  • Halla Holdings (060980 KS ) Undervalued Stock with Limited Risks
    Halla Holdings (060980 KS ) Undervalued stock with limited risks Auto Limited exposure to China risks In 4Q16, major Korean auto parts suppliers suffered sharp margin erosion in Initiation Report China, and this is an issue that warrants continued attention. Given that China’s March 7, 2017 auto and auto parts industries are facing structural margin downtrends, we think that investors should focus on identifying market players that are relatively free from risks to downside. Based on 4Q16 results alone, it appears as though Mando fits the bill, as the company was able to overcome headwinds by pursuing revenue (Initiate) Buy growth via customer and product diversification. However, in our view, Halla Holdings is more attractive than its subsidiary. Indeed, despite its relatively solid Target Price (12M, W) 83,000 performance in 4Q16, Mando is highly exposed to China-related risks , as over 70% of its consolidated operating profit is generated in that country. Meanwhile, only Share Price (03/03/17, W) 61,500 34% of Halla Holdings’ enterprise value (EV) stems from Mando’s net profit and share price. This profile allows Halla Holdings to benefit from Mando’s strong top- Expected Return 35% line growth (in the form of brand royalties), while limiting exposure to margin risk in China. OP (16F, Wbn) 112 Growth potential for MHE, margin improvement for distribution/logistics Consensus OP (16F, Wbn) 107 Mando-Hella Electronics (MHE), which is 50% owned by Halla Holdings, saw its EPS Growth (16F, %) -9.4 revenue grow by a CAGR of 19% from 2013

  • Hyundai's Challenge to Coordinated Capitalism
    Fordism Light: Hyundai’s Challenge to Coordinated Capitalism BRIE Working Paper 186 Copyright by Author March, 2010 Gregory W. Noble Institute of Social Science University of Tokyo ABSTRACT Despite receiving a strikingly pessimistic evaluation in the acclaimed volume The Machine that Changed the World (Womack et al., 1990), the Hyundai-Kia group has overcome numerous crises to become the fourth largest auto producer in the world. Hyundai’s rise is especially striking because the company has repeatedly failed to implement Toyota’s famed “lean production” system. Hyundai’s labor unions, though well paid by Korean standards, have opposed management’s attempts at rationalization, and gone on strike almost every year. Aside from a few key component companies firmly controlled by the Hyundai group, relations with suppliers remain distant and overwhelmingly focused on price. Hyundai’s impressive achievements in improving quality have stemmed from relentless attention by top management and extensive use of quality inspectors rather than from intensive cooperation with workers and suppliers. Corporate governance remains closed and murky. Even after democratization, Korea’s political system has not provided an environment conducive to cooperation and coordination among assemblers, suppliers and labor. Recent studies of manufacturing have focused on the success of “Toyotism” and “coordinated capitalism,” but the rise of Hyundai suggests that firms in upper-tier developing countries with rapidly growing demand and reasonably high-quality human capital can use a modified version of Fordism—mass production of standardized commodities by vertically-integrated firms employing a reasonably paid but not highly incorporated labor force—to achieve great success in international competition even with complex and highly integrated products such as automobiles.
