Hyundai Motor’s 4Q profit up 13 per cent but 2013 profit inches down
– canadianbusiness.com
SEOUL, South Korea – Hyundai Motor Co. said its fourth-quarter profit increased 13 per cent over a year earlier thanks to higher overseas sales.
But its earnings for the whole of 2013 fell, underlining Hyundai’s waning popularity among Korean consumers and labour strife.
South Korea’s largest automaker said Thursday its fourth-quarter profit reached 2.1 trillion won ($2 billion) compared with 1.9 trillion won a year earlier.
Hyundai’s 2013 profit dropped 1 per cent to 9 trillion won. Hyundai blamed lower demand from domestic consumers and production disruptions caused by strikes. Automakers from Europe and the U.S. expanded their sales in South Korea by introducing cheaper models and benefiting from free trade deals that phased out tariffs.
Hyundai, the maker of Genesis sedan, also attributed currency rates for its lower annual profit. The South Korean won posted gains against the U.S. dollar while Japanese automakers enjoyed the benefits of a cheaper yen as a result of the Bank of Japan’s aggressive monetary easing…

Executive Pay at Canadian Public Companies – More Good than Bad
– http://canadianfinancialdiy.blogspot.ca
One of the problems with studies like the one The Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives’ Hugh Mackenzie has come out with, All in a Day’s Work? (CEO Pay in Canada), is that it tars all companies and their executives with the same black brush. As I compiled the data to do some posts (Over-paid CEOs, Fairly-paid CEOs) on my other blog about the really bad (at least from an investor’s viewpoint) companies and some good companies, there was some data that I did not use on the pay received by the companies’ Named Executive Officers (NEOs) i.e. the top managers.The DataMy data looks at the change between 2007, in the heady good time just before the financial crisis and the stock market was at a peak, to 2012. So it isn’t taking a market low for stock prices that company executives could easily beat just by hanging around through the recovery.There are 39 companies in the table, a mix of big ones, such as are in Mackenzie’s list (8 of his top 10), but also smaller ones.
