Sales in Korea declined 4.6% 189,405 units, owing to slow demand and supply chain disruptions on heavy snowfall, while sales in markets outside of Korea fell 1.6% Y/Y to 876,834 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.hyundai.com/worldwide/en/newsroom/detail/0000000897" rel="noreferrer noopener">units</a> in fourth quarter.

In the fourth quarter, operating profit dipped 17.2% to KRW 2.82 trillion (~$1.9 billion) due to increased sales warranty provision resulting from a weaker KRW and higher incentives.

In the fourth quarter, the company witnessed a net profit (including non-controlling interest) of KRW 2.47 trillion (+12.3% Y/Y).

Hyundai Motor plans to pay a year-end dividend of KRW 6,000 per common share, resulting in total payout of KRW 12,000 per common share for 2024.
Outlook: Hyundai Motor expects consolidated revenue growth of 3%–4%, operating profit margin of 7%–8% and total vehicle sales exceeding <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">4.17 million units for 2025</a>.
The automaker plans investments of KRW 16.9 trillion for 2025, including KRW 8.6 trillion in capital expenditure, KRW 6.7 trillion in R&amp;D, and KRW 1.6 trillion in strategic investments.
In another development, Hyundai Motor is in talks with General Motors Company to supply commercial electric vehicles, as it anticipates sales growth to slow by half this year amid weakening demand, reported Reuters.

South Korea's Hyundai, Kia Collectively Sold More EVs In US Than Ford In 2024

South Korean markets showed resilience Wednesday as President Yoon Suk Yeol was taken into custody, with the benchmark KOSPI rising 0.40% to 2,507.35 amid heightened political uncertainty.
Yoon, 64, was detained at 10:33 a.m. local time by a joint probe team investigating allegations related to his December martial law declaration, marking an unprecedented arrest of a sitting South Korean president. 
The arrest came after an initial failed attempt on Jan. 3 that resulted in a standoff between investigators and presidential security, <a href="https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10390439">reported</a> The Korean Herald.
Despite the political upheaval, major South Korean stocks held steady. SK Hynix Inc. led the gains, climbing 2.31% to 1,99,800 South Korean won ($136.90). Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>) rose 0.37% to 54,100 South Korean won ($37.06), while KB Financial Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KB#NYSE">KB</a>) gained 0.90%, reaching 89,500 South Korean won ($61.31). Hyundai Motor (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HYMTF#OTC">HYMTF</a>) saw a slight decline of 0.23%, trading at 2,21,500 South Korean won ($151.76). 
The iShares MSCI South Korea ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWY#NYSE">EWY</a>), a key indicator for U.S. investors, gained 0.94% on Tuesday.
The Korean won remained stable against the U.S. dollar, trading at 1,460.52 South Korean won, down marginally by 0.063%. 
The arrest warrant for President Yoon, which expires Jan. 21, includes charges of power abuse and insurrection. The investigation is led by the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials.

A South Korean court has approved the detainment of President Yoon Suk Yeol over his imposition of martial law earlier in the month.
What Happened: On Tuesday (local time), the Seoul Western District Court issued a warrant against Yoon on charges of masterminding a failed martial law declaration, orchestrating an insurrection, and abusing power, according to <a href="https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/nation/2024/12/356_389449.html">The Korea Times</a> report. The Corruption Investigation Office applied for the warrant after Yoon ignored three requests for an appearance from the anti-corruption agency for questioning.
The court warrant grants the CIO 48 hours to detain Yoon for questioning and seek an arrest warrant. However, the Presidential Security Service has blocked investigators from accessing both the presidential office compound and Yoon&#8217;s official residence, citing concerns over military security.
Although Yoon has presidential immunity from criminal prosecution, this protection does not extend to charges of insurrection or treason. Yoon&#8217;s defense team contends that the CIO does not have the legal authority to investigate insurrection, a charge that, under the current system, falls within the investigative jurisdiction of the police.
Yoon was suspended from his duties after the opposition-controlled National Assembly voted to impeach him on December 14 for imposing martial law, which was overturned by a parliamentary vote just six hours later. The Constitutional Court has initiated proceedings to decide whether to remove the incumbent from office or reinstate him, with a ruling expected within 180 days beginning Dec. 14.

