📊 Doosan Enerbility, Back Above 60,000 KRW and the 2027 Earnings Question - 2026.10.28

Hey, it’s Onion. Even to a department head who’s watched the market for 30 years, today’s Doosan Enerbility chart looks pretty interesting 🧅 The stock, which had been catching its breath around 60,000 KRW, has climbed again. The key question is whether the order book story will carry through to earnings and the share price.

The “60,000-bility” level is back—let’s look at the market mood first 📈

News came out that Doosan Enerbility shares rose in the 3% range early in trading on October 28, bringing “60,000-bility” back ^[1]. The stock closed at ₩61,500 that day. Well, well~ The rebound on the 27th had also ended a three-trading-day slide, so this latest rise can be seen as a continuation of that move ^[2]. Nuclear-related stocks including KEPCO E&C, Woori Technology, BHI, and KEPCO KPS were also reportedly strong ^[3]. It’s easier to see this as a day when the sector caught a tailwind, rather than a move driven by one company-specific catalyst. The market’s applauding, isn’t it~!

The 2027 earnings story is still just an outlook 🔥

According to a CBC News article, Doosan Enerbility’s earnings trend is improving, with expectations that profit growth will pick up in earnest starting in 2027 ^[4]. But that’s a view reported from the securities industry, not a confirmed plan or figure from the company. I haven’t watched the market for 30 years for nothing: forecasts always come with conditions. So this article alone can’t tell us exactly when or how much profit will be recorded. Still, it’s worth keeping in mind the broader direction of improving earnings.

Czech nuclear project: the contract story isn’t over yet ☕

In June last year, Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power signed the main contract with Czech project owner EDU II to build two new nuclear power units ^[5]. But the follow-up contract with the construction team of Daewoo Engineering & Construction and Doosan Enerbility had still not been signed as of October this year. Industry watchers see differences in position between KHNP and the construction team, and the article’s headline says the contract was announced without an agreement on construction costs. That’s the crux of it! The question here is when the construction-cost discussions will be settled. Even a soccer team can’t score quickly if the players aren’t on the same page.

Where could the bullish scenario turn?

Onion thinks the bullish scenario truly begins when orders start showing up in earnings and the share price. The stock tends to react fastest to macro tailwinds, but this time the picture only comes together if the nuclear sector’s momentum and progress on the construction-team contract align. The risks on the other side are clear, too. If an agreement on construction costs is delayed, the construction-team contract schedule could slip as well, and the 2027 earnings trend is still a securities-industry outlook, not a confirmed figure. Now, that’s why we can’t just smile at the good news.

To sum up, there are two questions for the next round: Will an agreement on construction costs be reached first, or will the earnings outlook show up in the numbers first? Let’s keep watching to see which one moves first. What did I tell you~ The nuclear business has always been a race against time.
