[Market Focus] Hyundai Motor Soars Over 6% on Chung Euisun and Jensen Huang Meeting

On January 7, shares of Hyundai Motor and related group stocks showed strong performance in the domestic stock market following reports that Chung Euisun, Chairman of Hyundai Motor Group, met with Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, at CES 2026, the world’s largest electronics and IT exhibition.

As of 9:30 a.m. that day, Hyundai Motor shares were trading at 327,000 won, up 6.17% from the previous session. Hyundai AutoEver was up 8.33%, and Hyundai Mobis was showing a 3.55% increase.

This surge is attributed to Hyundai Motor Group’s large-scale unveiling of artificial intelligence (AI) robotics products and technologies at CES 2026, as well as news of a private meeting between Chairman Chung and CEO Huang the previous night, which spurred buying interest. Before meeting with CEO Huang, Chairman Chung toured Nvidia’s exhibition and had a brief conversation with Huang’s daughter, Madison.

The market is paying close attention to the fact that Hyundai Motor Group and Nvidia, who have been expanding their cooperation, held another so-called “Kkanbu meeting” at CES 2026. In particular, since Nvidia unveiled its autonomous vehicle platform “Alpamayo” during the CES keynote address the previous day, there are growing expectations that the partnership between the two companies could expand into the autonomous driving sector.

The previous day, Hyundai Motor Group also announced its “AI Robotics Commercialization Acceleration” strategy. The group outlined a scenario to expand the use of physical AI into daily life, led by next-generation humanoid robots and mobile robot platforms.
