The trailing P/E is only 12.3, the price to net tangible assets is cheap at 0.69, and the Enterprise value to revenue ratio is well below the industry at 1.67. Of the U.S. majors, FPL is the cheapest based on EV/rev at 2.3. KEP price would need to rise 70% to match this EV/rev. KEP also continues to grow.

most utilities are regulated and earn returns off of some sort of equation set by a gov't authority.

EV / Rev would not be an apples to apples comparison for most utilities
