Hyundai Motor Recognized for Industry-Leading Management Excellence in 2026 Extel Asia Executive Team Survey
SEOUL, May 14, 2026 – Hyundai Motor Company has been recognized for its outstanding management capabilities and corporate governance in the prestigious 2026 Extel Asia Executive Team survey.
The company ranked No. 1 overall among 69 companies in the Asia Auto & Auto Parts sector, excluding mainland China and Japan, underscoring the investment community’s strong confidence in Hyundai Motor’s leadership and strategic direction.
The survey, conducted from November to December 2025, gathers votes from buy-side institutional investors and sell-side analysts to rank leading companies and executives across major equity markets, including the U.S., Europe and Asia.
Hyundai Motor’s executive leadership received high marks across the board. The company’s CEO, José Muñoz, ranked second overall among buy-side investors and second on a combined buy-side and sell-side basis in the Asia Auto & Auto Parts sector, excluding mainland China and Japan. The evaluation, based on leadership, credibility and communication, highlighted a particularly strong performance in the credibility category.
These rankings reflect the hard work of our entire organization, including our finance team, our IR professionals, our board, and every employee executing our strategy with discipline and focus. Investors are recognizing our strong fundamentals and consistent execution. We say what we're going to do, and we do it. That credibility gives us room to make long-term decisions in a rapidly changing industry. I'm proud of this team, and grateful for the confidence our investors continue to place in us.
Hyundai Motor Company President and CEO
Hyundai Motor demonstrated comprehensive strength by securing the No. 1 position in several key corporate governance categories. Within the Asia Auto & Auto Parts sector (excluding mainland China and Japan), the company was ranked first by both combined and buy-side investors for its Investor Relations (IR) Program, Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) initiatives, and Board of Directors.
Notably, among all Korean companies across every sector, Hyundai Motor also achieved the No. 1 ranking for both its ESG initiatives and Board of Directors on both a combined and buy-side basis. These results are primarily evaluated based on the timeliness and consistency of the company's communication through various IR channels, including non-deal roadshows (NDRs) and the CEO Investor Day.
