Korea Electric Power: Dividends Are Back And Outlook Is Positive

I am still bullish on Korea Electric Power stock, considering its prospects and capital return. KEP has resumed dividend distributions, and its expected FY25 yield is at the high-single digit level. KEP should continue to deliver positive earnings on the back of drivers like operating leverage, a favorable change in generation mix, and lower energy-related costs.

Korea Electric Power: South Korea's Power Giant Is On Sale

Korea Electric Power, the sole electricity distributor in South Korea, has faced significant challenges from 2021 to 2023, causing its stock price to plummet -71.19% from its ATH. Increased production costs, inability to pass costs to consumers, high debt, and political instability have contributed to KEP's financial struggles. KEPCO's monopoly status, cost management strategies, improved operating environment, and potential political reforms indicate it can weather the crisis and potentially thrive.

Korea Electric Power: Catalysts Are Still Intact

It is highly probable that KEP will re-initiate dividends for the current fiscal year, judging by the positive read-throughs from the company's recent management commentary. Korea Electric Power is likely to be in the black again in FY 2024, and a key earnings driver will be a higher nuclear power generation contribution. I leave my existing Buy rating for KEP unchanged, as the catalysts for an earnings turnaround and dividend re-initiation are still intact.
