HD Construction Equipment reported stronger third-quarter operating performance as construction machinery demand improved and its engine business benefited from data-center power projects. MoneyToday published the figures on October 26, 2026.

Engines add to operating momentum

Revenue reached KRW 2.0915 trillion in the third quarter, while operating profit was KRW 157.7 billion. MoneyToday said the comparison with the prior year was based on the combined results of HD Hyundai Construction Equipment and HD Hyundai Infracore after their integration in January.

The engine business generated KRW 394 billion in revenue, up 24% year over year, and operating profit rose 20% to KRW 55.2 billion. Its operating margin was 14%. The article linked the performance to higher generator-engine sales as data-center electricity demand increased, as well as stronger industrial-engine sales and a focus on higher-margin products.

Capacity expansion is planned

HD Construction Equipment plans to expand production capacity for power-generation engines. The Gunsan plant is scheduled to begin producing megawatt-class diesel generator engines next year, while the Incheon plant is expanding its large gas-engine production line for North American data-center demand.

The construction machinery division recorded revenue of KRW 1.6235 trillion and operating profit of KRW 109.9 billion. Regional demand was mixed, but sales increased in advanced markets, India and Latin America, according to the MoneyToday report. Management expects a gradual recovery in the construction machinery market to continue into the fourth quarter and next year.
