6B Metaplant Georgia online (300k units/yr, IRA-qualified), and SK On/LGES battery JVs derisking cell supply. Boston Dynamics ownership is an embodied-AI call option few autos carry.
Bull case:
- E-GMP platform competitive on range/charge speed vs $TSLA Model Y; Ioniq 5/6/9 + Kia EV9 winning EV-of-the-Year awards across regions
- Metaplant Georgia (HMGMA) qualifies Ioniq 5/9 + EV9 for $7.5k IRA credit, removing the biggest US headwind
- Boston Dynamics Atlas humanoid + Stretch warehouse robot = embodied-AI optionality at near-zero implied valuation
- Trading ~5x earnings, ~0.4x sales - deep value vs $TM (8x), $GM (5x), $F (7x); 4-5% dividend yield
- Korea Value-Up program pressuring chaebols to unwind cross-holdings, potential re-rating catalyst
Bear case:
- BYD + Chinese OEMs (~$BYDDY, Geely, SAIC) crushing global EV pricing; Hyundai exited China retail in 2024
- Trump tariff regime (25% on Korean autos floated) directly hits 1.7M US-sold units
- Boston Dynamics still pre-revenue at scale; humanoid commercialization timeline 2027+
- Korea discount persists - chaebol governance, won/USD FX drag, low foreign float on KRX listing
- Legacy ICE mix (~80% of volume) decelerating; hybrid bridge thesis depends on Toyota-style execution
