Hyundai Motor Co. reported first-quarter earnings that topped analysts’ expectations, driven by strong vehicle sales from North America and favorable exchange rates, which helped ease concern over slowing demand overall and mounting tariff risks.
Operating profit was 3.6 trillion won ($2.5 billion) for the three months ended March 31, compared with the 3.5 trillion won median estimate compiled by Bloomberg. Revenue rose 9.2% from a year ago to 44.4 trillion won, South Korea’s top automaker said.
