South Korean Auto Makers Could Gain as Tariff Overhang Eases -- Market Talk

0715 GMT - South Korean auto manufacturers could gain as expectation for a tariff reduction grows, says HSBC's Will Cho in a note. U.S. tariffs affected 2Q earnings, hitting original equipment manufacturers harder than parts makers, but the impact was mitigated by stronger core margins and foreign exchange tailwinds. Auto maker Kia is likely to gain further U.S. market share in 2H on strong hybrid vehicle sales amid its peers' struggles. However, he prefers Hyundai Motor to Kia, as the former has a narrower valuation gap. HSBC has buy ratings on Kia and Hyundai, and keeps its targets at 135,000 won and 270,000 won, respectively. Kia's shares are 0.2% higher at 105,700 won, while Hyundai's shares are 0.2% lower at 218,000 won. (megan.cheah@wsj.com)
