Aristotle Core Equity Fund discussed General Motors Company (NYSE:GM) in its fourth quarter 2025 investor letter:

General Motors Company (NYSE:GM) contributed to performance in the fourth quarter of 2025. Estimates for the year 2026 have been increasing following GM’s third quarter earnings report at the end of October. The company has been more effective in mitigating tariff expenses than originally planned earlier in 2025. The elimination of tax credits for electric vehicles may increase relative demand for internal combustion engine vehicles, which are more profitable for GM than the sales of electric vehicles.”
