Lebenthal's Take: "The market is getting it wrong today," Cerity Partners' Jim Lebenthal said Wednesday on CNBC's "Fast Money Halftime Report."

Investors should be focusing on the fact that the stock is up more than 30% year-to-date, Lebenthal said, adding that he expects the stock to trade higher from current levels.

"If anybody wants to sell into this news, you're doing the wrong thing and for those of you who don't own it, this is your opportunity to buy it."

Lebenthal attributed the downward move in General Motors' stock to the semiconductor shortage and raw material cost inputs.

It's clear the company's margins are going higher, he said. Investors need to look past short-term headwinds and recognize that "demand is not just there, it's huge." hey're going to print money in the fourth quarter of this year and next year when their margins go up and their volumes go up."

GM Price Action: General Motors has traded as high as $64.30 and as low as $33.55 over a 52-week period.

The stock was down 4.31% at $54.89 at the time of publication.