Why It Matters: The impeachment and potential arrest of President Yoon Suk Yeol is the culmination of a series of events that started with his controversial&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42292488/south-korean-etfs-slide-on-presidents-emergency-martial-law-declaration-protect-the-constitutional-democratic-order">declaration of martial law</a>&nbsp;on Dec. 3. This move, which Yoon justified as a measure against anti-state activities, led to a significant drop in South Korean ETFs and widespread protests across the country.
In mid-December, South Korean lawmakers, including several members of Yoon&#8217;s own People Power Party (PPP), <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42497084/south-korean-lawmakers-impeach-yoon-over-martial-law-attempt">voted to impeach him</a> over his martial law attempt. The Constitutional Court now has 180 days to ratify the impeachment, which could result in Yoon&#8217;s removal from office.
The Korea Composite Stock Price Index was seen trading lower by 0.22% at 2,399.49 at the time of writing. Shares of major South Korean companies like Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>) and Hyundai Motor Co. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HYMTF#OTC">HYMTF</a>) were in the red. Korean memory giant SK Hynix Inc. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HXSCL#OTC">HXSCL</a>) also traded lower in Seoul.

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol Faces Arrest Over Martial Law Declaration

Hyundai Motor America (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HYMTF#OTC">HYMTF</a>) on Monday said that the company&#8217;s existing EV owners will get free adapters to charge on Tesla Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) supercharger network in the first quarter of 2025.
What Happened: The adapters will allow Hyundai EV owners to charge their vehicles at more than 20,000 Tesla superchargers in the U.S., the company said. Adapters will also be available to purchase at authorized dealers, it added.
Owners of the model year 2024 and earlier KONA electric, Ioniq, Ioniq 5, and Ioniq 6 as well as model year 2025 Ioniq 6, Ioniq 5N, and Kona electric will be eligible to get free adapters.
These vehicles have a Combined Charging System (CCS) charge port, necessitating the use of an adapter to charge on Tesla's supercharger network equipped with North American Charging Standard (NACS.)
Why It Matters: Hyundai USA&#8217;s model year 2025 Ioniq 5 comes with a NACS port, meaning it would not need an adapter to charge on Tesla&#8217;s supercharger network. 
In Oct. 2023, Tesla CEO Elon Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/10/35347614/elon-musk-predicts-inevitable-adoption-of-this-tesla-tech-by-all-major-automakers-to-the-well-organi">expressed his conviction</a> that the widespread adoption of Tesla's North American charging standard (NACS) by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/09/34338382/honda-joins-ford-gm-volvo-in-adopting-teslas-ev-charging-standard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">all major automakers</a>&nbsp;is "inevitable."
Several automakers have signed up to adopt Tesla&#8217;s charging standard including Ford, General Motors, and Rivian Automotive. 
According to Tesla, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42505310/tesla-prepares-for-holiday-rush-tapping-into-global-supercharger-demand-to-drive-revenue-growth">its superchargers make up three of four fast chargers</a> in North America.

What Happened: <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/south-korean-president-impeached-in-2024?tid=1733326929469">Data</a> from the prediction market shows a 37% probability of Yoon being impeached before the end of 2024.
Another Polymarket question <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/yoon-out-as-president-of-south-korea-in-2024?tid=1733326929195">gives</a> a 29% chance of Yoon being removed from office, underscoring heightened political instability in the country.
This uncertainty has already rippled through <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42306717/south-korean-markets-plunge-amid-political-turmoil-as-president-yoons-martial-law-u-turn-sparks-uncertainty-samsung-sk-hynix-and-hyundai-stocks-tumble">South Korea's financial markets</a>.
Key technology and industrial stocks have taken a hit, with Samsung Electronics (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>) down 1.12%, NVIDIA (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) supplier SK Hynix (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HXSCF#OTC">HXSCF</a>) slipping 0.061%, and Hyundai Motor (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HYMTF#OTC">HYMTF</a>) falling 0.70%. 
The turmoil has also affected U.S.-listed South Korean equities, with Posco Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PKX#NYSE">PKX</a>) dropping 4.36% in regular trading before seeing a slight recovery after hours. 
South Korean ETFs in the U.S., including the iShares MSCI South Korea ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWY#NYSE">EWY</a>) and Franklin FTSE South Korea ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FLKR#NYSE">FLKR</a>), also saw mixed performances, signaling broader market apprehension.
The situation has also impacted the South Korean won, which weakened by 0.21% against the U.S. dollar, trading at 1,416.65. 
Analysts noted that South Korea&#8217;s crucial role in global supply chains, particularly in semiconductors and automotive production, amplifies the stakes of this political drama.

Why It Matters: The cryptocurrency market, too, felt the shockwaves.
Major coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum plunged on Upbit, South Korea&#8217;s largest crypto exchange, trading at a steep discount compared to international markets. 
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) dropped as low as $71,800 on Upbit compared to $95,500 on Coinbase, while Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) fell to $2,700 on Upbit before recovering. 
The Korea Premium Index, which tracks price differences between South Korean and global exchanges, dipped to -14.67 during the chaos, signaling significant retail selling pressure.
However, the situation stabilized after President Yoon reversed his martial law decision following parliamentary pushback, with Bitcoin and Ethereum rebounding to align more closely with global prices. 
Analysts noted this episode's divergence from the traditional "Kimchi Premium," where South Korean crypto prices often trade at a significant premium.
Historical patterns add further context to the political stakes. 
South Korea has a tumultuous history of leadership changes, with several former presidents either overthrown, impeached, or imprisoned. 
Yoon's presidency, marked by controversy and challenges, now faces increasing scrutiny and the potential for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42307586/bitcoin-dumped-and-recovered-in-south-korea-amid-political-turmoil-an-arbitrage-opportunity-that-wasnt">a similar fate</a>.

