Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) is trading at 21,300 KRW as of 10:30 AM on the 12th, up 0.24% from the previous day. The trading volume is 1,849,357 shares, which is about 41.46% of the previous day's volume. KEPCO is known as a special corporation established under the Korea Electric Power Corporation Act.


On November 10, researcher Moon Kyung-won from Meritz Securities stated, "The increase in costs due to the expansion of renewable energy will eventually lead to a revision of electricity rates. However, the timing of the revision is crucial. While the fuel cost linkage system is likely to be implemented, it is difficult to expect the immediate implementation of a power purchase cost linkage system that reflects environmental costs. The impact of offshore wind power projects on shareholder value is minimal. However, the contribution from an ESG perspective is interpreted positively. Ultimately, the rate revision is judged to be the final key to stock price increase. Expected DPS is 900 KRW in 2020 (dividend yield 4.4%) and 950 KRW in 2021 (dividend yield 4.7%)." The target price for KEPCO was announced as 25,000 KRW.


Over the past five days, individual investors have net purchased 562,698 shares of KEPCO, while foreign investors and institutions have net sold 435,845 shares and 371,800 shares, respectively.
