Investors are showing concern about the ratification of new contracts at General Motors (GM) following the end of the United Auto Workers’ strike. However, there is no need to worry. While GM stock closed down 0.2%, Ford Motor and Stellantis saw gains. The percentage of ‘yes’ votes for the deal at GM is lower compared to Ford and Stellantis, but GM only needs about 6,350 votes to ratify the deal. Ratification looks likely at GM, Ford, and Stellantis, and a renewed strike is unlikely. Overall, investors should not be overly concerned about the UAW vote’s impact on GM’s stock performance.
