RBC Capital analyst Joseph Spak noted that the rating agencies have indicated that the Greenlight Capital's proposed "dividend" shares would be treated as General Motors debt for credit metric purposes, meaning GM would lose its investment grade rating if it pursued Einhorn's plan, which he believes makes the proposal a "non-starter." If GM successfully builds out its mobility solutions and services, Spak thinks a tracking stock on those could be an alternative to unlock value, he tells investors. Spak keeps a Sector Perform rating and $37 price target on GM shares.

After this morning's collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Maryland closed the Port of Baltimore, JPMorgan economist Michael Feroli noted that the port ranks 17th among U.S. ports in tonnage handled, but ranks first for light vehicle imports and is also an important coal export terminal. However, the firm's initial assessment is that this development will "likely only have minimal implications for vehicle inflation" given that many more vehicles are imported over land from Canada and Mexico and that vessels are already being diverted to other East Coast ports. Publicly traded automakers include Ford (F), General Motors (GM), Honda (HMC), Mercedes-Benz Group (DDAIF), Nissan (NSANY), Stellantis (STLA), Tesla (TSLA), Toyota (TM) and Volkswagen (VWAGY).
