Executive Summary

Korea Electric Power Corp (KEP) trades at a trailing P/E of 3.65 versus an industry average of 20.7, and a price‑to‑book of 0.33, signaling a deep valuation gap. The stock sits just above its calculated support of 15.34 and below the 20‑day SMA of 20.10, but the 30‑day volatility of 60% and an RSI of 30.8 suggest it is oversold and primed for a bounce. MACD remains bearish, yet volume is increasing and the technical trend is flagged as bullish, indicating potential short‑term upside toward the resistance near 23.09. With an upside/downside estimate of 45% and a modest dividend yield of 0.45%, the valuation case is compelling, though the dividend appears marginally sustainable. Overall, KEP presents a classic value play in a regulated utility sector, tempered by high price volatility and modest liquidity.
