Below-average quality, screening 48% undervalued on our models.
What matters now
- The large discount to fair value meets weak quality (43/100). That raises the risk this is a value trap rather than a bargain.
- The model range is unusually wide ($9.94 to $36.23). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.

Analysis
Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEP) currently trades at $11.51, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $17.02, implying the stock looks roughly 47.9% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 43/100 (below-average quality), in the Utilities sector. Bull case: trading below our estimate, it may offer upside if the fundamentals hold. Bear case: a low price can be a value trap when quality is weak or the data is thin (evidence: high), always confirm before acting.
Over the trailing twelve months, Korea Electric Power Corporation generated revenue of $97.6T at a net margin of 8.9%. Revenue grew 0.7% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 18.7%. Net debt stands at $131T. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $9.94 (bear case) to $36.23 (bull case); at $11.51, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 51% below its 52-week high and 13% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Utilities peers we cover trades at -27% fair-value upside, at 48%, KEP screens cheaper than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 24 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings ($35.45) versus Growth DCF ($1.77). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
