The latest update is out from Korea Electric Power ( (KEP) ).
On March 10, 2026, KEPCO filed its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, prepared under K-IFRS, and on March 12, 2026 it amended and restated that audit report. The 2025 audit, which included an unmodified opinion on both the consolidated financial statements and internal control over financial reporting, highlighted key audit areas such as impairment testing of electricity sales-related assets and provisions for nuclear decommissioning costs, while noting that the financial statements have not yet been approved by shareholders and remain subject to change.
The auditor flagged the impairment assessment of property, plant and equipment tied to electricity sales as significant, given the sensitivity of value-in-use calculations to assumptions on unit sales prices and discount rates. It also underscored the material nuclear decommissioning provision of KRW 24.2 trillion at year-end 2025, signaling the scale of long-term obligations facing KEPCO and the importance of management’s estimates for investors and other stakeholders, even as final figures may be revised following shareholder review.
The most recent analyst rating on (KEP) stock is a Hold with a $17.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Korea Electric Power stock, see the KEP Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on KEP Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, KEP is a Neutral.
The score is supported primarily by extremely attractive headline valuation (low P/E and very high yield) and a clear earnings turnaround. Offsetting this are elevated leverage and only moderate cash conversion, while technicals remain weak despite oversold signals; the latest earnings call reinforces improved operations but highlights ongoing provision and policy-related uncertainty.
