this month.

GM said it will invest $854 million into a variety of plants to build its sixth generation of small-block V-8 engines. The automaker’s small-block V-8 dates back to 1954, and its fifth generation of the engine debuted in 2013.

“There’s a lot of efficiencies that are coming in those new engines,” added Jacobson, a Corvette-turned-Camaro ZL1 owner.

Those V-8 engines helped the automaker report a jump in profits in the fourth quarter, driven by record revenue and strong demand.

For the full year, the company reported profits of $14.5 billion, near the high end of its forecast.

Here is how GM performed compared to Wall Street estimates:

For 2023, GM is forecasting adjusted EBIT of $10.5 billion-$12.5 billion and adjusted EPS of $6.00-$7.00. Analysts had been expecting $5.70 a share.

Shares of GM popped 8% on Friday, and the company’s ticker page was the most visited on Yahoo Finance.
