Report Summary
UBS downgrades Hyundai Mobis from Buy to Neutral after a 33% rally since May, arguing that humanoid robot upside is now mostly priced in. The PT is raised 15% to Won600,000 at 12.5x 2026E P/E, reflecting greater clarity on Mobis’s role in Boston Dynamics’ Atlas robot deployment, but the broker warns that core auto business headwinds (cost inflation, flat production growth) and stretched valuation (12x vs. 8x historical average) limit further upside. Robot component revenue is expected to contribute less than 2% of operating profit by 2030.
