Recent news
most recent scored articles · the chip is the article’s score · click to openWall Street Zen raised its rating on Duke Energy from "sell" to "hold" in a research note released on Saturday. The article provides no additional detail, price target, or underlying reasoning for the change.
Duke Energy raised its quarterly dividend 2% in July 2026, giving it a 3.8% yield, and the article compares it with Xcel Energy as a potential holding for retirees. The article body is truncated, so no further detail is available.
Duke Energy confirmed its 5-7% long-term growth target and raised its quarterly dividend to $1.085 from $1.065 (about 1.9%). It reported adjusted EPS of $1.43 for the second quarter, beating the $1.31 estimate, driven largely by 7.8 gigawatts of signed data-center service agreements with minimum-take provisions.
Duke Energy is spending $103 billion on infrastructure while paying out dividends that its own cash flow does not fully cover. Whether that combination can be sustained depends on factors the company does not control.
Duke Energy raised its quarterly dividend 1.9% to $1.085 per share, putting the annual payout at $4.34 and the yield near 3.6%. The raise comes while the company is executing a $103 billion five-year infrastructure build-out, and in 2025 its $12.35 billion in operating cash flow fell roughly $5 billion short of covering $14.02 billion in capital spending and $3.3 billion in dividends, with the gap plugged by outside financing.
