Third-quarter performance and expansion plans

HD Hyundai Electric reported a mixed third-quarter performance on October 27, 2026. According to Yonhap News Agency, net profit fell 3.6 percent year over year to KRW 184.2 billion in the July-to-September period.

Revenue growth, weaker bottom line

Sales increased 18.5 percent to KRW 1.17 trillion, while operating profit rose 15.1 percent to KRW 284.5 billion. The earnings nevertheless fell short of market expectations: the average analyst estimate for net profit was KRW 226.8 billion.

HD Hyundai Electric attributed the sales growth to strong demand for power transformers in North America and high-voltage circuit breakers in the Middle East. Power distribution equipment and transformers also supported sales in North America and South Korea.

Order backlog supports capacity expansion

The order backlog stood at USD 8.84 billion at the end of September. The company also announced plans to expand its power distribution campus in Cheongju, central South Korea, to meet demand from artificial intelligence data centers and other power infrastructure projects.

For investors, the results point to continued demand across the electrical-equipment portfolio, but they also show that revenue growth did not translate into higher net income in the quarter. The shortfall against expectations and the planned capacity expansion will remain important factors when assessing execution and future margin development.
