General Motors to Switch Stock Listing from NYSE to Nasdaq
Confirmed
In Short: General Motors will move its stock listing from the New York Stock Exchange to the Nasdaq Global Select Market, effective November 17, 2026.
General Motors announced Tuesday that it will transfer its stock listing from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) to the Nasdaq Global Select Market, with trading as a Nasdaq-listed company expected to begin on November 17, 2026.
The move comes a week after GM reported third-quarter results that exceeded expectations and approved a new $20 billion share repurchase program.
Paul Jacobson, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of General Motors, said, “GM’s customer-focused, technology-driven strategy is creating value for our stockholders, making Nasdaq a natural home for our listing as we grow.”
GM’s shares are expected to continue trading on the NYSE through the market close on November 16, 2026, before transitioning to Nasdaq.
Under Nasdaq’s published methodology, a company must be primarily listed on a U.S. Nasdaq-affiliated exchange to be eligible for the Nasdaq-100 Index.
The Nasdaq-100 Index tracks 100 of the largest non-financial companies listed on the exchange, and GM’s listing on Nasdaq makes it eligible for potential inclusion in the index, though inclusion is not guaranteed.
GM sells cars under the Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, and Cadillac brands, which it said offer “the industry’s widest range of EVs” as it moves “to an all-electric future.”
The company’s shares will continue to trade under the existing ticker symbol “GM” on both exchanges during the transition period.
GM did not announce any changes to its business operations in connection with the stock exchange transfer.
The listing change comes as GM continues investing in technologies aimed at making vehicles safer, smarter, and more efficient, while expanding its electric vehicle offerings.
What this adds
The stock was trading 2.08% higher at $77.90 as of press time.
Nasdaq ranks eligible companies by market value on the last trading day of November, which falls on November 30, 2026, two weeks after GM’s planned move.
The methodology requires at least three full calendar months of trading history, but it counts time on the NYSE toward that requirement.
GM’s shares are expected to remain listed on the NYSE through market close on November 16, 2026.
