(BRK)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, led by fabled investor Warren Buffett, also fondly known as The Oracle of Omaha, owns 22 million<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/quotes.ino.com\/charting\/?s=NYSE_GM\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">General Motors Company (GM)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> shares, equating to a<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/berkshire-hathaway-portfolio\/#:~:text=General%20Motors%20Co,0.2%25\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1.6% stake<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the legacy U.S. automaker.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A fundamentally robust company such as GM deserves its spot in a conglomerate's portfolio with a reputation for acquiring parts or the entirety of businesses that possess enduring competitive advantages and are likely to be aided by favorable economics in the long run.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the back of a strong performance in the fiscal 2023 second quarter, the Detroit-headquartered auto giant has raised its guidance for 2023. The company raised its net income expectations for the fiscal from a high end of $9.9 billion to a high end of $10.7 billion. Its automotive division\u2019s free cash flow is also expected to come between $7 billion and $9 billion, up from $5.5 billion to $7.5 billion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, GM said it is increasing cost-cutting measures through next year and now plans to cut $3 billion in expenditures compared with previous guidance of $2 billion. The financial outperformance driven by the booming traditional automotive business powered by highly profitable trucks and SUVs has enabled the company to ramp up its presence in the electric vehicle (EV) segment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consequently, GM reiterated that it would double EV production in the year's second half to 100,000 units. In addition to the long-awaited introduction of an electric Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck and EV versions of Chevy\u2019s Equinox crossover and Blazer compact sport-utility vehicle, the company says it will reach 400,000 cumulative units of EV production by early 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GM also anticipates that its EV business will reach profitability by 2025, with an EV production capacity of 1 million units in North America and EV revenue of roughly $50 billion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, the company is making itself future-ready by fixing supply-chain issues with measures such as a<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2023\/08\/16\/gm-investing-in-mitra-chem-startup-building-cheaper-lfp-ev-batteries.html\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$60 million investment round in Mitra Chem<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a California startup working on cheaper EV batteries. Mitra Chem aims to develop low-cost lithium iron phosphate batteries that can hold more power than current versions. If it\u2019s successful, its batteries could appear in GM\u2019s EVs later this decade.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GM is also developing its Ultium EV platform, which will help reduce costs and improve profitability. In addition, GM is diversifying to more potentially lucrative businesses such as Cruise, its driverless cab service, and BrightDrop, which is focused on helping businesses meet consumer demand for last-mile services.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All the above factors make GM an apparently solid bet in the automotive sector and a far cry from cash-strapped and debt-burdened EV upstarts that are struggling to keep themselves afloat amid increased borrowing cost due to sustained interest-rate hikes and EV price war that has been waged by<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/quotes.ino.com\/charting\/?s=NASDAQ_TSLA\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tesla, Inc.

As far as the latter is concerned, carmakers in the U.S. and Europe are once again under siege.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, this time around, the war is on climate change, the goal is rapid decarbonization and energy transition, the battleground is smart, connected, and electric mobility solutions, and the invaders are from the other side of the Pacific, beyond the Sea of Japan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recently, after<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/quotes.ino.com\/charting\/?s=NASDAQ_BYDDY\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BYD Company Limited (BYDDY)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> delivered its five millionth electric vehicle, its founder Wang Chuanfu declared the \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/news\/world\/chinese-electric-car-giant-declares-war-on-western-rivals\/ar-AA1f9rEy?ocid=msedgntp&amp;cvid=3f2be49018b44589ad3476906e4461ca&amp;ei=8\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">time has come for Chinese brands<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u201d And he has good reason to be optimistic.
