Risks & Outlook
New U.S. tariffs (25% on imported vehicles) and global economic volatility could weigh on Hyundai’s near-term performance. The company is expanding local production, focusing on high-margin eco-friendly models, and optimizing its product portfolio to respond. Favorable FX (weak KRW) supported Q1 results, but tariff and macro risks may intensify in H2.
