Duke Energy Corporation's share price was $126.51 at the close on 3 November 2026. It has been rising for 3 weeks. That is 1.7% above its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $113 and $133, and at that close it sat 66% of the way up from that low. Over the past 13 weeks it has done better than the S&P 500, and it has stayed ahead for 2 weeks in a row. Over the last 10 years the share price moved +47% while the S&P 500 moved +255%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does Duke Energy pay? Duke Energy Corporation paid $4.26 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $1.06 for Jun 2026. At today's price of $126.51 that is a yield of 3.37%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast. ## Which stock lists is Duke Energy on?

## Is Duke Energy profitable? Duke Energy Corporation earned $1.1 B of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, +13.7% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 2nd quarter in a row of profit growth. Full-year FY25 profit was $5.1 B. Over 4 years profit has grown 9.1% a year on average. That is 15.1% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $1.0 B. For the full year, FY25 profit was $5.1 B (+9.9% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +1.1% on a year earlier and the margin moved +3.3 percentage points. Most of the change came from keeping more of each sale. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +8.7% and revenue +6.3%. Profit and revenue are moving at about the same pace. ## How much revenue does Duke Energy make, and is it growing? Duke Energy Corporation reported $7.6 B of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +1.1% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 10th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown 7.1% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $31.8 B. The last four reported quarters add to $32.8 B. FY25 revenue was $31.8 B, +6.2% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +6.3% on average, against 7.1% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing at about the same pace as its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +6.3%, against +5.3% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising); profit over the last 12 months grew +8.7%, against +10.7% a year (stabilising). ## How much of every $100 of sales does Duke Energy keep? Duke Energy Corporation's operating margin was 27.5% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 3.3 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Its latest full-year margin is the highest it has ever reported. Across 5 years it has been between 23.3% and 27.0%. The latest quarter is above every full year in that period. Across 5 years it has been between 23.3% and 27.0%, and FY25's 27.0% is the highest of them. Why: the operating margin move is clear, but the cost details behind it are not in our data, so we show the move without guessing the reason. As noted under valuation: when margins are at a record, every ratio built on profit looks better than usual, so a low multiple can mislead. ## Is Duke Energy's profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 275% of Duke Energy Corporation's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY25 it brought in $12.3 B of operating cash against $5.1 B of profit. After $14.0 B of spending on assets, free cash was −$1.7 B: it spent more than its operations brought in. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason. What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building. ## Where does Duke Energy's cash go? Duke Energy Corporation does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $38.9 B on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 40.8% of FY25 revenue a year. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn. Spending on assets: $38.9 B over the last 3 years. In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns. ## What is Duke Energy's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Duke Energy Corporation's P/E is 19.0×, near the low end of its own history: it has been lower only 27% of the time. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 19.9×, over 4.3 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Keep one thing in mind: margins are the best this company has ever reported. A multiple that looks low against its own past can mislead when profit is at a record. If margins fall back, today's multiple is higher than it looks. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved +10.5% while the price moved +1.8%. Earnings did better than the price, which pulled the multiple down within its own range. Where the price move came from: over 3 years the price moved +11.9% a year; about +17.7% a year came from earnings growth and about −5.8 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying less). The split is approximate (price return minus earnings growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple. In short: the multiple is low against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Duke Energy business getting better or worse? Duke Energy Corporation's business is giving mixed signals. Growth has been steadily positive, but ROCE at 5.0% is below the 15% level needed to call it steady growth. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: when the lines disagree, each line above matters more than any single label. ## How much does Duke Energy earn on its capital? Duke Energy Corporation earned a ROE of 10% in FY25. That is up from a low of 5% in FY22. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 1.1 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses. It comes from a 16.0% net margin and 0.16× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a 16.0% net margin × 0.16× asset turnover × 3.69× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 9.4% on equity. The margin does most of the work; borrowing is a big part of it. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 3.8% − 4.9% = −1.1 percentage points. The 4.9% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Negative: growth at these returns loses value until returns improve. ## Does Duke Energy have too much debt? Duke Energy Corporation has total debt of $92.2 B against shareholder equity of $56.9 B as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 1.62× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 1.33 in FY21 to 1.72 in FY25. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. ## What is the Duke Energy shareholding pattern? 2.3% of Duke Energy Corporation's tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so some traders are betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 4.3 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is Duke Energy from balance-sheet trouble? For Duke Energy Corporation, the Z-score is not available, so we say so rather than guess one. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. The debt, cash-flow and return sections show the balance-sheet figures we do have, each with its own date. ## How does Duke Energy rank in its industry? 46.2 out of 100, rank 19 of 29 in Utilities - Regulated Electric, with 75% of the evidence available. Duke Energy Corporation scores 46.2 out of 100 against the 29 companies it is compared with in Utilities - Regulated Electric, ranking 19. The evidence is balanced: no factor stands out, so another reported quarter is needed before the picture is clearer. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 15.3 + 10.1 + 8.8 + 12 = 46.2. This is the same number shown on the industry page; it is worked out once for the whole group and read here. What would change it: The score would fall if profit growth turns negative or margins stop improving while the share price lags its sector. ## Which companies is Duke Energy compared with? Duke Energy ranks 19 of 29 Utilities - Regulated Electric companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 46.2 out of 100. 1.

Missing figures are not scored as bad. They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step path the industry is placed on (basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep), read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read. The figures in this ranking come from the industry comparison: results through the Sep 2026 quarter, and the P/E at that quarter's end. The sections above use the latest weekly price, so a P/E or return there can differ a little from the one here. The stage words in this ranking (such as losing its lead or breaking out) describe the lead over the index, not the price phase in the price section.
