4.83 / 10
Netural
KEP's fundamental evaluation is rated Netural with a 4.8/10 score. Strengths include strong cash position (Cash-UP factor), low price-to-book relative to peers (PB-ROE), and high profitability metrics (Profit-MV, Revenue-MV). Weaknesses involve a relatively high long-term debt to working capital ratio (27.19%), which places the company in the second risk quartile. Historical back-tests show that favorable quartiles for key factors like Profit-MV and Revenue-MV have delivered one-month returns of 6-7%, supporting the idea that KEP could improve fundamentals over time, but the debt ratio warrants monitoring.
