General Motors Company has weak revenue growth and a flat capital expenditure trend, average net margins with a stable trend, and irregular cash flows. In addition, we note just enough current assets to cover current liabilities. We also note that the company has exceptional EPS growth working in its favor. However, the firm suffers from slimmer gross margins than its peers and a highly leveraged balance sheet.
