Duke Energy Corp: what insiders have been doing
Duke Energy Corp, founded in 1904, is a Energy company based in Charlotte, United States. Its directors and officers file their transactions with SEC (Form 4). The last twelve months, up to 18 October 2026, brought 47 filings signed by 12 insiders.
There is no open-market purchase to report; the filings show 7 sales worth €4.3M by 4 insiders. Biggest ticket of the year: €1.9M, sold by Ghartey-Tagoe Kodwo and made public on 3 March 2026.
Filings reach the SEC (Form 4) feed a median of 2 days after the trade. Section 16 rules allow two business days to file each Form 4. A sale on its own says little: insiders also sell to pay tax, fund a purchase or diversify.
Across the 5,811 companies tracked on its exchange, the median is 19 filings; at 47 filings, this issuer sits above that mark. Looking back to 2016, when coverage begins, insiders filed no purchases and 58 sales. For the fiscal year to 31 December 2025, the annual 10-K puts revenue at 31.74 bn USD and net income at 4.97 bn USD, and the dividend at 4.22 USD per share.

About Duke Energy Corp
Duke Energy Corp (ticker DUK-PA) is a major U.S. regulated utility listed on the NYSE, in the United States. For French-speaking investors, it is best viewed as a large-cap defensive energy name with a relatively predictable earnings profile, but also with significant capital intensity and an earnings base shaped by state regulatory frameworks. Duke Energy is headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, and is one of the largest energy holding companies in the U.S.([investors.duke-energy.com](https://investors.duke-energy.com/news/news-details/2026/Duke-Energy-reports-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2025-financial-results?utm_source=openai))
The company’s roots date back to the early 1900s, when the Catawba Power Company and the Catawba Hydro Station were launched in 1904. Duke Energy then grew through successive waves of consolidation, including the 2006 combination with Cinergy, the 2012 merger with Progress Energy, and the 2016 acquisition of Piedmont Natural Gas. This history explains the group’s current footprint: a broad regulated electric and gas platform built around essential infrastructure rather than merchant power exposure.([duke-energy.com](https://www.duke-energy.com/our-company/about-us/our-history?utm_source=openai))

Duke Energy’s business model is centered on regulated utilities. In recent company disclosures, it said its electric utilities serve about 8.7 million customers and collectively own approximately 55,700 MW of energy capacity. Its service territories include North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky, while its gas operations reach customers in the Carolinas, Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee. That footprint gives the company a strong regional position in dense, growing service areas across the Southeast and Midwest.([investors.duke-energy.com](https://investors.duke-energy.com/news/news-details/2026/Duke-Energy-reports-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2025-financial-results?utm_source=openai))
From a competitive standpoint, Duke Energy benefits from scale, regulated returns, and a diversified generation mix. A key strategic asset is its nuclear fleet: in February 2026, the company reported a 2025 systemwide nuclear capacity factor of 96.9%, a new record, and said the fleet generated about $600 million in customer savings through federal nuclear production tax credits. Duke also highlighted ongoing life-extension work, uprates, and advanced reactor development as part of its long-term nuclear strategy.([news.duke-energy.com](https://news.duke-energy.com/releases/duke-energy-nuclear-fleet-sets-new-all-time-reliability-record-delivers-value-for-customers?utm_source=openai))
The company’s core offerings include regulated electricity distribution and transmission, natural gas distribution, generation from nuclear, natural gas, solar, and storage assets, and a growing set of grid modernization initiatives. Recent announcements show that Duke is actively reshaping its portfolio: it brought a 50-MW battery system online at a former coal site, advanced natural gas generation in South Carolina, and began work on the Cayuga Energy Complex in Indiana to add 470 MW of combined-cycle gas capacity. These projects reflect the company’s response to rising load growth, especially from industrial demand and data centers.([news.duke-energy.com](https://news.duke-energy.com/releases/duke-energy-brings-new-grid-battery-on-line-at-former-allen-coal-plant?utm_source=openai))
Recent corporate news also underscores strategic execution and financial discipline. Duke Energy announced a series of capital and financing moves in 2026, including convertible note issuance, while also stating that it had finalized initiatives designed to deliver more than $5 billion in customer cost savings. In addition, the company continues to emphasize reliability, affordability, and grid resilience as it expands generation and transmission infrastructure across its territories. For investors, Duke remains a classic regulated-utility profile: steady, policy-sensitive, and closely linked to long-duration capital investment cycles.([news.duke-energy.com](https://news.duke-energy.com/releases?c=23971&page=2&utm_source=openai))
