Doosan Enerbility is forecast to achieve moderate growth in Q2, driven by surging power demand from AI data center expansion and the revival of the global nuclear power market. The company's operating profit is projected to reach 278.3 billion KRW, representing a 2.26% year-over-year increase, while revenue is expected to grow 2.1% to 4.665 trillion KRW, according to a consensus compiled by Yonhap Infomax from six major domestic securities firms' forecasts submitted within the past two months. This growth stems from the company's strategic shift from coal and conventional plant-focused operations to a diversified portfolio centered on nuclear power and turbines.

Q2 new orders are forecast at approximately 2.3 trillion KRW. This includes four North America-bound steam turbines and overseas EPC project orders, though the total is expected to decrease from Q1 due to the absence of large-scale equipment orders.
Nuclear and Gas Turbine Businesses Drive Revenue Growth
Revenue recognition from the Czech Dukovany nuclear plant main equipment, turbine, and generator orders is gradually beginning, with the nuclear business expected to lead external growth. Gas turbine orders have also increased actively due to exploding power demand from AI data center expansion.
Doosan Enerbility secured 10 gas turbine orders in Q1, including seven units for North American data centers. This represents rapid growth compared to three units in 2024 and eight units in 2025. The gas turbine installation target for 2034 has been raised from 78 units to 110 units, with additional orders anticipated within the year.
