GM finally back in the black, IPO expected soon
May 18th, 2010 - 9:07 pm ICT by Aishwarya BhattWashington DC, May 18 (THAINDIAN NEWS) General Motors reported that it made a profit of $865 million, the first time the company has had a profitable quarter since 2007. It is a major turnaround for the company, as they were staring at bankruptcy, sometime back.
However there is speculation about when GM would offer its shares to the public again. The Chief Financial Officer of General Motors Chris Liddell said on Monday, that the first quarter profit was important as they work on rebuilding the giant automaker. Liddell tried to downplay on the IPO expectations i.e. when the company is going to offer its stocks to the public again. However observers say that work is happening in that direction. There are reports that the United States Treasury has been interviewing a number of investment bankers for advice on a deal with Wall Street banks. Ed Whitacre said that IPO was the ultimate goal of General Motors.
GM’s revenue moved more than 40 percent above that of same period last year. The company thus generated more than $1 billion cash, after the expenses and expenditure has been taken care of.
