AI summaryKorea Electric Power hit a new 52-week low this week, trading as low as $10.92 before closing lower, as a fourth-quarter electricity tariff freeze pressures the outlook following a first-half operating profit decline of 16.6% to KRW 4.9127 trillion. Separately, Eugene Investment & Securities launched an equity-linked bond tied to KEP shares, offering retirement pension investors an annual yield of about 4.20% before tax.
