Jim Cramer on General Motors: “I Want You to Invest in Mary Barra”

General Motors Company (NYSE:GM) was among Jim Cramer’s recent stock calls on Mad Money. Mentioning that they wish to invest in the automotive sector, a club member inquired whether they should focus on electric-vehicle segments or traditional internal-combustion-engine markets. Cramer replied:

I’ll tell you something, you want to invest in, this is the way I look at the autos… but I want you to invest in Mary Barra. Mary Barra is amazing. She’s an incredible person who is a great CEO, the great CEO of General Motors. If she weren’t running GM, I don’t know if I would ever recommend it because I think she’s that sensational. You buy the stock of General Motors and don’t worry, she’ll take care of whether it should be electric or not. She’s amazing.

General Motors Company (NYSE:GM) manufactures vehicles and parts under brands such as Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick, and GMC. During the January 27 episode, Cramer noted that the company was a “huge beneficiary of less stringent environmental regulations,” as he commented:

… In the last 24 hours, we’ve seen the president’s policies bolstering some domestic manufacturers. GM, it reported a huge profit boost today, sharply better than expected. Some of that’s because GM has a great car and truck lineup. They’ve had the highest full-year market share in a decade, but GM’s also been a huge beneficiary of less stringent environmental regulations, allowing the company to sell popular gas guzzlers, no fines, no purchases of EV credits. And while it wasn’t stressed, GM certainly benefits from tariffs on importing cars. GM CEO, Mary Barra, listen, time for you to take a victory lap. You’re offering the best cars and trucks at the best prices. You deserve a huge amount of credit. And I agree with Barra when she says 2026 will be even better. And we have to credit this business environment and the president’s support for some of that success. Shareholders did well. GM stock jumped almost $7 or 8.75%.
