Duke Energy: An Insight Into Its Dynamic Load Growth Capture
- Duke Energy’s third-quarter 2025 results showcased a strong financial performance, with an adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.81, up from $1.62 in the same period last year.
- This growth can primarily be attributed to the ongoing expansion in the company’s electric utilities sector.
- Duke Energy has also revised its full-year earnings guidance to a narrower range of $6.25 to $6.35 per share, indicating confidence in its financial outlook for the remainder of the year.

- Float jumps to 25.8% after BlackRock’s €1.7B placement, structurally securing Naturgy’s MSCI and Ibex index eligibility ahead of February 2026 rebalancing.
- 3-Month ADTV hits €37.2M, up >150% YoY, positioning Naturgy for higher index weights and improved liquidity metrics in both MSCI Europe and EMU benchmarks.
- Dividend yield of 7.3%–7.8% at €24.75 offers downside support, while €150–250M in expected passive flows provide near-term catalysts into Q1 2026.
