General Motors Corp., the world's largest automaker, may report a 48 percent rise in second-quarter profit tomorrow as Chief Executive Officer Rick Wagoner boosts sales in China and increases revenue from car loans.
Surging sales of brands such as Buick in China likely helped increase net income to $1.3 billion, or $2.24 a share, according to the average estimate of analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial. The Detroit-based company provides loans through its General Motors Acceptance Corp. unit. Competitor Ford Motor Co. reports second-quarter results today.
Sales in China will increase profit from the Asia-Pacific region by about 7 percentage points to 25 percent of General Motors' total earnings this year, according to David Healy, an analyst at Burnham Securities. Wagoner, 51, last month committed $3 billion to expansion in China as Asian companies such as Toyota Motor Corp. gain market share in North America.
''China and GMAC will provide enough buffer to meet second- quarter profit targets,'' said Sasha Kamper, who helps manage $65 billion at Principal Global Investors in Des Moines, Iowa, including General Motors bonds. ``Ultimately, for GM to be successful, it must earn money at its North American auto operations.''
North America will contribute about 20 percent of earnings per share this year, down from 36 percent in 2003, said Sierra Vista, California-based Healy, who doesn't own shares of General Motors.
General Motors' share of the U.S. market dropped by 1.1 percentage points during the quarter, according to Autodata Corp. The carmaker estimates it will have a loss in Europe for a fifth straight year in 2004.
Net income from the company's Chinese ventures rose $118 million in the first quarter, while earnings from North America declined by $97 million.
The company's shares traded in Germany fell as much as 31 cents, or 0.9 percent to 35.05 euros and were down 0.3 percent to 35.26 euros as of 12:31 p.m. in Frankfurt.
