DUKDuke Energy Corp
Duke Energy reported third-quarter 2026 earnings per share (EPS) of $1.99 on a reported and adjusted basis, up from $1.81 in the prior year period. The increase was driven by favorable weather, volume growth, and rate case impacts, partially offset by higher interest expense and depreciation. Management narrowed its full-year 2026 adjusted EPS guidance range to $6.70–$6.80, citing strong year-to-date performance that positions the company near the top end of the revised outlook. The utility also reaffirmed its long-term adjusted EPS growth rate target of 5% to 7% through 2030. Duke Energy is a major energy holding company providing electric and natural gas utilities to millions of customers across several U.S. states.
