General Motors is moving its stock listing from the New York Stock Exchange to Nasdaq. The share will retain the ticker GM and is due to begin trading on Nasdaq from 17 November.
GM announced the planned move on Tuesday. According to the company, the final trading day on the New York Stock Exchange will be 16 November; from the following trading day, the share will be listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.
The carmaker says Nasdaq is a better fit for its technology-focused strategy. According to GM, the company is investing in electric vehicles, software and automated driving technology, but still also sells vehicles with combustion engines. The exchange switch changes nothing about the company’s activities or ownership.
A Nasdaq listing could make GM eligible for inclusion in the Nasdaq-100 index. That would not mean automatic admission. Index providers apply their own criteria and may later decide whether or not to include the share.
Inclusion in a major index can generate additional demand for a share from funds that track the index. That possible effect is a financial-market reaction, not a commitment from Nasdaq or a forecast of the share price. The exchange switch itself does not imply any change in GM’s earnings expectations.
GM will trade on Nasdaq alongside many technology companies. The company is using that positioning to encourage investors to look more clearly at software, electric cars and other technology within its business. Whether investors find that strategy convincing will ultimately depend mainly on results and prospects.
For Dutch readers, the move is chiefly relevant as a signal of how major carmakers present themselves on the capital market. European suppliers and investors may follow the decision, but the announcement does not indicate that GM is moving factories, jobs or production to another country as a result.
The company did not provide a new financial forecast when announcing the move. The news is therefore about GM’s listing and positioning, not about a change in its revenue or earnings outlook.
