On the news front, Jefferies upgraded General Motors from Hold to Buy and raised its price target from $90 to $99. According to FactSet, the stock now carries an average analyst rating of Overweight with a mean price target of $101.48. Simultaneously, the company's software and services business drew market attention, with OnStar generating $800 million in single-quarter revenue and subscription gross margins reaching 70% — far exceeding the approximately 4 cents per dollar earned from traditional vehicle sales.
