$1.1B

General Motors said it took a whopping $1.1 billion hit from tariffs in the last quarter, as the true cost of the trade war comes into view across the industry.

While the additional tariff costs weighed on profits, which slumped more than 35% in Q2, General Motors said it was “making solid progress” to mitigate at least 30% of the $4 billion to $5 billion impact it said tariffs would have through 2025 earlier this year.

International rival Stellantis reported yesterday that tariffs had cost it ~$350 million (300 million euros) across the first half of the year.

GM shares were down about 2.5% in premarket trading, despite beating Wall Street estimates.

Visa reports solid beat on earnings

Visa inched up in after hours trading, as it reported quarterly numbers that outpaced expectations. The solid, but unspectacular outperformance — it beat EPS expectations by a penny — is par for the course for a company that’s developed a reputation as a boring, but consistent, money maker seemingly indifferent to economic conditions.

Lucid plans to build a privately owned autonomous car with Nvidia tech

Shares of Lucid vaulted briefly on Tuesday afternoon following the company’s announcement that it will team up with Nvidia to bring Level 4 autonomous driving to its future vehicles.

A still unnamed midsized SUV by Lucid, planned for 2026, will feature lidar and radar provided by Nvidia’s ecosystem. Ultimately, the automaker said it aims to create the “first true eyes-off, hands-off, and mind-off (L4) consumer owned autonomous vehicle.” Level 4 autonomous vehicles, like Waymo’s robotaxis, operate without human intervention.

The Nvidia partnership will also bring new automated features to Lucid’s Gravity SUV, the luxury EV maker said. Its shares rose more than 6% before losing all those gains and dipping into the red.

Lucid and Nvidia’s announcements came along with a host of other new partnerships at the chip designer’s GPU Technology Conference in Washington, DC.
