Equity Bottom-Up

Korea Electric Power (KEPCO) / Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
 <li>
Dominant Market Position with Regulatory Risk: KEPCO is South Korea's state-owned, vertically-integrated utility, holding a monopoly over transmission and distribution and generating the vast majority of the nation's electricity. This provides a wide economic moat, but profitability is highly dependent on government tariff policies, which can lag behind volatile global fuel costs.</li>
 <li>
Dramatic Financial Turnaround: After suffering massive losses in 2022-2023 due to a spike in fuel prices not matched by tariff hikes, KEPCO has returned to significant profitability in 2024. This recovery was driven by subsequent tariff increases, particularly for industrial users, and stabilizing global energy prices.</li>
 <li>
Strategic Pivot Towards New Growth: While navigating high debt levels, management is focused on diversifying revenue streams through overseas projects in nuclear and renewables, and investing in new domestic technologies like smart grids, HVDC transmission, and AI-driven grid management to support the energy transition and meet new demand from data centers.</li>
