Valuing Korea Electric Power Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Korea Electric Power Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Korea Electric Power Corporation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 150x. In other words, Korea Electric Power Corporation shares trade at around 150x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.

There are currently 212,904 Korea Electric Power Corporation shares held short by investors – that's known as Korea Electric Power Corporation's "short interest". This figure is 2.6% up from 207,580 last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Korea Electric Power Corporation shares can be evaluated.
Korea Electric Power Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Korea Electric Power Corporation shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Korea Electric Power Corporation shares traded daily (recently around 103351.45631068). Korea Electric Power Corporation's SIR currently stands at 2.06. In other words for every 100,000 Korea Electric Power Corporation shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2060 shares are currently held short.
However Korea Electric Power Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Korea Electric Power Corporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable Korea Electric Power Corporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Korea Electric Power Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Korea Electric Power Corporation shares in existence, roughly 0 shares are currently held short) or 0% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Korea Electric Power Corporation shares, roughly 0 shares are currently held short).
Such a low SIR usually points to an optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against Korea Electric Power Corporation.
