Management’s own words, often on a non-GAAP, constant-currency, or adjusted basis — so these can differ from the GAAP figures above (e.g. constant-currency revenue growth excludes currency swings).
Duke posted Q1 adjusted EPS of $1.93 versus $1.76 in the prior year as 7.6 GW of data center ESAs were signed including 2.7 GW in Q1 alone. The Carolina utilities combination was approved with $2.3 billion in projected savings while a multiyear $3.1 billion clean energy tax credit monetization was secured. Five GW of gas generation was under construction with an additional 2.5 GW in development, and FY2026 guidance and the 5-7% long-term growth rate were reaffirmed.
