YTD as of 2026-10-30 · source: Yahoo Finance
Hyundai Motor gained 49.1% in 2025 and was down 3.5% through 30 October 2026. Hyundai Wia was down 33.8% on the same date, leaving the component supplier far behind demand. Q3 wholesale volume fell 11.3% to 920,710 vehicles and revenue declined 3.4% to KRW 45.110tn, yet operating profit rose 5.5% to KRW 2.677tn. An 18.2% hybrid mix, currency and cost optimization protected earnings. Hyundai Motor-only purchases of Hyundai Transys drivetrains and seats or Hyundai Wia engines and modules remain undisclosed, so the automaker’s profit recovery cannot be translated directly into named-supplier revenue. The next tests are the revised guidance of 4 million wholesale units and a 5.5% to 6.5% operating margin, plus evidence that hybrid mix reaches supplier margins. Persistent volume declines or weak supplier profitability would undermine the automaker-led recovery thesis.
