Strong sales in SUV and Genesis luxury models, as well as the favorable exchange rate, helped lift revenue in the quarter.

The company expects sales momentum to continue due to improved production status, stronger demand for Hyundai, Genesis-branded models, and lower inventory levels.

Hyundai aims to achieve its annual guidance through increased sales and enhanced product mix with more SUVs and luxury models.

Price Action: HYMTF shares closed higher by 1.18% at $37 on Wednesday.
