General Motors (GM) moving from the New York Stock Exchange to Nasdaq

•  Transition Date: GM will trade on the NYSE through November 16, 2026, and is scheduled to begin trading on Nasdaq on November 17, 2026.

• Ticker Symbol: The company will keep its existing ticker symbol, "GM".

• Strategic Reason:  Moving from the NYSE (where GM first listed in 1911) to Nasdaq is part of a broader push to position GM as a technology- and software-driven company focused on autonomous and electric vehicles.

   

Other companies have left the New York Stock Exchange for Nasdaq in recent years, including Walmart and Palantir. The tech-focused exchange has also attracted companies like SpaceX and Anthropic that have recently completed or are attempting initial public offerings at trillion-dollar valuations.

Listing exclusively on the Nasdaq will make G.M. eligible for inclusion in the Nasdaq-100 index, something the company noted in its announcement. 

Being included in the Nasdaq-100, which tracks the largest companies listed on the stock exchange, excluding financial firms, has a lot of advantages. Funds and portfolios tracking the Nasdaq-100 total $1.4 trillion, according to Nasdaq.

Investor's Business Daily (IBD) : a major revision to IBD 50 list of top growth stocks

Investor's Business Daily (IBD) completed a major revision to its IBD 50 list of top growth stocks, effective Wednesday, October 22, 2026. 

The changes are designed to give investors a screening tool with the potential for sharply improved performance in growth stocks. The primary shift emphasizes two core IBD metrics more heavily: the Composite Rating and the Relative Strength (RS) Rating. These were previously part of a broader set of criteria; the list now focuses more tightly on them.

Key Context on the Ratings

• Composite Rating: Combines multiple fundamental and technical factors into a single overall score (0–99 scale).
• Relative Strength Rating: Measures a stock’s price performance relative to the broader market (also 0–99).

IBD describes these as staples of its proprietary rating system, which underpins the CAN SLIM investing methodology developed by founder William O’Neil.

Background and Related Updates

This is part of ongoing refinements to IBD’s systems in 2026, including earlier updates to stock ratings (for more accurate comparisons within appropriate universes of stocks) and a reorganization of industry groups. The IBD 50 remains a curated list of 50 leading growth stocks, regularly refreshed, and is tracked by the Innovator IBD 50 ETF (FFTY).
