Der Bewertungschart von General Motors - das Tool für die Aktienbewertung

ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--U.S. Grandmaster Levon Aronian emerged victorious at the 2025 Saint Louis Rapid & Blitz, conquering 27 rounds of fierce competition in one of the 2025 Grand Chess Tour's (GCT) most electrifying events. “It feels great. I've been playing solidly, and maybe my opponents were more nervous than I was. Winning here in the city where I live, with my family and friends rooting for me, is really special. My fans and loved ones stick with me even when my play isn't perfec.

When thinking about General Motors (GM -0.18%), many investors think back to the financial crisis and government bailout, but that doesn't do justice to the company that GM has become in the years since. GM is doing a lot of things right, and it's quietly becoming arguably the best automotive investment out there.

Shares of Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) lost 0.21% over the past five trading sessions, pausing a rally that’s seen the stock gain nearly 479% since its year-to-date low on April 8. The company’s reported strong Q2 earnings on July 30. The Magnificent Seven mainstay reported EPS of $3.65 versus analysts’ expectations of $3.35, while quarterly revenue came in at $76.44 billion. MSFT is now up 28.25% this year. Earlier in July, the stock had seen multiple price target upgrades. Citi raised its price target on Microsoft to $613 from $605 while keeping a “Buy” rating. Piper Sandler raised its price target for MSFT to $600 from $475 while keeping an “Overweight” rating. On June 5, it was reported that the company will be expanding its AI and cloud investments in Switzerland, committing $400 million to expand its data center infrastructure in the European nation. The additional capacity is expected to support more than 50,000 current customers and expand the availability of AI services for more sectors, including health care, finance government. Microsoft is capitalizing on its Azure platform’s momentum as revenue jumped 33% in FY25 Q3, driven by AI services. When the company last reported earnings, it announced that total revenue rose 13% to $70.1 billion and it generated earnings of $3.46 per share, beating estimates of $3.22 per share. Despite a $800 million charge in Q1 from its investment in General Motors‘ (NYSE:GM) Cruise robotaxi initiative that the automaker subsequently shutdown, Microsoft’s focus on AI and cloud resilience continues to fuel optimism. However, its decision earlier in May fire 6,000 employees — or 3% of its workforce — signals the tech giant is serious about cost discipline amid economic uncertainty. With analysts eyeing sustained cloud demand, 24/7 Wall St. conducted analysis to explore whether Microsoft can maintain its upward trajectory and drive long-term growth. Key Points in This Article: Microsoft is dedicating significant capex to AI and cloud infrastructure in order to compete with other tech firms. Microsoft’s gaming segment grew 44% last year, providing significant revenue to complement its software, cloud and AI business lines.

It has a software stock that could ride dominance in AI to returns of 10x or more. Why Invest in Microsoft Microsoft navigates challenges, but remains a prime investment due to its AI and cloud dominance. Third-quarter earnings showcased robust demand for its Intelligent Cloud segment, though tariff risks linger. Microsoft’s $80 billion cash reserve fuels its $80 billion investments in cloud and AI infrastructure, with over half in the U.S. Its Microsoft 365 Copilot, adopted by over 70% of Fortune 500 firms, drives productivity revenue, positioning Microsoft to capture the AI market’s 37% compounded annual growth predicted through 2030. Similarly, partnerships with Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) for multi-cloud solutions bolster its competitiveness against Amazon‘s (NASDAQ:AMZN) AWS. When Microsoft last reported earnings, EPS beat by 7.40% and revenue beat by 2.37%. The EPS beat marked the 15th time in the past 16 quarters that the company surpassed estimates, with EPS coming in at $3.46 versus the consensus forecast of $3.20. Microsoft (MSFT) As a Company Microsoft reported a gross profit of $49.8 billion, up 14% year-over-year, with gross margins at 68%, driven by strong cloud and AI demand. The company committed to continuing spending on capital expenditures, focusing on AI data center expansion to meet enterprise needs. Analysts expect Q4 capex to remain elevated at $16 billion to $17 billion to support Microsoft’s cloud infrastructure growth. Tariff uncertainties do pose risks, even with the pause on China, as supply chain cost pressures for server hardware are not eliminated. Microsoft’s operating income of $32 billion was tempered by a 5% rise in operating expenses, reflecting heavy AI R&D investments. Despite no revenue from its $13 billion OpenAI stake, Microsoft reported $42.4 billion in Microsoft Cloud revenue, up 20% year-over-year. Beyond cloud, Microsoft’s gaming segment grew 44% with 43 points of the gain coming from its acquisition of Activision, but bolstered by Xbox content and Bethesda’s Starfield expansion. A partnership with Oracle for multicloud solutions strengthens its enterprise offerings, further diversifying its revenue. Wall Street projects Q4 revenue of $73.8 billion, up 14%, driven by Microsoft’s AI and cloud momentum. Microsoft As a Stock Broadly, Wall Street analysts’ remain bullish, with 30 of 33 analysts covering MSFT assigning it a “Buy” rating, three assigning it a “Hold” rating and zero assigning it a “Sell” rating. Overall, the stock receives a consensus “Strong Buy” rating. Wall Street’s price targets cover a significant range, spanning $475 per share on the low end to $613 per share on the high end. The median one-year price target for MSFT is $611.28, which represents 13.87% potential upside from today’s share price. Institutional ownership currently stands at 73.05%, with three of the four largest buy-side firms — Vanguard, BlackRock and State Street — holding a collective 1.570 billion shares of Microsoft. Estimate Price Target %Change From Current Price Low $520 -0.24% Median $623.34 19.57% High $675 29.48% Microsoft (MSFT) Stock Prediction in 2025 Microsoft’s 33% Azure growth and 20% cloud revenue increase in Q3 position it for AI market gains. However, $20 billion quarterly capex and tariff risks require caution. Its $80 billion cash reserve and Oracle partnership offer stability, making MSFT stock a buy for growth investors, even as valuation concerns linger. 24/7 Wall St.’s price target for Microsoft is $563.64, implying downside potential of 7.98% from the stock’s current price. This cautious target reflects Azure’s strength and Q4 revenue guidance of $73.7 billion, balanced against the need for higher capex spending and potential supply chain disruptions, positioning it at a realistic estimate of its leading presence in the space.The post Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) Stock Price Prediction for 2025: Where Will It Be in 1 Year appeared first on 24/7 Wall St..

