Stock Outlook
The 2026 outlook depends on its dividend attractiveness backed by stable gas revenues and the materialization of new hydrogen and green energy businesses. Solid performance is expected due to increased winter demand and stabilized raw material cost pass-through. If the company participates in value-up programs and implements treasury stock policies to address its undervaluation, it is likely to be re-rated as a core value stock.

2026 Outlook Scenario
In a positive scenario, the stock price could surge significantly as the commercial operation of hydrogen plants coincides with an increase in the dividend payout ratio to over 30%. In a neutral scenario, it will maintain a steady upward curve based on stable gas profits and high dividends exceeding 5% annually. In a conservative scenario, concerns over profitability delays might arise if energy price structures are reformed, but its monopoly status will provide a firm bottom for earnings.
