[SEOUL] Hyundai Motor reported a 21 per cent fall in second quarter operating profit on Thursday (Jul 23), missing analysts’ estimates, as weaker vehicle sales, production disruptions and higher costs outweighed support from a weaker won.

Hyundai, which together with affiliate Kia Corp is the world’s third-biggest automaking group by sales, posted operating profit of 2.9 trillion won (US$1.98 billion) for the April-June period, compared with 3.6 trillion won a year earlier.

That compared with a 3.2 trillion won forecast by LSEG SmartEstimate, which is weighted towards analysts who are more consistently accurate.

Hyundai Motor said revenue rose 2 per cent from a year earlier to 49.2 trillion won.

Shares of Hyundai Motor were trading up 2 per cent after the earnings announcement.

Hyundai forecasts macroeconomic uncertainty will persist and competition in the industry will be tougher.