Dollar General has issued a nationwide recall of its Clover Valley 8-ounce instant coffee after a customer reported finding glass fragments in the product, according to the FDA. Clover Valley is working alongside the FDA to determine the source of the contamination. The recall excludes Hawaii and Alaska and only applies to specific lot. The affected products include numbers L-5163, L-5164, and L-5165 with best-by dates of December 13–14, 2026. They also include UPC 876941004069, which is printed near the bottle’s neck. This recall is considered serious because ingesting glass can lead to injuries to the mouth, throat, or intestines. Fortunately, no injuries have been reported. Product recalls happen after a certain product is found to be defective, contaminated, or unsafe in some ways. While recalls happen, companies should act swiftly to protect their consumers — and their brands. Looking at the history of product recalls, some stand out more than others — and not for good reasons. Here, 24/7 Wall St. put together a list of some of the biggest recalls of all time. To do so, we used data from Reddit, SI Live, and Thomas Net. This list is ordered in descending order from smallest to largest recalls. This post was updated on August 14, 2025 to include Clover Valley’s recent recall. Why Is This Important? Recalls can be dangerous to consumers and businesses if not handled properly. As one might suspect, anytime a recall takes place, it’s as much of a potential stock hit as a public relations one. In the case of many recalls on this list, the company’s valuations fell significantly, and in at least one case, it left the company bankrupt and out of business. For these reasons, this topic aligns perfectly with our desire to provide you with information on financial health — and to let you know what companies you might want to avoid. 12. Keurig Coffee Machines Keurig Coffee machines are a surprising addition to this list. Recall size: 7.2 million Keurig received some credit for voluntarily recalling over 7 million of its Mini Plus single-serve units. The affected models, K10 and B31, were manufactured between 2009 and 2014. At the time of the recall, Keurig issued a notice asking customers not to use and to stay away from its machines until a fix had been made available. The recall centered around the machines errantly spraying burning hot liquid that could potentially land on someone’s skin, and had received at least 200 reports of this incident taking place. 11. Toyota and Lexus Toyota and Lexus played a major role in one of the largest recalls ever. Recall size: 8.1 million In 2010, Toyota was at the center of a massive recall affecting over 8.1 million Toyota and Lexus models. After receiving multiple reports of floor mats sticking to acceleration pedals, the U.S. government forced Toyota to recall its vehicles. Sadly, this was only after learning that at least five deaths could be attributed to this issue. The resulting recall would cost Toyota at least $2 billion in lost value and another $1.2 billion to settle a lawsuit with the Justice Department. *Editor’s note: A previous version of this story incorrectly stated 89 deaths instead of 5. 10. Zen Magnets Magnetic ball playsets were recalled after kids swallowed them. Recall size: 10 million In August 2021, the Zen Magnets and Neoballs Magnets playsets were recalled after complaints started to surface about children swallowing the magnetic balls. Consumers were advised to stop playing with the units immediately after at least two children required surgery to remove the magnets, which resulted in part of their intestines being removed as well. There was also a report of a 19-month-old girl who passed away as a result of swallowing one of the magnets that were part of the Zen sets. 9. Volkswagen “Dieselgate” The Volkswagen Dieselgate recall was a huge black eye for the brand. Recall size: 11 million One of the most expensive recalls in history, “Dieselgate” (as it’s commonly known) happened when Volkswagen was accused of tricking U.S. vehicle emission standards. With more than 11 million vehicles recalled, Volkswagen had to spend around $18.3 billion to buy back vehicles from owners who could no longer drive a vehicle that would not pass vehicle emission standards, which it had already cheated once before. The Environmental Protection Agency made its determination around Volkswagen’s trickery around September 2015 and forced the recall. 8. Schneider Electric Schneider Electric was forced to issue a blanket recall for surge protectors. Recall size: 15 million Electric giant Schneider Electric had to recall surge protectors that would overheat or melt. Starting in October 2013, the recall returned to models produced as far back as 2003, or one full decade before the recall was uninitiated. While Schneider Electric indicates the number of incidents was rare and only occurred in 0.01% of all surge protectors, it doesn’t change the reality that over 700 complaints were received by the Consumer Protection Agency. 