Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Buy Opinion On Shares Of Korea Electric Power Corp.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We revised our 12-month target price to USD20 (from USD26), reflecting a 2026 forward P/E 3.7x, below its five-year average P/E of 4.8x, which is justified in our view by potential fluctuations in fuel costs. KEPCO's Q1 2026 revenue grew 0.8% Y/Y to KRW24.4 trillion, while operating profit was up 0.8% Y/Y to KRW3.78 trillion, but below consensus' estimates. Electricity sales volume declined by 0.9% Y/Y to 139.7 TWh. Still, the average selling price per kWh remained stable at KRW 170.4, matching the level seen at the end of 2025. KEPCO managed to offset rising fuel costs through aggressive internal cost-cutting and emergency management, but it sees a possibility that rising international fuel prices and exchange rates due to the Middle East war will act as a burden in H2 2026. We think there has been a fundamental shift in KEPCO's energy mix towards nuclear-heavy weighting, which may help it to improve margins. Maintain Buy.

Research Alert: Kepco Q1 2026: Operating Profit Misses Consensus, Flags Rising Fuel Concerns

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) reported Q1 2026 revenue of KRW24.4T (+0.8% Y/Y) and operating profit of KRW3.78T (+0.8% Y/Y), which was below consensus, with electricity sales volume declining 0.9% Y/Y to 139.7 TWh. The company reduced cumulative operating loss to KRW34T from KRW47.8T at end-2023, while maintaining stable pricing at KRW170.40/kWh through cost management that saved KRW300B via AI-based systems. We believe our investment thesis remains intact, supported by higher tariffs, cost control, and record nuclear utilization with potential export opportunities. Management flagged 2H 2026 fuel cost pressures from Middle East tensions not fully reflected in the Q1 results. We see potential earnings improvement given record nuclear utilization, though the company remains heavily leveraged with KRW206.4T in debt. In our view, fuel cost fluctuations and political risks from populist pressures on electricity pricing remain key overhangs despite supportive government tariff mechanisms.
