DUKE needs knocked down a few rungs !! They just got another rate hike here in NC and they are killing their customer base on high $$$ bills.
Just like the crooked US banking system, creating legalized fraud laws they operate under then getting consumers to pay for the bank's wrongful deeds; Duke also is doing same with coal ash cleanup costs which is THEIR fault- NOT the damn consumers. DUKE needs to use its own monies to clean this crap up like any other US small business would be made to do !!!
ENOUGH of this BS Duke as citizens in NC have had it and your crooked monopoly created today...

Cold snap increases usage and bills.
Your energy usage
may be higher on your next bill.
When temperatures plummeted in January, it’s likely that you used more energy than usual to heat your home.
Merrill Lynch analysis leaves out the upside. So they base it on the financials being on a teeter totter and throw only mention of a possible downside. What about the upside. The analysis needs repair. They missed the upside possibilities.
Do you really think DUKE would be granting and awarding so many community projects if they were broke or for that place, putting their shareholders in jeopardy? The answer is obvious. The answer is no.
This cryptocurrency trend is using an astronomical amount of electricity to mine/make these trending cryptocurrencies in their different forms.
4.49% yield presently on this dip to $79.29
Whoopie! DUK just keeps getting bigger and better regardless.
They are probably one of the best stocks anyone can own presently. They are also ahead and prepared for the future. FACT!
OPINION.
Irma makes a dent on $DUK's 3Q earnings. http://alph.st/be2854c0
DUKE is one of three companies bidding on all or part of the state owned Santee Cooper. South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster solicited the bids as a possible way for the state to recoup the stagnant investment in the cancelled V.C. Summer Nuclear Units 2+3.
Whatever Gov McMaster proposes must be voted upon by the SC General Assembly. Other companies interested are Dominion and Southern Co.
My opinion the share price should easily be in the $90's if not a $100, just based on the yield alone in comparison to many other stocks. DUK could be considered a bargain. Besides the strong growth and repeated earnings prove DUK as a strong stock.
But that is my sole opinion only.
Duke Energy increases quarterly dividend payment by 4.1 percent
Dividends per share have increased by more than 30 percent since 2007PR NewswireCHARLOTTE, N.C., July 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Duke Energy today declared a quarterly cash dividend on its common stock of $0.890 per share, an increase of $0.035 per share, or 4.1 percent.
The dividend is payable on Sept. 18, 2017, to shareholders of record at the close of business Aug. 18, 2017.
DUKE is gold in my opinion.
I just got a notice from piedmont that it was bought out Buy #DukeEnergy and I am entitled to $60 per share! What a nice surprise, congrats guys this ticker is Gold!
Listening and learning from experience creates a wise person.
Thanks for your experienced insight.
The thing about nuclear power plants is that they cannot be ignored, there will always be money there. I own a project planning company and I contract solely to US DOE for the development of work packages to clean up decommissioned nuke sites, particularly waste sites. As far as overspending, that's every nuke project I have worked on. The amount of red tape is mind boggling and it's near impossible to anticipate every road block. I am confident that Duke will be able to explain any spending to the commissions satisfaction. Happens all of the time on every nuke site ever built. In fact, it's exceptionally rare to complete a project under or even on budget in this environment. IMO.
You would think that theses municipalities would work with DUKE when there was a problem. Those same municipalities have no problem when DUKE makes a donation to one of many programs within their communities. Not how it works though. Coal ash has been a nightmare for DUKE in clean up costs and legal costs. Even the decommissioning of nuclear power plants has a high costs. I would tend to think DUKE would want to phase out of nuclear and coal fired plants.
DUK is still under valued. Dividend yield 4.10% @ $83.35. Big Growth also.
OPINION
DUK will continue to grow all while it fights legal issues that just seem to be part of their ongoing monthly bills. I like DUK for going long. It is not over bought presently which surprises me as much of the market is over bought.
When people start to turn off their lights. Then start to worry about your investment. Face it America loves their electricity.
OPINION
Insider Theodore Carver bought $293k worth of open market shares a couple days ago. Maybe explains the above average volume today? I took a long position myself due to that trade. Something must be a brewing, imo.
T-ho.
Citi group should keep up with growth. DUKE is continuing to grow.
DUKE is present and definitely future.
The fundamentals for growth are very strong. I do NOT see the fundamentals weak.
Citigroup downgraded Duke Energy from Neutral to Sell. Fundamentals support the rating change.

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Oct. 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Duke Energy today declared a quarterly cash dividend on its common stock of $0.855 per share payable on Dec. 16, 2016, to shareholders of record at the close of business Nov. 18, 2016.
Duke Energy has paid a cash dividend for 90 consecutive years.
In my opinion DUK offers a bargain to shareholders presently. We may see some more turbulence when the financials hit the big screen, but then maybe that has already been factored in? It has been basing very well above the $78 level for more than 3 days.
With the excellent yield that is offered I am surprised it is not at a new 52 week high or better.
Once Hurricane Matthew damages are evaluated and posted. We may be seeing the mid $80's if not better. BUT! We might see another collapse because of it and have to rebuild share price. Time will tell.

