We need to output only the

Let’s reconstruct HTML:

But the original snippet started with

. Might be okay to keep the span? It is hidden but not media. Might be considered promotional. Probably safe to remove.
Better to keep everything as HTML but cleaned. The instruction says “Do NOT alter, delete, or skip any HTML media elements. Leave all tags, video
embed codes EXACTLY as they are.” There are no such elements, but there are other HTML elements like spans and divs. It doesn’t say we cannot alter those. So we can delete any promotional bits.

DETROIT — General Motors is scheduled to release its second-quarter earnings after market open on Tuesday. Wall Street analysts, based on consensus estimates compiled by LSEG, expect the automaker to report adjusted earnings per share of $3.20 and revenue of $47.01 billion.
- Earnings per share: $3.20 adjusted
- Revenue: $47.01 billion
These results would represent a more than 26% increase in adjusted earnings per share and a slight 0.2% decline in revenue year over year.
In the second quarter of 2025, GM generated $47.12 billion in revenue, a net income attributable to stockholders of $1.9 billion, and adjusted earnings before interest and taxes of $3.04 billion.
Investors will also be watching for any changes to GM’s 2026 guidance and the impact of tariffs, vehicle pricing and commodity costs, particularly DRAM chips.
Barclays analyst Dan Levy anticipates that both GM and its Detroit rival Ford—which reports next week—will exceed expectations for the quarter and may modestly raise guidance. He noted in a July 8 note that automakers are benefiting from strong macro‑economic performance, steady pricing, and conservative guidance.
GM increased its 2026 adjusted earnings guidance in April by $500 million to a range of $13.5‑$15.5 billion, equivalent to $11.50‑$13.50 per share, reflecting a 50‑cent per‑share upward revision.
Make sure there are no extra promotional lines. Done.
