GM Is Leaving NYSE for the Nasdaq After More Than 100 Years
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 on Tuesday that it will switch its stock listing from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) to the Nasdaq Global Select Market, effective November 17, 2026. The move will make GM eligible for the Nasdaq-100 index, which tracks 100 of the largest non-financial companies listed on the exchange.
Paul Jacobson, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of GM, stated, “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 under the existing ticker symbol “GM.”
The company’s decision to switch listings comes a week after it reported third-quarter results that beat expectations and approved a new $20 billion share repurchase program. GM sells cars under the Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, and Cadillac brands, which it claims offer “the industry’s widest range of EVs” as it moves “to an all-electric future.”
GM’s shares were trading 2.08% higher at $77.90 as of press time. The stock will continue to trade on the NYSE through market close on November 16 and will begin trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on November 17.
The timing of the switch lines up with the Nasdaq-100 index’s annual reconstitution, which ranks eligible companies by market value on the last trading day of November, falling on November 30 this year. GM’s shares are expected to remain listed on the NYSE through market close on November 16.
GM’s move to Nasdaq reflects its growing focus on technology and innovation, particularly in the realm of electric vehicles (EVs). Cadillac was one of the strongest EV performers in September, with sales up 21.5% from August, according to Cox Automotive estimates.
Existing stockholders do not need to take any action as a result of the switch. GM expressed gratitude for its long-standing partnership with the NYSE and its remarkable legacy, while emphasizing the strategic alignment with Nasdaq’s technology-driven environment.
The Nasdaq-100 index inclusion is not guaranteed, as it requires at least three full calendar months of trading history, but it counts time on the NYSE toward that requirement. GM’s eligibility for the Nasdaq-100 index will be determined by Nasdaq’s annual review.
The move to Nasdaq is part of GM’s broader strategy to transition to an all-electric future, with plans for a fourth-generation EV platform.
GM’s decision to switch listings is a significant shift for the company, which has been listed on the NYSE for over 100 years.
What this adds
The move to Nasdaq follows GM’s third-quarter 2026 results and its fourth-generation EV platform plans, both covered by The EV Report.
