WHAT'S NEW: GM should benefit from improved profitability in North America in the second half of 2013 and 2014, reduced losses in Europe, and stabilized profit margins in China, Rosner wrote. In North America, the automaker's profitability should be boosted by higher prices in the second half of this year, and by the full rollout of its K2XX trucks in 2014, the analyst believes. GM's first quarter results in Europe indicated that it is "making encouraging progress in reducing losses" there, the analyst wrote. As a result, he has increased confidence that GM Europe's loss will drop to about $1B this year from $1.9B last year. In China, GM's emphasis on the Cadillac should enable the company to keep its margins, which had been in a downward trend, from falling this year, the analyst contended. Rosner has a $48 price target on GM's stock. TODAY'S PRICE ACTION: In early trading, GM rose 60c, or 1.9%, to $33. WHAT'S NOTABLE: GM's IPO price was $33, and the stock has reached that level again today. 10:07 EDT GM On The Fly: Analyst Upgrade Summary Subscribe for More Information 05:39 EDT GM General Motors upgraded to Buy from Underperform at CLSA Subscribe for More Information May 16, 2013 05:55 EDT GM Pickup truck sales are booming, WSJ reports Pickup truck buyers are no longer on the sidelines as they return to dealer showrooms, offering millions of dollars in profit and potentially lifelong brand loyalty to Ford (F), GM (GM) or Chrysler Group (FIATY) and rivals, reports the Wall Street Journal.
