GM Q1 earnings fall 5.7 percent as it manages billions in tariffs, supplier EV claims

GM said Q1 earnings fell 5.7% as it absorbed billions of dollars in tariff costs and supplier-related EV claims, but it raised its full-year forecast. The improved outlook appears to reflect expectations for some tariff refunds, offsetting near-term pressure on profitability. The update is modestly positive overall despite the tariff and supply-chain headwinds.
