Doosan Enerbility (034020) begins a new week in the mid-64,000-won range. The direction of its share price this week is expected to hinge on whether Korea-US nuclear cooperation materializes and on overseas market trends.

Doosan Enerbility closed at 64,400 won on the KOSPI on the 16th, up 1.73% from the previous trading day. Whether the stock can sustain its rebound amid expanding volatility in the domestic market is a key point to watch. It is necessary to examine both the mid- to long-term growth potential of the nuclear power business and the short-term market environment.

■ Korea-US Nuclear Cooperation: Materialization Is Key One of the key issues in the nuclear power industry recently is whether South Korea and the United States will expand their cooperation. Rising electricity demand in the U.S. and moves to expand nuclear power capacity could translate into new business opportunities for Korean nuclear power companies. In particular, the expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) data centers and growing electricity demand across industries are highlighting the importance of stable power sources. As nuclear power is cited as one of the main alternative power supply options, attention is also focused on the role of companies supplying related facilities and equipment.

However, the key question is whether nuclear cooperation between the two countries will actually materialize into project orders and supply contracts.

■ Weak Wall Street Also a Variable Overseas market movements remain a variable as well. On the 16th (local time), major U.S. indices fell across the board in New York. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 0.34%, while the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite fell 1.09% and 2.15%, respectively. It is hard to rule out the possibility that weakness in U.S. markets will weigh on domestic investor sentiment.

For Doosan Enerbility, the focus is on whether it can secure additional upward momentum at the 64,000-won level. Attention is gathering on how domestic nuclear power stocks will perform in the new week starting on the 19th.
