General Motors delivered a strong Q3 earnings beat, driven by robust North American profitability, and announced a substantial $20 billion share buyback program. This move highlights the resilience of traditional automakers in the face of EV demand fluctuations and provides a rare defensive anchor in an otherwise weak equity market. The buyback signals management's confidence in cash flow generation and offers a potential floor for the stock amidst broader sector volatility.
