General Motors increased its earnings outlook for the year after reporting a 30% surge in second-quarter core profit, attributed to strong SUV and truck sales in North America.

The automaker eclipsed analyst profit predictions, even amid economic challenges like high gas prices and slowing job growth, posting $3.9 billion in earnings before interest and taxes.

Despite economic headwinds, GM's profit margin in North America improved, though net income declined due to costs related to its electric vehicle factory restructuring.
