Hyundai Motor Group’s physical AI push fails to lift sentiment as brokerages cut Hyundai Motor and Kia targets
AI Market Summary
Hyundai Motor Group's physical AI narrative is not offsetting near-term earnings pressure, as Hyundai and Kia posted weaker-than-expected Q2 profitability and declining global sales. Multiple brokerages cut target prices, reinforcing a negative feedback loop between disappointing core auto margins and valuation. While parts supply normalization and new model launches may help H2, investors appear focused on measurable monetization and earnings delivery rather than long-term AI ambition.

Hyundai Motor Group’s push into physical artificial intelligence has yet to ease investor concerns as weaker automotive earnings prompt brokerages to cut target prices for Hyundai Motor and Kia. Hyundai Motor’s second-quarter operating profit fell 20.8% to 2.85 trillion won and global vehicle sales declined 6.9%, while Kia’s operating profit slipped 4.9% to 2.63 trillion won. Hyundai Motor shares have dropped more than 20% over the past three months and Kia has fallen more than 10% over the same period. Analysts say the strategy has not translated into improved earnings or stronger valuation support.
