What to watch for:GM SALES:Earlier in October, GM reported sales in Q3 totaling 670,974 vehicles, a decline of 6% compared with the same period a year earlier, which, "reflected the much smaller EV market and discontinued vehicles. However, sales of GM's highest volume vehicles were in line with the outstanding level of a year ago." "Our business is performing very well, the launch of our next-generation full-size pickup trucks is on track, and we are making investments in new vehicles, innovative technologies, and our U.S. manufacturing footprint to drive our next phase of growth," said Duncan Aldred, President of GM North America.GM GUIDANCE:Along with its Q2 earnings, the company raised its FY26 adjusted EPS guidance to $12.00-$14.00 from $11.50-$13.50.

For U.S. OEMs, resilient SAAR supports pricing power and higher average transaction prices heading into the quarter, the analyst said, adding that a potential US-Mexico bilateral trade agreement before year-end could represent meaningful upside. The firm further noted that for western suppliers, current valuations look compelling, though China remains the key focus following S&P's latest China production forecast cut.JPMorgan lowered the firm's price target on GM to $110 from $120 and kept an Overweight rating on the shares. The firm sees a "muted setup" for Ford and GM into the Q3 earnings reports, saying preliminary 2027 outlook commentary "is likely to present a cautious tone." JPMorgan expects in-line to slightly better Q3 prints, but said investor focus is likely to be on 2027 estimate revisions, and it does not see the results driving meaningful upside.FORD SALES:In August, Ford reported total U.S. vehicle sales in July of 169,951 were down 10.2% from 189,313 in the same month of last year.

Q3 sales totaled 509,764 vehicles, down 6.6%, reflecting the planned portfolio changes. Adjusting for Escape and Corsair, Ford's total vehicle sales volume was essentially unchanged compared with an industry decline of about 1%. "We delivered a solid quarter and continued to gain retail share adjusted for the planned sunset of Escape and Corsair," said Andrew Frick, president, Ford Blue and Model e.FORD GUIDANCE:Along with its Q2 results, Ford raised its FY26 adjusted EBIT view to $10B-$11B from $8.5B-$10.5B. The company said, "Building on strong first-half results, the company is raising full-year 2026 guidance. Ford now expects the following for full-year 2026: Adjusted EBIT of $10B to $11B; free cash flow of $6B to $7B which now includes expected 2026 cash recovery of approximately $500M of the $1.3B IEEPA reimbursement recorded in the first quarter; Capital expenditures of $9.5B to $10.5B, unchanged from prior guidance. By segment, Ford now expects: Ford Blue EBIT of $5B to $5.5B; Ford Pro EBIT of $7B to $7.5B; Ford Model e loss of approximately $4B, this includes about $1B in incremental investment for the Universal Electric Vehicle platform and Ford Energy, mostly weighted toward the second half of the year; Ford Credit earnings before taxes above $2.5B."FORD PARTNERSHIPS, INITIATIVES:In July, Micron and Ford announced a long-term strategic customer agreement to strengthen the supply of memory and storage solutions supporting Ford's next-generation vehicle production.

The firm expects in-line to slightly better Q3 prints.UBS lowered the firm's price target on Ford to $15 from $17 and kept a Buy rating on the shares.
