Korea Electric Power: Turning Bearish After Q2 Shortfall (Rating Downgrade)
I downgrade Korea Electric Power Corporation to 'Sell' following a substantial Q2 earnings miss and mounting negative catalysts. KEP's 2Q2026 profitability was under pressure from surging fuel costs, a declining nuclear power mix, and sluggish economic growth impacting electricity demand. Rising CapEx, flattish tariff rates, and dividend cuts are potential de-rating catalysts.
