Investor sentiment on Hyundai Motor Finance’s performance has been strongly correlated with Hyundai Motor Company’s stock trends, currently trading near a 52-week high due to global supply chain stabilization and robust vehicle sales. GM on Wednesday estimated the industrywide sales pace for the third quarter was 16.7 million to 16.9 million units — higher than some earlier industry estimates, led by gains in EVs. Hyundai Motor did not immediately comment on the report by the Maeil Business Newspaper, which cited unnamed industry sources. Hyundai Motor Finance’s asset-backed securities issued in early 2024 are trading at favorable spreads, as market participants anticipate continued resilience in auto loan repayment rates despite moderate economic headwinds.
