General Motors today revealed that it expects earnings in 2018 to be right about in line with 2017 results. GM is expecting record 2017 EPS diluted-adjusted, and it expects the momentum from that to continue into 2018 with the introduction of a number of new products—namely, the all-new 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and the Silverado 4500HD/5500HD.

“Reshaping the company over the last few years has allowed us to deploy resources and capital to higher-return opportunities including our next-generation trucks and establishing leadership in the future of mobility,” said GM President Dan Ammann. “The all-new full-size truck family that launches this year will generate very strong returns for years to come.”

“GM had a very good 2017 as we continued to transform our company to be more focused, resilient, and profitable,” GM Chairman and CEO Mary Barra said. “We are positioned for another strong year in 2018 and an even better one in 2019.”

Just what did GM do in 2017, you ask?
