2026-03-12 08:53 KST Newsis reports that Samsung Securities raised its target price for KEPCO to 70,000 won while maintaining a โ€˜Buyโ€™ rating, forecasting that 2026 could mark another year of record operating profit. The report cites the grid connection of Saeul (Shin Kori) Units 3 and 4, an 89% nuclear utilization target at subsidiary KHNP, and prior electricity tariff hikes as key earnings drivers, estimating that a 1%pt rise in nuclear utilization adds ~290 billion won to operating profit and highlighting a very favorable industry backdrop excluding shortโ€‘term oil spikes.

2026-03-12 07:38 KST Edaily, via Nate, relays Samsung Securitiesโ€™ view that expanding nuclear capacity and higher utilization will support continued earnings improvement at KEPCO and could enable another allโ€‘timeโ€‘high profit if the Iran-related oil shock is shortโ€‘lived. The piece stresses that seven rounds of electricity rate hikes since 2022 have created sufficient buffer against fuel price volatility and notes KEPCOโ€™s 2026 P/B of ~0.5x, over 60% below global power peers, alongside the 70,000 won target and โ€˜Buyโ€™ recommendation.

2026-03-11 (KST) Popular Korean Telegram channel โ€œHodolryโ€ summarizes Samsung Securitiesโ€™ KEPCO report under the title โ€œA year when another record-high profit is expected,โ€ highlighting that nuclear expansion (Saeul 3 & 4) and higher utilization can drive another record year in 2026. The summary reiterates the 70,000 won target price, sensitivity of ~2.9 trillion won in operating profit per 1%pt utilization increase, the earnings buffer from recent electricity price hikes, and KEPCOโ€™s c.~0.5x P/B valuation at more than a 60% discount to global utilities, framing the stock as having strong upside.

2026-02-25 17:00 KST Equity-analysis site Pandarank updates a detailed January 21 article explaining that KEPCOโ€™s share price has surged about 42% year-to-date to a new 52โ€‘week high on expectations of a structural earnings turnaround. The piece attributes the strength to lower fuel costs while tariffs stay elevated, projected nuclear utilization around 89%, resumed dividends, and consensus forecasts for 2026 operating profit to rise roughly 31% YoY, noting that brokers have been lifting their target prices as fundamentals and policy support align.
