+1.3%
GM's first quarter 2026 results came in ahead of expectations on the earnings line, with EBIT-adjusted of $4.3 billion and a North American EBIT margin of 10.1%, though approximately 1.5 points of that margin reflected a one-time accounting benefit from a Supreme Court ruling on IEFA tariff overpayments from prior periods. Stripping that out, the underlying North American margin of 8.6% still represents a solid start toward management's full-year 8%-10% target, and the core operating performance, on warranty, EV losses, regulatory costs, and expense discipline, was described as tracking ahead of internal expectations even before the tariff adjustment.
