1. Management Bullish on the Sales
- For the next fiscal year i.e. FY2026, management is expecting the growth in export from Indian facilities to be around 7-8%. The export would be done mainly to emerging economies where the demand of Hyundai vehicles is rapidly increasing.
2. RBI Rate Cut Boosting Auto Demand
- The Reserve Bank’s recent 50 bps rate cut is expected to reduce financing costs, boosting vehicle affordability and demand across automakers – Hyundai included. This factor is common for all auto makers and resulted in rally of other shares as well.
3. Strong EV Momentum & Green Investment
- Hyundai is ramping up its EV lineup in India, a sector with rising investor interest.
- Coupled with recent renewable energy investments, this aligns with global ESG trends, boosting investor sentiment.
4. Record Trading Volumes
- The rally was accompanied by heavy trading, showing solid institutional and retail participation, reinforcing the confidence in the stock.
🧭 Broader Context: Earnings & Strategy
- Q4 FY25 results: Slight dip in profit (~3.7% to ₹1,614 crore), yet healthy EBITDA margins (14.1%) and a Rs 21 dividend per share sparked gains over the past month.
- Earlier price hikes across its model line boosted margins and showed adaptive pricing strategy.
