SEOUL—South Korea’s Hyundai Motor Co. slightly missed analysts’ profit estimates as the global chip crisis drove down vehicle shipments and it said it expects it will take a long time to get back to normal chip supplies.

Hyundai, which together with affiliate Kia Corp. is among the world’s top 10 automakers by sales, reported a net profit of 1.3 trillion won ($1.10 billion) for the July-September quarter.
