Description: DUK Duke Energy September 25, 2025

Duke Energy Corporation (NYSE:DUK) is a regulated utility that serves roughly 8.6 million electric customers and 1.7 million natural-gas customers across the Southeast and Midwest United States. The company operates through two primary segments: Electric Utilities & Infrastructure (EU&I) and Gas Utilities & Infrastructure (GU&I).

The EU&I segment owns and operates a diversified generation fleet-including coal, natural-gas, nuclear, hydroelectric, and growing renewable assets-while also handling transmission, distribution, and wholesale electricity sales to municipalities and cooperatives. The GU&I segment focuses on delivering natural gas to residential, commercial, industrial, and power-generation customers, and it invests in pipeline expansion, renewable natural-gas projects, and underground storage.

Key operational metrics (as of FY 2023) show a regulated earnings-before-interest-tax-depreciation-amortization (EBITDA) of about $13 billion, a net debt-to-EBITDA ratio near 3.5×, and a dividend yield around 3.4 %. The company has pledged to retire approximately 2 GW of coal capacity by 2030 and to add roughly 5 GW of renewable generation by 2035, reflecting its decarbonization roadmap.

Sector-wide drivers that materially affect Duke Energy include state-level renewable-energy mandates, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC) rate-case outcomes, and the broader macro trend of rising electricity demand tied to electrification of transportation and heating. Additionally, natural-gas price volatility and pipeline capacity constraints remain critical risk factors for the GU&I segment.
