상승 영향
- Defense — Korea Aerospace Industries successfully delivered two FA-50M light attack aircraft to Malaysia, strengthening its earnings growth momentum.
- Automotive — Kia proved its solid earnings growth with a 10.3% increase in October sales, backed by strong overseas SUV demand.
하락 영향
- Electric Vehicles — A slowdown in demand was confirmed as Hyundai's overall October sales dropped by 6.3% and KG Mobility plummeted by 31.3%.
DYAX 전담 분석
Hyundai's drop in October sales and KG Mobility's 31.3% plunge reflect contraction in the domestic consumer market and mounting pressure from a slowdown in overseas demand. In particular, the sluggish performance of major finished car manufacturers triggers negative cost pressures and profitability deterioration across the related parts supply chain.
Going forward, the government's EV tax benefit policies and the sustainability of overseas SUV demand will serve as key rebound indicators. Companies with robust export portfolios, like Kia, will maintain strength, but those heavily dependent on domestic demand are expected to face increasing downside pressure on stock prices.
