[Market Highlight] Hyundai Autoever Rises 5% on Robotics Expectations

On December 8, Hyundai Autoever is showing strong performance. This is due to growing expectations that the company will benefit from advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, and autonomous driving.

As of 9:45 a.m. on this day, Hyundai Autoever was trading at 298,000 won, up 14,500 won (5.11%) from the previous trading day.

This surge in investor interest in Hyundai Autoever, which is responsible for robotics and autonomous driving, is believed to have been triggered by news that U.S. President Donald Trump is considering an executive order to bring robot manufacturing bases back to the United States.

In response, the securities industry has also raised its target price for Hyundai Autoever. Daishin Securities raised its target price for Hyundai Autoever from 250,000 won to 370,000 won on this day.

Daishin Securities researcher Kim Guyoun explained, "There is a high possibility that the momentum in robotics in the first half of 2026 will continue into autonomous driving in the second half of the year," adding, "We believe Hyundai Autoever's role in investments that connect robotics and autonomous driving to physical AI is likely to continue."

Researcher Kim added, "Hyundai Autoever is engaged in SI business and vehicle software business within Hyundai Motor Group," and continued, "Recently, there has been ongoing news about the impact of HMG's purchase of Nvidia GPUs on performance, the business impact of deploying BD robots in factories, and the potential changes in roles within the SDV division following the resignation of President Song Changhyun."
