The read, from its own figures
What its numbers say
- DUK closes above its 50-day average ($119.28) while the 50-day is still under the 200-day ($124.41): a rebound inside a longer decline, not yet an uptrend.
- At $128.38, DUK is 4.5% below its 1-year high of $134.49, set on March 17, 2026, and 14.2% above its 1-year low of $112.40 (September 29, 2026).
- Over the past month DUK rose 12.8%, from $113.84 to $128.38.
- DUK trades at 19.3x its last twelve months of earnings and 17.9x the next twelve months' estimate, so analysts expect earnings 8.0% higher.
- Its P/E is 9.2% below the 21.3x median of the 3 other utilities—regulated electric companies we track (NEE, SO, AEP).
- DUK's 30-day volatility, 20.4% a year, works out to a typical daily move of about 1.3%.
- Yahoo Finance puts its beta at 0.31: over five years of monthly returns, DUK moved about 0.31% for each 1% move of the S&P 500.
What would change the read
- The rebound holds while it closes above the 50-day average, $119.28 (−7.1%); it becomes an uptrend when the 50-day climbs 4.3% to cross the 200-day at $124.41.
- A close above $134.49 (+4.8%) would be a new 1-year high; below $112.40 (−12.4%), a new 1-year low.
How it is computed
- Prices are Yahoo Finance's daily candles for DUK, the same ones the chart below draws; the P/E, forward P/E and beta are Yahoo Finance quote fields.
- The averages are simple means of the last 50 and 200 closes; the 1-year high and low are the highest high and lowest low of the last 252 sessions; the 30-day volatility is the standard deviation of the past month's daily returns, annualized with the square root of 252.
- Peers are the other companies Yahoo Finance files under utilities—regulated electric among the assets we track, not a full industry screen; the median counts those with a positive P/E.
- Every sentence here is written by code from those figures, refreshed daily; nobody edits it for DUK by hand. It describes what the price and the multiples have done, not what they will do, and it is not advice.