South Korea's President To Be Impeached In 2024? Polymarket Traders Are Unsure

South Korean markets traded sharply lower on Wednesday following a dramatic political upheaval that saw President Yoon Suk Yeol briefly impose and then quickly withdraw martial law <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42301885/south-korea-etfs-won-pare-losses-as-yoon-makes-u-turn-on-martial-law-declaration">after facing parliamentary opposition</a>.
What Happened: The benchmark Kospi index fell 1.15% to 2,471.27, while the tech-heavy Kosdaq 100 dropped 2.64% as of 9:49 am local time, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">data from Benzinga Pro</a>. 
The political uncertainty particularly affected major technology and industrial stocks, with Samsung Electronics Co. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>) declining 1.12%.
NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) supplier SK Hynix (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HXSCF#OTC">HXSCF</a>) saw its shares drop 0.061%. Other industrial heavyweights also suffered, with Hyundai Motor (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HYMTF#OTC">HYMTF</a>) falling 0.70% and U.S.-listed Posco Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PKX#NYSE">PKX</a>) declining 4.36% to $47.77 on Tuesday&#8217;s regular session. Still, the stock recovered marginally in after-hours trading.
U.S.-based funds tracking South Korean equities showed signs of recovery in after-hours trading, with the iShares MSCI South Korea ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWY#NYSE">EWY</a>) rebounding 0.25% after earlier losses exceeding 6%. The Franklin FTSE South Korea ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FLKR#NYSE">FLKR</a>) gained 0.53% after hours.
The political turbulence also impacted currency markets, with the South Korean won weakening 0.21% against the U.S. dollar to 1,416.65. 
The market reaction highlights South Korea&#8217;s crucial role in global supply chains, particularly in semiconductor manufacturing and automotive production, where many companies serve as essential suppliers to major U.S. firms.

Hyundai Motor (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HYMTF#OTC">HYMTF</a>) and Kia Corp are together recalling over 208,000 electrified vehicles in the U.S. citing concerns about a loss of driving power, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on Friday.
What Happened: The recall population includes 145,235 Hyundai vehicles and 62,872 vehicles from its sister company Kia. 
The integrated charging control unit in the vehicles may become damaged and stop charging the battery, resulting in a loss of drive power, the U.S. auto safety regulator said. A loss of drive power may increase the risk of a crash, it added. 
The vehicles included in the recall are certain IONIQ 5, IONIQ 6, Genesis GV60, Genesis GV70 Electrified, Genesis G80 Electrified, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38246262/need-a-new-ev-deal-kia-offers-dealers-cash-to-make-room-for-2024-models">and Kia EV6</a>. 
Why It Matters: As for a solution, the company&#8217;s dealers will inspect and replace the charging unit and its fuse if necessary, NHTSA said. 
The company is not aware of any crashes, injuries, fatalities, or fires due to the issue in the U.S.

A second Trump presidency is expected to have a significant impact on the automotive industry, and on EVs in particular with the president-elect promising to impose higher tariffs on imports into the U.S. and vowing to remove incentives for the manufacturing of EVs. 
However, Munoz said in an interview with CNBC on Thursday that the company continues to be optimistic about the future of electric vehicles, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42132485/hyundais-incoming-ceo-is-steadfast-on-evs-says-tesla-ceo-elon-musks-proximity-to-trump-will-be-good-for-industry">irrespective of incentives</a>.

