• The analyst noted that the lower-than-expected 2022 guidance triggered the reduced price target.
• He expects GM to remain one holistic company for at least the next 12-18 months as management builds out its EV, AV, and connected car capabilities.
• Adam still harbors concern around the legacy OEM's shift from ICE to electrification, modeled by forecasting GM to be a smaller company going forward.
• Price Action: GM shares are trading lower by 3.96% at $48.70 in premarket on the last check Tuesday.
