LS ELECTRIC
LS Electric makes power equipment and industrial automation gear. It supplies switchgear, power distribution systems, extra-high-voltage transformers and smart-grid solutions. Orders from the North American data center power market have grown fast lately. In April 2026, through its U.S. arm, it signed a 216 million dollar contract to supply switchgear and distribution transformers for a fuel-cell power project ordered by Bloom Energy. Its extra-high-voltage transformer backlog stands at roughly 3 trillion won, locking in years of revenue. At home its main customers include Korea Electric Power, Samsung SDI and LG Energy Solution, and it buys copper, electrical steel and transformer components from suppliers and affiliates.

LS Electric's thesis is a Korean power-equipment beneficiary riding the AI-datacenter power boom. On top of its core power gear — switchgear, EHV transformers and smart grid — orders for EHV transformers from North American datacenters and investor-owned utilities have grown fast, pushing the EHV transformer backlog to around KRW 3tn and pre-committing years of revenue; a US transformer shortage opened a structural opening for Korean makers. A representative case is the April 2026 $216M contract (6.42% of consolidated revenue) for Bloom Energy datacenter fuel-cell power gear. Domestically, KEPCO, Samsung SDI and LG Energy Solution are key customers, while electrolytic copper comes from affiliate LS MnM (89.3% of purchases) and transformer components from Reinhausen and Hitachi Energy. The cooling gains after a +234% spike in 2024 look like valuation normalization. Re-rating triggers are EHV backlog conversion, new North American datacenter/utility wins, and copper prices.
