2 Auto Stocks Cooling Off to Close Out 2025

Last time we mentioned General Motors Co (NYSE:GM), the stock was fresh off a post-earnings four-year peak. Meanwhile, sector peer Ford Motor Co (NYSE:F) announced plans to pivot towards hybrids and EVs. Below, we'll take a quick glance at how the automakers are fairing as Wall Street wraps up 2025.

General Motors stock was last seen trading near the flatline, down 0.08% at $82.99, extending its consolidated run just below the $84 ceiling. The shares earlier tapped and now remain close to their Dec. 22 record peak of $83.68, and are looking to close out 2025 with a 56% gain. 

Also not trading far from its December highs is Ford Motor stock, last seen down 0.3% at $13.28, a chip shot from its Dec. 16 annual peak of $13.99. The 80-day moving average emerged as support back in April and has since captured several brief pullbacks made by the equity. Over the past 12 months, F has risen 34%.

Coincidentally, both securities are sporting cheap options, with the same readings. This is per their Schaeffer's Volatility Index (SVI) of 23%, which both rank in the lowest possible percentiles from the last year.
