NEW YORK \u2013 Hyundai Motor<\/a> is increasing its revenue expectations for this year, despite ongoing U.S. tariffs<\/a> causing the automaker to lower its expected operating profit margin for 2025.<\/p>\n

The new targets call for an operating profit margin this year of between 6% and 7%, down from 7% to 8%, and an increase in revenue of between 5% and 6% \u2014 up 2 percentage points \u2014 compared with 175.2 trillion<\/a> South Korean won (US$12.7 billion) in 2024.<\/p>\n

It will be the first time the company has hosted the event outside of South Korea. as well as the first for CEO Jose Munoz, who was promoted to lead the automaker<\/a> beginning this year.<\/p>\n
