General Motors' third-quarter results easily beat analyst expectations on the back of resolute shoppers who continue to spring for pricey pickups and SUVs.
The company on Tuesday said quarterly earnings before interest and tax, not including one-time items (adjusted EBIT) rose 22% from a year earlier, to $4.1 billion. That amounted to $3.70 per share, topping analyst expectations of $3.63, according to LSEG data.
