Doosan Enerbility was trading at 77,900 won on the morning of the 8th, showing weakness for the second consecutive trading day. The price is down 2,600 won from the previous day, a decline of about 3.23%.

Despite positive securities industry assessments of the company's nuclear power and gas turbine businesses and expanding electricity demand from artificial intelligence (AI) data centers, the stock failed to escape weakness during the day's session. Business growth expectations and short-term stock movements are diverging.

▲ Samsung Securities Report: “Business Portfolio from Nuclear Power to Gas Turbines Draws Attention”

In a report on Doosan Enerbility released on the 2nd, Samsung Securities highlighted the company's business portfolio spanning nuclear power to gas turbines, evaluating that the company is positioned to respond to rising electricity demand from AI data centers.

In the nuclear sector, expanding orders for large-scale nuclear plants at home and abroad and collaboration with small modular reactor (SMR) designers were cited as key growth drivers. Samsung Securities expected that, based on these expanding partnerships, Doosan Enerbility would secure a competitive edge in the fourth-generation reactor market as well.

Gas turbines were also presented as a business that would drive future orders. Samsung Securities projected that as interest in gas turbines grows as a power source capable of responding to startup and shutdown operations, Doosan Enerbility's entry into the oligopolistic market would lead to continued new orders.

The report's focus is on the possibility that rising electricity demand could translate into business opportunities for both nuclear power and gas turbines. It analyzed that large nuclear plant orders, next-generation reactor partnerships, and expanded gas turbine supply could all act as growth drivers together.

However, these assessments are forward-looking projections about future business and orders. It is difficult to determine the specific cause of the day's stock decline based solely on the report's contents. With shares down more than 3% intraday, whether future actual orders and earnings support securities industry expectations is a key factor to watch.
