Daewoo E&C is poised for a re-evaluation as a significant player in the global nuclear power industry, according to a report by Daishin Securities. The South Korean construction giant recently secured its first overseas nuclear power plant project in the Czech Republic as part of the 'Team Korea' consortium. This achievement marks a crucial step in establishing its international credentials and opens doors for future global ventures. Daishin Securities has initiated coverage with a 'buy' rating and a target price of 28,000 won, signaling strong confidence in the company's prospects. Analyst Lee Hye-jin highlighted the significance of the Czech Dukovany nuclear project, noting it validates Daewoo E&C's construction capabilities, built upon extensive domestic experience. The firm anticipates an expanded role for Daewoo E&C within the 'Team Korea' framework and sees potential for broader participation in the global nuclear value chain if the project is executed successfully. Further opportunities are also anticipated in subsequent projects, including the Temelin nuclear power plant in the Czech Republic and developments in Ninh Thuan, Vietnam. The recent stock price adjustment has also eased valuation concerns, making it an opportune moment for this reassessment.
