Description: DUK Duke Energy December 02, 2025
Duke Energy Corp. (NYSE:DUK) operates two regulated segments in the U.S. – Electric Utilities & Infrastructure (EU&I) serving ~8.6 million electric customers across the Southeast and Midwest, and Gas Utilities & Infrastructure (GU&I) delivering natural gas to ~1.7 million customers. The EU&I business generates power from a diversified mix (coal, natural gas, nuclear, hydro, oil, and renewables) and sells both retail and wholesale electricity, while the GU&I side manages distribution, transmission projects, renewable natural-gas (RNG) initiatives, and storage assets.
Key quantitative points (FY 2023): adjusted EBITDA of roughly $9.5 billion, a regulated return on equity (ROE) of ~9.5 % and a dividend yield near 4.0 %-both above the utility sector average. Capital expenditures were ~ $12 billion, with ~30 % earmarked for renewable and grid-modernization projects, reflecting the industry-wide shift toward decarbonization and resilience. A material driver of future earnings is the expected growth in renewable capacity (targeting ~30 % of generation by 2030) and the ongoing regulatory push for higher carbon-pricing and gas-pipeline approvals.
