GM returned 50.6% in year to October 14, beating S&P 500's 17.3%

General Motors returned 50.6% in the 12 months to October 14, 2026, against 17.3% for the S&P 500, Yahoo Finance reported. That's a 33.3-point gap. I'd treat it as past price action, not a guide to future risk or return — single-year winners can carry high beta, meaning sharper swings with the market.
