Korea Exchange data compiled as of June 2 showed shares of Hyundai Motor, Hyundai Mobis, Kia, and LG Electronics rose an average of 155% this year as investors bet on robotics and physical AI.

LG Electronics climbed from 91,400 won (US$60) to 392,500 won (US$260) after saying it would publicly demonstrate CLOiD at CES 2026.

The company described the AI home robot as performing tasks such as preparing breakfast and handling laundry at home.

Hyundai Motor Group-related stocks also gained on expectations for Boston Dynamics’ Atlas.

Boston Dynamics, a US robotics company owned by Hyundai Motor Group, said production of the commercial version of its fully electric humanoid robot would begin immediately.

The company added that initial 2026 deployments have been committed to Hyundai’s Robotics Metaplant Application Center and Google DeepMind.

Boston Dynamics has also said Hyundai Motor Group plans to deploy tens of thousands of its robots in manufacturing facilities.

Hyundai Mobis also said it would supply actuators for Atlas, giving investors a more direct hardware link to the humanoid robot theme.

Sentiment also improved after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said robotics was one of the company’s biggest interests in South Korea ahead of his visit later that week.
