Shares of Hyundai Motor (KRX: 005380) closed the day 2.69% higher after the car producer saw its revenue rise by 2.3% on year to 27.6 trillion won in the third quarter. The company said it witnessed a great demand for its vehicles in the United States and India.
However, Hyundai reported a net loss of 336 billion won ($297.72 million), significantly lower than 1.2 trillion profit expected by the market’s analysts.
A huge loss is a direct result of higher costs as the South Korea-based car producer had to set aside 2.1. trillion won to cover charges related to engine defects.
