General Motors to Move Stock Listing From NYSE to Nasdaq on Nov. 17
Photo: The New York TimesGeneral Motors announced Tuesday that it will move its stock listing from the New York Stock Exchange to the Nasdaq, ending more than 100 years on the NYSE. The Detroit automaker said its shares are expected to begin trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on Nov. 17 under the existing ticker "GM." Chief Financial Officer Paul Jacobson said in a statement that GM's customer-focused, technology-driven strategy makes Nasdaq a natural home, and he thanked the NYSE for its long partnership. The move could make GM eligible for the Nasdaq-100 Index, though inclusion is not guaranteed. GM shares rose 5% Tuesday. Walmart made a similar switch last year, and Hilton announced its own move to Nasdaq last week. Reuters reported that GM also plans to retool some factories to build hybrid versions of its three-row SUVs.
The New York Times, the left-leaning source, leads with the length of GM's history on the NYSE and describes the Nasdaq as home to many technology companies. Its excerpt carries no executive quotes or market analysis. Right-leaning outlets frame the move as GM's own technology story. Fox Business gives the Nov. 17 date, the Jacobson quote, GM's brands, and its autonomous-driving and EV efforts, while noting that Nasdaq-100 inclusion is not guaranteed. Newsmax's headline calls GM the first legacy automaker on the exchange and says it joins a growing group of companies aligning with the tech-heavy market. All of these sources agree on the basic move and its tech theme. They differ in emphasis: the left stresses the break with tradition, and the right stresses GM's stated tech strategy and the milestone. Semafor, an alternative outlet, takes a distinct skeptical angle, citing GM's failed Cruise effort, its shifting EV plans and its legacy-automaker valuation.