Hyundai, Kia Recall Over 208,000 Electrified Vehicles In US: Here's More

South Korean automaker Hyundai Motor Co&#8216;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HYMTF#OTC">HYMTF</a>) incoming CEO Jose Munoz is optimistic about the future of electric vehicles despite fears of EV tariffs and incentives getting dropped or reduced under the upcoming Donald Trump presidency.
What Happened: Hyundai decided to make a big investment in America during the previous Trump administration before the introduction of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) which provides incentives for the manufacturing of electric vehicles in the U.S., Munoz said in an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1E3zF6S2JaQ">interview </a>with CNBC. 
&#8220;The fact that Elon Musk is so close to Trump is probably good for electric vehicles, not bad. We are not planning our business based on incentives. We want to produce really great vehicles with great features,&#8221; he said. Munoz&#8217;s appointment as co-CEO of Hyundai will be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/11/42004380/hyundai-gears-up-for-trumps-return-to-white-house-elevates-us-chief-jose-munoz-to-co-ceo-appoints-former-us-diplomat-to-manage-external-affairs">effective from January. </a>
Why It Matters: In November 2023, Hyundai announced that it would <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/11/35768916/hyundai-announces-25-wage-hike-for-alabama-and-georgia-production-team-amid-labour-unrest">invest $12.6 billion in EV and battery manufacturing facilities in Georgia</a>, making it its largest investment outside South Korea. The first electric vehicle rolled off the assembly line in Georgia in October. 
Earlier this week, the company unveiled its Ioniq 9 three-row SUV which will roll out in the U.S. early next year. The Ioniq 9 will be up against other 3-row SUVs from rival automakers including Lucid Motors and General Motors and will be manufactured in Georgia. 
Hyundai now aims to have a lineup of 23 EV models by 2030.
Meanwhile, Wedbush analyst Dan Ives said Trump&#8217;s plan to get rid of consumer tax credits for EVs is actually not positive for Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>). Eliminating the EV tax credit could pose a major challenge to the United States&#8217; EV transition. However, Musk, a prominent supporter of Trump, has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41988194/trump-plans-to-erase-ev-tax-credit-analyst-says-its-net-bullish-calls-sell-off-wrong-knee-jerk-reaction">reportedly expressed his support </a>to Trump's team for ending the EV tax credit.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk's Proximity To Trump Will Benefit EV Industry, Says Incoming Hyundai CEO As He Shrugs Off Potential Tariff Threats

Hyundai Motor (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HYMTF#OTC">HYMTF</a>) has promoted Jose Munoz, its U.S. chief and global COO, to the position of co-CEO. This marks a historic moment as Munoz becomes the first foreign national to achieve such a rank within a major South Korean conglomerate. The decision is part of Hyundai&#8217;s strategic preparation for potential challenges that could arise under a second Trump administration.
What Happened: Munoz has played a crucial role in driving record sales for Hyundai in North America. He will now join three other co-CEOs, including Euisun Chung, the executive chair and grandson of Hyundai&#8217;s founder. Despite his elevation, Munoz will remain subordinate to Chung and Chang Jae-hoon, who is set to become group vice chair overseeing the automotive division.

The leadership changes are aimed at enhancing Hyundai&#8217;s global competitiveness and preparing for uncertainties in the business landscape. Additionally, the automaker has appointed Sung Kim, a former U.S. diplomat, to manage global external affairs. Kim was a former U.S. diplomat and was part of a team assisting Donald Trump during his first term at a summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
Why It Matters: The appointment of Munoz comes at a time when the potential return of Trump to the U.S. presidency <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41755274/trump-win-could-hinder-tech-ev-sector-growth-slow-the-pace-of-ai-revolution-analyst">could significantly impact</a> the automotive industry. According to a group of Wedbush analysts, a Trump win could hinder growth in the technology and electric vehicle sectors, potentially slowing the pace of the AI revolution.

Volkswagen's (OTCPK:VWAGY) chief marketing officer and head of product strategy for China, Jochen Sengpiehl, was deported from China after testing positive for cannabis during a mandatory customs drug test. The test was conducted after Sengpieh's return from a vacation in Koh Samui, Thailand.
After routine test results revealed traces of marijuana in his system, Chinese authorities detained Sengpiehl for questioning, reportedly holding him for more than 10 days, <a href="https://www.wardsauto.com/volkswagen-group/volkswagen-official-deported-from-china-for-cannabis-use">writes</a> wardsauto. Per the reports, Chinese President Xi Jinping ordered his deportation.
The creator of VW's famous slogan "Das Auto," Sengpiehl played a crucial role in positioning the company's electric-vehicle business in a highly competitive Chinese market. He previously worked for top brands like Nissan (OTCPK:NSANY), DaimlerChrysler and Hyundai (OTCPK:HYMTF). 
Thailand decriminalized cannabis in 2022 and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/04/38023610/heres-what-you-need-to-know-about-weed-legalization-in-germany-that-just-took-effect">Germany partially legalized it this past April</a>, However, in China, cannabis consumption is treated with zero tolerance.
Following the liberalization of cannabis laws in Thailand, tourists primarily from Asian countries like Japan, Malaysia, China and the Philippines are viewed as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/07/39922637/thailand-will-not-re-criminalize-cannabis-prime-minister-agrees-to-regulate-industry-instead-wha">common as cannabis customers</a>. Singapore&#8217;s Central Narcotics Bureau announced plans to randomly test people returning from Thailand. China&#8217;s embassy in Thailand also cautioned Chinese tourists that consuming cannabis abroad could lead to penalties upon their return, as such actions are considered domestic violations.
