On January 20, researcher Moon Kyung-won of Meritz Securities announced a significant downward revision of the 2021 operating profit forecast (from 4.0 trillion KRW to 1.5 trillion KRW), citing 1) ASP decline due to the fuel cost linkage system, 2) rising oil prices, 3) reduction in base power plant generation capacity, and 4) decreased coal utilization rate. Under the fuel cost linkage system, the company's performance worsens when raw material prices start to rebound in a V-shaped manner. The target price for KEPCO was set at 32,000 KRW.
