General Motors (GM) plans to increase its dividend by 33% and repurchase $10 billion of shares, its largest-ever buyback plan, in an effort to boost investor interest in a stock that has slumped this year due to faltering technology investments. Despite high interest rates and capital burdens from its electric-vehicle efforts, GM aims to demonstrate its ability to generate significant cash while investing in technology.
