Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) is trading at 23,950 KRW as of 9:30 AM on the 14th, up 0.63% from the previous day. The trading volume is 1,883,438 shares, which is about 13.8% of the previous day's volume. KEPCO is known as a special corporation established under the Korea Electric Power Corporation Act.


On December 10, Sung Hyun Hwang, a researcher at Eugene Investment & Securities, stated, "This is because the valuation applied is based on Korea Gas Corporation, which maintains an appropriate ROE due to the implementation of the fuel cost linkage system, and there is a 42.9% upside potential from the current stock price. With the introduction of the linkage system, it is expected that stable investment and dividend resources can be secured, similar to overseas companies where power production costs are linked to sales costs. We believe that the stock price will continue to rise as the valuation discount is resolved. If the increasing environmental costs are additionally included in the tariff revision, the appropriate stock price is expected to rise up to 43,000 KRW." He set the target price for KEPCO at 32,000 KRW.


Over the past five days, individual investors have net sold 5,810,023 shares of KEPCO, while foreign investors and institutions have net bought 1,861,857 shares and 3,643,187 shares, respectively.
