On October 23, Duke rose 3.13% in Regular Trading, trading at $124.43/share, with turnover of $226 million.
The clearest news catalyst was another analyst target-price reduction: BMO Capital lowered its target to $128 from $132. Even after the cut, the revised target remained above the current trading level, while the stock’s consensus rating stayed at overweight and the mean target price stood near $132.17.
The latest move followed a broader October pattern of estimate resets across Wall Street. BTIG cut its target to $135 from $141, Goldman Sachs to $143 from $147, JPMorgan to $130 from $137, Jefferies to $121 from $129, and Barclays to $124 from $132. Separately, Duke recently reached a North Carolina settlement requiring data centers and other large-load customers to pay upfront grid-connection costs, a structure designed to reduce the burden of incremental grid investment on existing customers.
