7. News
Korea Electric Power Corporation Files 2023 Annual Report on Form 20-F NAJU, South Korea , April 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- On April 30, 2024, Korea Electric Power Corporation (NYSE: KEP) ("KEPCO") filed its annual report including audited consolidated financial statements on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The report is available at KEPCO's website, home.kepco.co.kr/kepco/EN/ (Investor Relations – IR Information – U.S. Filing), as well as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission website, www.sec.gov. prnewswire.com - 6 months ago
Korea Electric Power: New CEO Appointment Is A Positive Development Kim Dong-cheol was recently appointed as Korea Electric Power's new CEO, and he replaces Cheong Seung-il who previously disclosed in May he wished to step down as CEO. A meaningful increase in the electricity tariff rate and a faster pace of revenue diversification are some of the key goals set by the new CEO. I have a favorable view of the new CEO appointment, and this explains why I have maintained my Buy rating for KEP. seekingalpha.com - 1 year ago
Korea Electric Power: Still Bullish Considering Improved Outlook Korea Electric Power's Q2 2023 performance is expected to be better as compared to the first quarter, considering an electricity tariff hike and lower purchased power costs. KEP's high financial leverage isn't a major concern, taking into account Fitch's credit rating, its debt maturity profile, and asset monetization plans. I leave my Buy rating for Korea Electric Power unchanged, after assessing KEP's financial outlook and its credit risks. seekingalpha.com - 1 year ago
Korea Electric Power: Good Recovery Prospects Justify A Positive Re-Rating Korea Electric Power is expected to witness a narrowing of losses in 2023, prior to turning profitable in 2024. Actions taken by the Korean government like tariff hikes and the SMP cap should enable KEP to achieve a better set of results in the near future. seekingalpha.com - 1 year ago
Korea Electric Power: Things Can Continue To Get Better Korea Electric Power's shares staged a strong recovery jumping by +49% in the past two months after hitting a new 52-week trough in late-October. The positive catalysts for KEP include tariff hikes, purchased power cost savings, asset sales, and capex optimization. seekingalpha.com - 1 year ago
Korea Electric Power: Positive Changes Korea Electric Power's most recent quarterly metrics were poor; Q2 2022 operating losses for the company widened on a YoY basis, and its gross financial leverage ratio rose to 179%. But there are positive changes for KEP, as seen with the recent actions taken by the government and the company. seekingalpha.com - 2 years ago
KEPCO At The Crossroads With Low Carbon Power - Nuclear And/Or Renewables? KEPCO has a monopoly in power generation, transmission and distribution in South Korea, which is a country with a major fossil fuel-based power component. The South Korean commitment is to decarbonize power, but how KEPCO will manage this is unclear between renewables and nuclear power. seekingalpha.com - 2 years ago
Korea Electric Power: Short-Term Pain, Long-Term Gain Korea Electric Power is expected to remain loss-making in 2022 as a result of rising energy and commodity costs. There could be positive changes in the Korean energy market going forward, which might be beneficial for Korea Electric Power in the long run. seekingalpha.com - 2 years ago
Korea Electric Power: All Eyes On Tariff Hike It is a positive surprise that a tariff hike will be implemented in Q4 2021, notwithstanding the fact that this is only a partial pass-through of the fuel cost increase. seekingalpha.com - 3 years ago
After Plunging 8.1% in 4 Weeks, Here's Why the Trend Might Reverse for Korea Electric Power (KEP) Korea Electric Power (KEP) is technically in oversold territory now, so the heavy selling pressure might have exhausted. This along with strong agreement among Wall Street analysts in raising earnings estimates could lead to a trend reversal for the stock. zacks.com - 3 years ago
Korea Electric Power: Negatives Priced In Korea Electric Power's shares are up in the past two months or so, despite the worst case scenario happening, and this is an indication that negatives are already priced in. The stock currently trades at 0.24 times P/B, which is similar to where it was trading at during the 2008-2009 Global Financial Crisis. seekingalpha.com - 3 years ago
