Korea Hot Stocks- Hyundai Motor up

SEOUL, Feb 27 (Reuters) - The following is one of stocks on the move on Thursday on the Korea Stock Exchange:

**HYUNDAI MOTOR UP ON BROKERAGE'S RATINGS UPGRADE**

Shares of Hyundai Motor Co rose 0.4 percent to 25,400 won, bucking the market's weakness, after a brokerage house recommended "buy" for the country's top auto maker.

"We recommend 'buy' for Hyundai as strong overseas sales will compensate for slow domestic sales," said Ahn Soo-wong, an analyst at Hanwha Securities.

The benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index was down 2.15 percent to 575.55 at 0157 GMT.
