Hyundai Motor Company announced on May 14 that it has ranked first overall among 69 companies in the 'Autos & Auto Parts' sector in Asia (excluding China and Japan) in the '2026 Extel Asia Executive Team Survey' conducted by the global investor evaluation agency Extel Insights.

Extel Insights is a global investor evaluation agency that selects outstanding companies and management teams by aggregating assessments of Chief Executive Officers (CEO), Chief Financial Officers (CFO), Chief Investor Relations Officers (CIRO), IR programs, ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance), and board operations in major stock markets across the United States, Europe, and Asia.

Each company is evaluated based on its region, and in Asia, Japanese companies are separately assessed in a distinct survey, the 'Extel Japan Executive Team Survey.' The current survey was conducted from November to December last year, and the rankings were determined based on the evaluations of institutional investors and analysts.

Institutional investors and analysts evaluate companies and management teams that have demonstrated outstanding performance in various categories such as CEO, CFO, CIRO, IR programs, ESG, and board operations, and announce the top three in each category. Extel Insights is recognized in the financial investment industry for its broad collection of investor opinions and strict evaluation standards, which give its results a high level of credibility.

Hyundai Motor Company received consistently strong evaluations across all detailed assessment items in this survey, securing the top spot overall in the Autos & Auto Parts sector in Asia (excluding China and Japan). The company also ranked first in the CFO, CIRO, IR program, ESG, and board operations categories.

In particular, for the CFO category, the positive evaluations from investors reflected their approval of the company’s capital policy, which was established and disclosed with management’s consent. In the CEO category, leadership, trustworthiness, and communication were the main evaluation criteria, and Hyundai Motor Company achieved second place in this category.

Hyundai Motor Company has maintained ongoing communication with investors through various IR channels, including non-deal roadshows (NDR) and CEO Investor Day events. These efforts are believed to have contributed to the positive overall feedback in the latest survey.

A Hyundai Motor Company representative stated, “This result reflects the recognition by the global investor community of our continuous communication with investors and efforts to enhance corporate value. Going forward, we will continue to expand communication with shareholders and investors through transparent management and proactive IR activities, thereby further increasing our corporate credibility.”
