Duke Energy CORP · 2026-11-04 · Importance 64 · Surprise 50 · In source text

Duke narrowed its 2026 adjusted EPS guidance to $6.70–$6.80 and expects to finish near the top end. It reaffirmed long-term EPS growth of 5%–7% through 2030, with confidence in the top half of that range beginning in 2028. For 2027, management expects 3%–4% load growth, while a return to normal weather, higher depreciation and higher interest expense are expected to partially offset positive drivers.
