General Motors Co. predicted robust sales of new trucks and big SUV models will help it avert the kind of earnings decline this year that its rivals are bracing for.
Adjusted earnings per share will be roughly level with 2019 when excluding the effects of last year’s 40-day labor strike and other factors, GM said in a statement Wednesday. Its projected range of $5.75 to $6.25 a share compared with analysts’ average estimate for $6.24.
