Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) is trading at 26,900 KRW as of 2:30 PM on the 8th, down 0.55% from the previous day. The trading volume is 5,648,118 shares, which is 108.85% of the previous day's volume. KEPCO is known as a special corporation established under the Korea Electric Power Corporation Act.


On January 7, Youngho Kim, a researcher at Samsung Securities, stated, "The introduction of a cost-linked electricity tariff system is expected to enhance earnings visibility. Through this reform plan, KEPCO will stably secure the necessary funds to implement the government's eco-friendly policies, thereby improving the credibility of the company's book. The company's valuation has continuously declined since 2016 due to concerns over prolonged tariff freezes, nuclear phase-out, and expansion of renewable energy. Since electricity tariff adjustments, which had been halted since 2013, have resumed, a recovery in valuation is expected." He set KEPCO's target price at 37,500 KRW.


Over the past five days, individual investors have net purchased 2,739,942 shares of KEPCO, while foreigners and institutions have net purchased 215,498 shares and net sold 2,891,824 shares, respectively.
