Hyundai Warns of Intensifying Competition, Posts Profit Drop

Hyundai Motor Co. has warned of heightened competition and uncertain global economic conditions after reporting a 2.4% decline in quarterly profit. The South Korean automaker’s cautious outlook and weak performance contrast with the bullish forecasts from its U.S. rivals, General Motors and Ford Motor Co., who reported strong profit growth this week. Hyundai is facing headwinds from shrinking exposure to China and faltering demand in South Korea. The company expects challenging business conditions to continue and plans to expand its electrified model lineups globally. Hyundai’s net profit fell to 3.2 trillion won ($2.32 billion) for January-March, down from 3.3 trillion won a year earlier but ahead of analysts’ average forecast.
