General Motors Co posted a weaker-than-expected fourth-quarter profit as disappointing performance overseas offset strong results in North America, sending its shares down 3.1% in premarket trading.

Net income attributable to common shareholders was $500 million, or 28 cents a share, compared with $500 million, or 31 cents a share, in the year-earlier quarter.

Shares of GM fell to $24.15 in premarket trading from Wednesday's closing price of $24.93 on the New York Stock Exchange.