7. Ikea Dressers Ikea had to recall millions of dressers that posed a risk to small children. Recall size: 17 million One of the most shocking recalls of all time is centered around furniture giant Ikea. While the issue was first identified in June 2016, it wasn’t until after November 2017 that the recall began in earnest. The focal point surrounded the popular Malm dresser lineup, which had tipped over and injured at least 144 children and killed at least eight children. Ikea reportedly received at least 300 complaints and settled lawsuits for up to $46 million for the affected families. Still, Ikea is accused of knowing about the problem and failing to notify customers. 6. Firestone Tires The recall of Firestone tires alongside Ford was a major gamble for both brands. Recall size: 23 million In 2000, Firestone Tire and Rubber Company found itself in a situation where it had to work with Ford to recall over 23 million tires in over 19 million vehicles. Faulty tires were said to be responsible for over 271 deaths and 800 injuries. The resulting impact on Bridgestone, the parent company of Firestone, would halve the company’s market value. At the same time, Ford fired many executives who publicly accused both companies of blame. 5. General Motors Ignition Switches While GM recovered, there is no doubt that 30.4 million recalls were tough on the bottom line. Recall size: 30.4 million In one of the largest recalls ever from the automobile industry, General Motors had to recall 30.4 million cars worldwide after learning that 800,000 of its vehicles suffered from faulty ignition switches. This faulty switch could result in the engine shutting off without warning, even while driving. As the weeks passed, GM had to bring the recall to more than 30.4 million cars, extending the recall for months. With over 124 deaths associated with the issue, the recall couldn’t have happened fast enough. 4. Tylenol Tylenol is one of the most popular medicines on the market. Recall size: 31 million Johnson & Johnson recalled Tylenol in 1982. At the time, it was one of the most shocking and prominent recalls in U.S. history. While the company’s recall of 31 million bottles of Tylenol sent consumers into a frenzy, it remains a textbook study on the ideal way to handle a product recall and come out stronger. Even though it cost the company over $100 million, the company’s proactive steps no doubt saved the company and the Tylenol brand from failure. 3. McDonald’s Step-iT Wristband Recalling 33 million wristbands must have been tough for McDonald’s balance sheet. Recall size: 33 million In August 2016, McDonald’s issued a massive recall of its Step-iT activity wristband, which was part of a Happy Meal offer. Following more than 70 reports of burning and seven reports of blisters, the company immediately stopped distributing the wristbands. McDonald’s indicated that it had received “limited reports” of skin irritations that “may be associated with wearing the band,” but also shared that not many wristbands had actually been introduced to customers. McDonald’s hoped introducing the wristband would change the perception of Happy Meals as unhealthy — but the unfortunate recalls did little to up its reputation. 2. Kidde Fire Extinguisher A defective fire extinguisher can be the difference between life and death. Recall size: 37.8 million After a series of recalls starting with smoke alarms in September 2014, Kidde’s recall troubles went from bad to worse in November 2017. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a recall notice for 134 models of Kidde fire extinguishers after discovering they could fail to discharge correctly when used. The recall involved over 37.8 million fire extinguishers, and it was so deep that it went back to products Kidde made in the 1970s. At least one death has been attributed to the failure. 1. Takata Airbags The biggest recall of all time was for Takata airbags. Recall size: 67 million Takata’s airbag recall was both the largest recall of all time, and the most expensive. Almost all of the company’s airbags from 2002 to 2015 were recalled. The recall was so large that it spread across 20 carmakers, including (but not limited to) Honda, Toyota, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Nissan, and Mazda. In total, this recall cost Takata $24 billion. The company went bankrupt as a result in January 2024 and has since closed up shop.The post Instant Coffee Contaminated with Glass, Plus Unprecedented Recalls That Cost Companies Billions appeared first on 24/7 Wall St..

It's been easy to overlook since many investors have the financial crisis and the automaker's bailout burned into their minds -- and that's fair. But General Motors (GM 1.08%) has been pouring investments into its brands and electric vehicles (EVs) and buying back billions of dollars of its stock.
