General Motors (GM) - Get Report shares rose on Tuesday as Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said U.S. automakers are beginning to get more semiconductors after a shortage had dented their production.
“You’re starting to see some improvements,” she told Bloomberg. In recent weeks, Ford Motor (F) - Get Report Chief Executive Jim Farley and GM CEO Mary Barra have told Raimondo “they’re starting to get a little bit more of what they need,” and the situation is “a little bit better,” she said.
GM, Detroit, recently traded at $55.94, up 3.3%. The stock has firmed 2% in the past six months amid the chip shortage.
Ford recently traded at $13.81, up 4%. The Dearborn, Mich., vehicle giant has surged 38% over the past six months amid optimism that its fortunes are rebounding.
Raimondo organized meetings of semiconductor makers, their suppliers, and their customers, including automakers, Bloomberg reported. Senior administration officials said those confabs helped the situation.
In other GM news Tuesday, its BrightDrop electric-delivery-van unit named four new executives.
