Investment trends in Asian utilities stocks are discussed. Korea Electric Power Corp., Hong Kong and China Gas Company Ltd. and Henderson Land Development Co. are analyzed as investments.

Kepco, as Korea Electric Power Co. is known, led a consortium that secured a $20.4 billion deal with the United Arab Emirates to build four nuclear power plants there. Kepco will design, construct and assist in the running of the plants from 2017 to 2020. This is the first time Kepco has exported its nuclear technology and the plants will be the first in the Middle East.

Stock analysts are recommending Korea Electric Power Co. (Kepco) as a good stock buy after sustaining a protracted decline. The price of Kepco shares has dropped almost 30% on Feb. 23, 1994, from its 1994 high of 33,600 won as compared to an overall market decline of only 9.2% during the same period. Analysts consider the 25,000 won mark as a good buying level and believe that it could reach 30, 000 won after the imposition of an electricity rate hike.

The Korean government has made 8% of Korean Electric Power available to foreign investors, which has made the price of shares rise to Won20,600 on Dec 03 1992, from Won9,200 in August 1992. The rise was caused by the anticipation of domestic investors that there would be a sudden increase in purchase orders as a result of the offer. The company will also procure foreign funds in the form of bond issues.
