Jefferies expects Duke Energy to raise the bottom end of its 2026 EPS guidance to $6.70. The firm does not expect Duke Energy to increase its 5%–7% annual compound EPS growth guidance at the November 5, 2026 results release. This is an analyst expectation rather than a new company disclosure, and the report provides no revised revenue, margin, or capital-expenditure outlook.
