Duke Energy narrows 2026 EPS guidance to top-end range, anchors long-term growth on 15.4 GW large-load pipeline and $103B capital plan
Duke Energy delivered Q3 2026 adjusted EPS of $1.99 versus $1.81 a year ago, driven by electric utility rate cases, higher sales volumes, and weather, and narrowed full-year guidance to $6.70–$6.80 with confidence to finish at the top. The company's $103 billion capital plan — accelerating from $1.5 billion to $2 billion per month in 2027 — is underpinned by a 15.4 GW late-stage large-load pipeline that management expects to convert to ESAs by mid-2027, with $5–$10 billion of additional capital upside beyond the current plan. Nuclear extension, natural gas additions exceeding 10 GW in construction and development, and a constructive North Carolina rate settlement collectively anchor the multi-year earnings durability thesis.
