Hyundai Motor Group's second-quarter 2024 results fell short of expectations. Hyundai Motor reported operating profit down 20.8% year on year to 2.85 trillion won, while global sales slid 6.9%. Kia's operating profit declined 4.9% to 2.63 trillion won. Several South Korean brokerages sharply cut their target prices for both stocks. Hyundai Motor shares have dropped more than 20% over the past three months, and Kia is down more than 10%. Despite the group's high-profile push into physical AI, the strategy has yet to translate into better earnings or provide valuation support.
