In pre-market activity on the NYSE, GM shares were gaining around 2 percent to trade at $49.90.

For fiscal 2024, the company now expects net income attributable to stockholders of $10.4 billion to $11.1 billion, compared to previous outlook of $10.0 billion to $11.4 billion.

Further, the company now expects adjusted EBIT, a key earnings metric, of $14.0 billion to $15.0 billion, while previous outlook was $13.0 billion to $15.0 billion.

GM said its 2024 financial guidance includes anticipated capital spending of $10.5 billion to $11.5 billion, inclusive of investments in the company's battery cell manufacturing joint ventures.

In its third quarter, net income attributable to common stockholders edged down 0.3 percent to $3.029 billion from last year's $3.038 billion.
