General Motors announced on Tuesday that it will transition its common stock listing from the New York Stock Exchange to the Nasdaq Global Select Market, a strategic realignment intended to reflect the company’s evolution from a traditional heavy manufacturer into a technology-focused mobility provider.
The Detroit-based automaker, which operates the Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac brands, is scheduled to begin trading on the Nasdaq on November 17 under its existing ticker symbol, “GM.” The company’s shares will continue to trade on the New York Stock Exchange through the close of business on November 16. General Motors officials noted that existing shareholders will not need to take any action regarding their holdings as a result of the transfer.
“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 Chief Financial Officer Paul Jacobson said in a statement. Jacobson expressed gratitude for the automaker’s long-standing partnership with the New York Stock Exchange and its historic legacy, even as the company moves toward an exchange often associated with high-growth technology firms.
The decision to move follows a period of intense focus on advanced vehicle systems. On October 21, 2026, General Motors CEO and Chair Mary Barra and President Marc Reuss delivered keynote addresses at the company’s annual technology event in New York. During these presentations, leadership detailed a roadmap that prioritizes software-defined platforms and expanded electric vehicle offerings.
Part of this transformation involves scaling “eyes-off” autonomous driving capabilities to include high-volume vehicle segments, such as pickups and SUVs. The company has also recently integrated its vehicle fleet more deeply into the national energy infrastructure, launching programs that allow certain electric vehicle owners to sell electricity stored in their car batteries back to the power grid to assist with peak demand.
Beyond hardware and propulsion, the company is leaning heavily into artificial intelligence and digital connectivity. Ed Nightingale, vice president of Digital Products at General Motors, recently highlighted the role of the OnStar AI Assistant in improving safety and the driver experience. Nightingale also emphasized the company’s focus on maintaining data privacy and safety as vehicles become increasingly connected and data-reliant.
By moving to the Nasdaq, General Motors could become eligible for inclusion in the Nasdaq-100 Index. This index tracks 100 of the largest non-financial companies listed on the exchange, though the company noted that such inclusion is not guaranteed. Despite the change in its stock listing location, General Motors confirmed that there will be no immediate changes to its day-to-day business operations or corporate structure.
