Q2 revenue came in around US$1.6b, with adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization firmly in the black and free cash flow...

Duke Energy (DUK) Stock Shrugs Off Profit Growth As Funding Questions Persist

Duke Energy stock barely flinched after earnings, ticking down 0.01% to US$124.27, yet the quarter itself was anything but flat. The company posted Q2 2026 basic earnings per share of US$1.38 on US$7,592m in revenue, with adjusted earnings per share of US$1.43. For a regulated utility that investors often treat as a bond substitute, that level of earnings power is the central focus.

Powell Industries (POWL) Stock Price Cools As Backlog Swells Past US$2.4b
