General Motors, after a loss of two years earlier, closed the previous year with a profit, partly due to the fact that it managed to raise the price of its vehicles on its largest market in the United States.
GM reported a $ 8.1 billion post-tax profit on Wednesday after a loss of $ 3.9 billion a year earlier. Last year, earnings per share were $ 5.58. The one-off share-based earnings per share were $ 6.54, higher than the $ 6.29 expected by experts.
GM sold 13.38 million cars last year, 8.38 million vehicles sold in North America, down 3.49 million.
Last year's revenue increased by 1 percent to $ 147.05 billion, exceeding $ 145 billion expected. GM sold about 3 million vehicles in the United States at a record high of $ 36,000, $ 974.
