Deutsche Bank has upgraded General Motors to a buy rating, citing an attractive entry point following a recent pullback in the stock price. The bank's analysts believe GM's operational resilience and potential growth drivers, including new vehicle launches and software/services expansion, can drive a multi-year re-rating of the stock despite near-term geopolitical concerns related to the Iran war.

Why it matters

GM's stock has dipped over 2% since the start of the Iran war, fueled by worries about rising shipping costs and potential supply shocks. However, Deutsche Bank sees this as an opportunity for investors to gain exposure to GM's long-term growth story, which is underpinned by the company's ability to navigate various market conditions.

The details

Deutsche Bank has upgraded GM to a buy rating and raised its price target to $90, implying 17.1% upside from the previous close. The analysts believe GM's profit drivers, including new vehicle launches, accounting adjustments to reveal lower EV losses, and growth in software/services, can drive further gains despite near-term volatility. The bank views the recent stock pullback as an attractive entry point to gain exposure to GM's potential multi-year re-rating.
