Hyundai E&C announced an energy-centered medium- to long-term growth strategy. Through this, the company has revealed its goal of achieving 40 trillion won in sales and an 8% operating profit margin by 2030.
Hyundai E&C noted that it held the '2025 CEO Investor Day' on the 28th at the Fairmont Hotel in Yeouido, Seoul, on the 30th.
Hyundai E&C announced 'H-Road,' a medium- to long-term growth strategy aimed at realizing its future vision. The company presented strategies to expand its nuclear-centered energy business, financial goals, and shareholder return policies.
H-Road focuses on three key concepts: ▲ Energy Transition Leader ▲ Global Key Player ▲ Core Competency Focus.
Hyundai E&C plans to lead sustainable energy innovation as an 'Energy Transition Leader' focusing on nuclear power projects, including large-scale nuclear power plants and small modular reactors (SMRs).
To achieve this, the company will expand its influence in areas such as large nuclear power plants, SMRs, hydrogen production plants, and power grids while proposing new package products like data centers linked with nuclear power plants, establishing a value chain encompassing the entire energy industry from production to storage to transportation to utilization.
Hyundai E&C aims to optimize its country-specific portfolios based on high-value-added technologies and strengthen localization strategies with local leading companies, focusing on advanced markets in Europe, the United States, and Oceania to enhance market dominance.
With the goal of enhancing energy security, Hyundai E&C plans to establish a business base for large nuclear power plants in Bulgaria, starting with this country, and gradually expand its presence across Europe. In the United States, where electricity demand is surging due to the expansion of the artificial intelligence (AI) industry, the company will primarily focus on energy sectors such as nuclear, solar, and LNG, as well as data center projects.
Hyundai E&C plans to solidify its leading position in the global construction industry by enhancing differentiated products and strengthening its core competencies. In particular, the company intends to respond to global environmental changes by concentrating its capabilities in areas such as data centers, offshore wind, and hydrogen and ammonia, where it already possesses excellent capabilities and performance.
To provide a differentiated living experience, the company will accelerate technological innovations such as reducing inter-floor noise and integrating healthcare while also launching complex development projects to expand revenues.
Lee Han-woo, CEO of Hyundai E&C, said, 'By successfully executing the three strategies of H-Road, we aim to increase our order size from the current 17.5 trillion won to 25 trillion won by 2030, especially increasing the share of energy-related sales to 21%. We will do our utmost to create a sustainable society in harmony with people, technology, and nature with the mission of creating a new era beyond space.'
Hyundai E&C also announced its strategies to realize H-Road, aiming to achieve more than 40 trillion won in sales and an operating profit margin of over 8% (on a consolidated basis) by 2030 through growth centered on the energy industry, portfolio optimization, and the establishment of a revenue-based management system.
This represents an increase of 29% in orders and 33% in sales, and an increase of more than 4 percentage points in the operating profit margin compared to previously announced management targets for the year.
The shareholder return policy based on medium- to long-term profitability will also be strengthened. Starting this year, the minimum dividend per share will be adjusted from the previous 600 won to 800 won, increased by 33%. The company plans to flexibly operate share buybacks and retirements, aiming to expand the total shareholder return rate to over 25% by 2027.
