Duke Energy Raises Low End of 2026 Earnings Forecast
Duke Energy raised the lower end of its 2026 adjusted earnings forecast after third-quarter profit and revenue increased, as demand for electricity and natural gas from residential and commercial customers grew in the Southeast and Midwest.
Duke now expects 2026 adjusted earnings of $6.70 to $6.80 a share, lifting the bottom of its previous range of $6.55 to $6.80. The company maintained its long-term adjusted earnings growth projection of 5% to 7% a year through 2030, based on a 2025 baseline of $6.30 a share. Duke said it is confident it can reach the upper half of that growth range starting in 2028. The company operates electricity and natural gas utilities in several states.
