Hyundai Motor Company Q3 profit slumps as U.S. tariffs bite, but guidance unchanged

Hyundai Motor Company reported an operating profit of ₩2.5 trillion (~US$1.76 billion) for Q3 ended September 2025, down from ₩3.6 trillion a year earlier. The drop reflects a jump in U.S. automotive tariffs costing the company ₩1.8 trillion, up from ₩828 billion in the prior quarter. Despite the headwinds Hyundai maintained its full-year revenue and margin guidance, citing strong U.S. retail sales (+12.7%) and hybrid vehicle share (20%) as cushioning factors. The company also flagged risk from global demand slowdown.
