The trading volume is 844,012 shares, which is 18.09% of the previous day's volume. KEPCO is known as a special corporation established under the Korea Electric Power Corporation Act.


On January 20, Kyungwon Moon, a researcher at Meritz Securities, stated, "2021 operating profit forecast significantly downgraded (4.0 trillion KRW → 1.5 trillion KRW). Factors include 1) ASP decline due to fuel cost linkage system, 2) rising oil prices, 3) reduction in base power plant generation capacity, and 4) decline in coal utilization rate. Under the fuel cost linkage system, the company's performance worsens when raw material prices start a V-shaped rebound." He set KEPCO's target price at 32,000 KRW.


Over the past five days, individual investors have net purchased 3,227,260 shares of KEPCO, while foreigners and institutions have net purchased 1,268,039 shares and net sold 3,438,227 shares, respectively.
