Korea Electric Power's profits have fallen sharply from 2025 levels while its shares have dropped about 35% over the past year, though the data shows little on the reasons beyond high oil prices and rate cuts.
Korea Electric Power is the main electricity seller in South Korea, and its trailing twelve-month revenue is about ₩97.6T with an operating margin of 12.8%, lower than the 13.8% it posted in 2025. The share price is ₩28,000, close to its 52-week low of ₩27,800 and far below the 52-week high of ₩69,500, and the company carries high borrowings of ₩133.4T against ₩2.6T of cash. A broker cut its target price to ₩40,000 on October 19, citing higher oil prices and electricity rate cuts.
What stands out
- Trailing net income is about ₩7.8T, down from ₩8.5T in 2025 and well below the 2021 to 2022 losses that were reported in the annual data.
- The stock trades at 2.3 times earnings and 0.4 times book value, with a 5.5% dividend yield shown in the valuation data.
- Debt is high, with liabilities at 406% of equity and trailing free cash flow of about ₩1.6T.
- Foreign ownership eased from 21.1% to 20.5% over about 60 days, and foreign investors were net sellers over the last 20 trading days while institutions were net buyers.
- Recent headlines include a report that the company's bonds are near their legal borrowing limit, and a filing on a serious accident at a consolidated subsidiary in June 2026.
What to watch
- The next results release, given that the company's earnings are described as under pressure from high oil prices and electricity rate cuts.
- Whether bond issuance is constrained by the reported legal borrowing limit, and any related electricity bill decisions.
- Follow-up filings on the June 2026 subsidiary accident and any responses to rumour or news reports.
