Korea Electric Power: Promising Nuclear Energy Expansion

KEP
Published: October 24, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

Korea Electric Power Corporation has surged approximately 120% year-to-date, which is entirely in line with its nuclear energy focus at a time of bullishness on the sector. The company's nuclear energy expansion into international territories sounds particularly encouraging, spanning from workforce training to building power plants. Despite its price increase, the stock's P/E is still low, which is hard to find these days in the sector.

Korea Electric Power: Bullish On Nuclear, Favorable Tariff Expectations

KEP
Published: September 16, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

Korea Electric Power remains a "Buy," after considering a U.S. nuclear joint venture reported in the media and the anticipated electricity price increases. KEP's potential entry into a partnership with a U.S. company could help to grow its exposure to the nuclear power investment theme. Recent legislation changes and the president's comments increase the likelihood of tariff hikes, which could narrow the national service-related valuation discount for the stock.
