GM Loses $3.25 Billion in the First Quarter
April 30, 2008

General Motors Wednesday reported it lost $3.25 billion in the first quarter due slow U.S. vehicle sales, losses at its finance unit and plant shutdowns caused by a strike against one of its suppliers.

Analysts expected GM to post a loss, which was the automaker's third consecutive quarterly loss and compares with a profit of $62 million in the year-ago quarter. However, the loss was less than analysts had forecasted thanks to GM's rising sales in Asia and Latin America that helped offset the slump in the U.S.
