Risks
- EV transition uncertainty: If global EV demand falls short of expectations, battery investments and factory conversion costs could squeeze profitability.
- Chinese competition: Price pressure from Chinese EV makers, led by BYD, weighs on Hyundai's margin structure.
- Geopolitical risk: South Korean equities are sensitive to North Korean tensions and US–China trade dynamics.
