Hyundai establishes directly-owned distributor in Malaysia

Hyundai Motor Company announced that it has established a new subsidiary in Malaysia, giving the South Korean brand a direct presence in South-east Asia's second-largest market. The new company, Hyundai Motor Malaysia (HMM) – headquartered in Kuala Lumpur, will effectively take over as Hyundai's distributor in the country from local conglomerate Sime Darby, while continuing to use the company's dealer network. Sime Darby's automotive division, Sime Darby Motors, has vehicle distribution and dealer operations across the Asia-Pacific region, for brands such as BMW, Mini, Rolls-Royce, Ford, Land Rover, Porsche, Suzuki and Mitsubishi. It also has a majority-owned contract assembler, Inokom Corporation, located in Malaysia's Kedah State. Hyundai confirmed that the new company will assume full responsibility in Malaysia for the brand's 'marketing, sales and customer experience, with a dedicated local team empowered to make faster, market-relevant decisions and deliver a more connected, customer-first approach. This is underpinned by deeper market commitment, enhanced customer engagement and a renewed focus on innovation and long-term growth.' HMM will allow Hyundai to 'actively expand its dedicated Malaysian team, laying the foundation for a robust nationwide dealer network.' The new company is expected to employ around 100 people by the end of the year. Jeffrey Gan, managing director of Sime Darby Motors, said in a statement: "We are proud to have played a pivotal role in Hyundai's growth in Malaysia. As Hyundai embarks on its next phase, we remain committed to supporting its sales and aftersales operations, ensuring continuity, confidence, and a seamless service experience for existing and future Hyundai customers.' Hyundai's vehicles are currently assembled locally by Inokom, at its facility in Kedah State. The South Korean automaker is currently building a new MYR 2.2 billion (US$ 520 million) vehicle production plant in Kedah in collaboration with Inokom, which is expected to become operational in the third quarter of 2025. Hyundai confirmed that it plans to launch three new SUV and MPV models in Malaysia in the near future.

Tesla (NasdaqGS:TSLA) Expands Into Indian Market With First Showrooms Opening In July

Tesla marked a significant milestone with a 29% increase in its share price over the last quarter, aligning with broader market trends despite facing challenges. The announcement of opening its first showrooms in India represents a substantial step into a key market, potentially boosting investor sentiment. Meanwhile, the resignation of a key executive and the inclusion of a new board member might have created mixed reactions, though these were countered by expanded market opportunities like Tesla's Supercharger accessibility for Kia EV owners. Amidst geopolitical tensions influencing oil prices, Tesla's strategic moves seem to have positively reinforced its quarterly performance. We've discovered 2 warning signs for Tesla that you should be aware of before investing here. Explore 26 top quantum computing companies leading the revolution in next-gen technology and shaping the future with breakthroughs in quantum algorithms, superconducting qubits, and cutting-edge research. The recent developments at Tesla hold promising implications for its strategic vision and broader market appeal. The significant strides into the Indian market, coupled with enhanced Supercharger opportunities, are poised to elevate revenue streams by expanding Tesla's global footprint. Over the last five years, the company's total shareholder return exceeded 403%, underscoring its capacity to capitalize on emerging opportunities and engage investor confidence. In the shorter term, Tesla's shares surpassed the US market return of 10.4% and the US Auto industry's 61.9% over the past year, although its high volatility suggests mixed investor sentiment. Recent executive changes and new board appointments, while initially may have unsettled sentiment, could potentially drive the company's strategic advancements by bringing fresh perspectives to leadership. The anticipated influence of Tesla's ventures like the robotaxi, Cybercab, and Optimus humanoid robots aims to open new revenue channels that may positively affect earnings forecasts, potentially contributing to an expected annual earnings growth of 27.5% over the next three years. The short-term 29% share price increase reflects investor optimism, though the current price of US$275.35 is just 4.9% shy of the analyst consensus price target of US$289.44, indicating a perceived fair valuation based on projected earnings and profit margins.

US Supreme Court declines to speed up decision on taking up fight over Trump tariffs

By Andrew Chung WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. Supreme Court declined on Friday to speed up its consideration of whether to take up a challenge to President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs even before lower courts have ruled in the dispute. The Supreme Court denied a request by a family-owned toy company, Learning Resources, that filed the legal challenge against Trump's tariffs to expedite the review of the dispute by the nation's top judicial body. The company, which makes educational toys, won a court ruling on May 29 that Trump cannot unilaterally impose tariffs using the emergency legal authority he had cited for them. That ruling is currently on hold, leaving the tariffs in place for now. Learning Resources asked the Supreme Court to take the rare step of immediately hearing the case to decide the legality of the tariffs, effectively leapfrogging the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in Washington, where the case is pending. Two district courts have ruled that Trump's tariffs are not justified under the law he cited for them, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Both of those cases are on appeal. No court has yet backed the sweeping emergency tariff authority Trump has claimed.