Duke Energy Gets Contract For U.S. First Offshore Wind Farm
http://marketexclusive.com/duke-energy-first-offshore-wind-farm/35132/?icd1
DUK is loaded for growth. Do not lay your cards down just yet. Electricity is the game. DUK also going totally domestic should spring some real attention going forward. A lot of cash for acquisition coming from the South American sales. I for one do not expect to see DUK idle. The better than 4% dividend yield should hoard investors into the main stream.
This is one positive growth company going forward.
Duke Energy misses by $0.01, misses on revs; reaffirms FY16 EPS in-line (DUK) :
•Reports Q1 (Mar) earnings of $1.13 per share, excluding non-recurring items, $0.01 worse than the Capital IQ Consensus of $1.14; revenues fell 7.3% year/year to $5.62 bln vs the $6.02 bln Capital IQ Consensus•Adjusted diluted EPS for the first quarter of 2016 were lower than the prior year, primarily due to milder winter weather, the absence of prior-year Midwest Generation results, and higher winter storm costs. International's results were supported by a favorable tax adjustment and stronger results in Brazil.
•Co reaffirms guidance for FY16, sees EPS of $4.50-4.70, excluding non-recurring items, vs. $4.61 Capital IQ Consensus Estimate.
A thing of beauty. Load zone over next 1-3 months.
I share your confidence.
Duke is a long term hold for me..
Never really entertained the idea of flipping it.
The recent moves are in line with the company's possible plans to grow throughout the U.S. and not just stay in the Carolina, southeast area.
By establishing itself in the gas industry, Duke is scaling itself for the long-term next step in its growth, which may be to take the company nationwide.
This move would not be any time in the near future, as Duke must first establish itself in the gas industry.
Duke is the largest electric utility in the nation with 7.3 million electric customers in Indiana, Florida, Kentucky, Ohio, and the Carolinas.
It's interesting to note that both of these companies are key partners in the build-out of the $5 billion Atlantic Coast Pipeline.
Dominion Resources and AGL Resources are involved in the project as well.
The pipeline would carry natural gas from fracking operation in the Marcellus Shale in West Virginia. Duke would use it to help power customers' home and businesses.
Don't doubt it at all.
ppS........89 - 99. in 2 years
I like it here as it begins to move forward.
DUK pays a nice dividend...
Good deal in my opinion. Should position very well for future.
Duke Energy To Expand Gas Business With $4.9 Billion Purchase
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/duke-energy-expand-gas-business-194757809.html
The sale has already been approved by the management of both companies and is expected to close by the end of 2016. Still needed is the approval of Piedmont’s shareholders and the North Carolina Utilities Commission. Duke and Piedmont must also give details of the deal to the Public Service Commission of South Carolina and the Tennessee Regulatory Authority.
It’s not clear whether all the regulators will perceive the transaction as beneficial to customers as Duke and Piedmont do. Christopher Ayers, the executive director of the North Carolina Utilities Commission’s Public Staff, told the Charlotte Observer: “Our standard is that the benefits to consumers have to outweigh the costs and risks. Once the filings are made, we will do a deep dive on all their numbers to make sure consumers are not harmed in this process.”
If the deal goes through, Piedmont would keep a measure of autonomy. Duke will also appoint a member of Piedmont’s board to its own board, and a Piedmont manager will run Duke’s gas operations in the Carolinas, Kentucky, Ohio and Tennessee.
Duke Energy's (NYSE:DUK) $4.9B deal to buy Piedmont Natural Gas (NYSE:PNY) includes a $250M breakup fee DUK would pay PNY if it fails to obtain approval from regulators including the North Carolina Utilities Commission - a hefty 5.1% of the deal total, and double the fee PNY would have to pay if its board gets cold feet or finds a better deal.
Should began to get better in the market soon.
Duke Energy (DUK +0.2%) says it has reached a deal with North Carolina's Department of Environmental Quality to pay $7M to resolve claims related to groundwater problems at its coal ash facilities in the state.
North Carolina says the agreement also will trigger accelerated remediation estimated to cost an additional $10M-$15M for the company.
DUK had been facing fines of $25M for groundwater issues at its plant in Wilmington, N.C.
Duke Energy (DUK -0.2%) and the Obama administration announce a settlement to resolve long-standing claims that Duke violated the Clean Air Act by unlawfully modifying 13 coal-fired electricity generating units in North Carolina.
Duke Energy is the largest electric power holding company in the United States with approximately $115 billion in total assets. Its regulated utility operations serve approximately 7.2 million electric customers located in six states in the Southeast and Midwest. Its commercial power and international energy business segments own and operate diverse power generation assets in North America and Latin America, including a growing portfolio of renewable energy assets in the United States.

Duke Energy implodes historic coal units at retired Cape Fear power plant in Moncure, N.C.
MONCURE, N.C., June 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- With one final blast, Duke Energy's retired, coal-fired Cape Fear power plant in Moncure passed into history today, marking both the end of major demolition at the site and the end of an era.
Duke Energy's contractor this morning imploded the plant's two coal units, which began operating in 1956 and 1958, respectively.
"It's been an honor to spend most of my 40-year career at the Cape Fear Plant and watch as the region has grown up around us. We've been an important part of that growth," said Danny Wimberly, Duke Energy's manager of demolition and retirement at the site.
"While it's a bittersweet day for many employees who enjoyed their years working at the site, it also demonstrates our continued progress in modernizing the way we produce energy," Wimberly said. "We're building on a legacy that began with power plants like Cape Fear, and continues today with new power plants that generate electricity more efficiently and cleanly than ever before. That's something all of us are proud of."
The plant began operating in 1923, producing affordable power and advancing industrial and residential growth in eastern North Carolina.
Two of the site's six coal-fired units were retired in 1977 and two in 2011.
The remaining two coal-fired units, along with one of four oil-fired combustion turbine units on site, were retired in October 2012 as part of the company's transition to cleaner, more efficient generation sources.
The smokestacks and emission-control equipment were imploded in 2014. The remaining infrastructure at the site will be mechanically removed in the coming months.
The company is now focused on restoring the land, and continuing scientific and engineering studies to inform ash basin closure plans for the site's five ash basins.
