South Korea’s Corporate Governance Overhaul Sparks Market Transformation

South Korea’s stock market has surged to unprecedented levels amid sweeping corporate governance reforms. Regulatory changes are shifting power from dominant families to minority investors, with hundreds of companies already responding to the “value-up” initiative.

Market Performance Reaches Historic Highs

South Korea’s stock market has reportedly achieved record-breaking performance in 2025, with the KOSPI 200 index surging by 69% in local currency terms, according to market analysis. This dramatic upturn significantly outpaces the 15% gain recorded by America’s S&P 500 during the same period. Sources indicate that while artificial-intelligence enthusiasm has benefited major chipmakers like Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, the primary driver appears to be a government-backed campaign to improve corporate governance and eliminate the longstanding “Korea discount” on stock valuations.

Tesla Q3 Earnings Preview: Revenue Rebound Expected Amid Market Challenges

Tesla is projected to report 4.7% revenue growth for Q3 following two straight quarterly declines. The electric vehicle maker faces headwinds from European sales slumps and brand ranking deterioration while investors await updates on Robotaxi and new vehicle launches.

Anticipated Revenue Rebound

Tesla is reportedly positioned to return to revenue growth when it reports third-quarter results, with analysts suggesting a 4.7% increase from the $25.18 billion reported a year earlier, according to LSEG-compiled estimates. This would mark a significant reversal after the company experienced two consecutive quarters of year-over-year revenue declines. However, sources indicate early projections for the fourth quarter show revenue dropping 1.2%, suggesting the recovery might be temporary.
