Investors love the company for its stable dividends. However, the forward yield on the company’s shares is only 0.6% and against the background of the yield of the S&P 500 index, which is 2%, it looks low. Despite this, the company’s business model is very simple, but at the same time it is marginal for this segment. This can serve as a driver for the growth of quotations in the future.

Thus, # GM is a mature company, whose management is increasingly looking towards the production of electric cars. This means that the company does not stop developing and improving its product line even at such a late stage. Taking into account the company’s plans and its marginality, # GM will be an excellent long-term investment.
