General Motors roundup: Overhangs weaned, Barra and dividend on tap
01:31 PM ET · GM

There's a little bit of buzz in the air over General Motors (GM +0.1%) as it continues to peel away some of the issues (Peugeot, Ally Financial, South Korea, Uncle Sam) seen as potential overhangs.
Detroit insiders say new CEO Mary Barra has the chops to take GM to the next level as they applaud the inside hire. Though only 51 years old, Barra went to college at the General Motors Institute (Kettering) and has worked at GM for 33 years with engineering and global product development in her background.
In China, GM just passed 3M vehicles sold this year to mark the first time it has reached that level. Through its various joint ventures, GM has increased market share in China.
Investors like all the above, but are also eyeing GM's $37B in liquidity than can easily support a dividend. Susquehanna says the options market are already pricing in a $0.52/share annual dividend for 2014.
