Rhea AI DUK FY2025 2026-10-03

Duke’s asset-heavy utility model combines improving operating margins with rising leverage and investment spending that absorbs cash.

From FY2024 to FY2025, operating profit margin widened from 26.4% to 27.2%, yet free cash flow moved from $48M to -$1.7B. Capital expenditures of $14.0B exceeded operating cash flow of $12.3B, showing that margin improvement is occurring alongside a larger reinvestment burden rather than creating surplus cash.

Leverage has increased: debt-to-equity rose from 1.2x in FY2021 to 1.5x in FY2025, indicating that expansion has been financed with progressively more debt relative to shareholders’ capital. The FY2025 current ratio of 0.6x adds a separate short-term constraint, with current assets below current liabilities.

Revenue rose from $28.7B in FY2022 to $31.7B in FY2025, indicating a larger earnings base. Over the same period, operating profit margin widened from 21.0% to 27.2%, so growth was accompanied by better operating conversion rather than volume alone.

Health score ≠ stock price. This rates the quality of Duke Energy Corporation's business: profitability, growth, balance sheet strength. It doesn't tell you whether the stock is a good buy at today's price. Not financial advice. Use it alongside valuation analysis and your own research.

Profitability

Duke Energy Corporation has an operating margin of 27.2%, meaning the company retains $27 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This strong profitability earns a score of 80/100, reflecting efficient cost management and pricing power. This is up from 26.4% the prior year.

Growth

Duke Energy Corporation's revenue grew 5.6% year-over-year to $31.7B, a solid pace of expansion. This earns a growth score of 56/100.

Leverage

Duke Energy Corporation has a moderate D/E ratio of 1.55. This balance of debt and equity financing earns a leverage score of 35/100.

Liquidity

Duke Energy Corporation's current ratio of 0.55 is below the typical benchmark, resulting in a score of 16/100. This tight liquidity could limit financial flexibility if cash inflows slow.

Cash Flow

While Duke Energy Corporation generated $12.3B in operating cash flow, capex of $14.0B consumed most of it, leaving -$1.7B in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 66/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.

Returns

Duke Energy Corporation's ROE of 9.6% shows moderate profitability relative to equity, earning a score of 53/100. This is up from 9.0% the prior year.

Altman Z-Score Distress

0.66

Duke Energy Corporation scores 0.66, below the 1.81 distress threshold. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($89.0B) relative to total liabilities ($143.9B). This indicates elevated financial distress risk and warrants close attention to liquidity and debt levels.

Distress-screening estimate for non-financial companies. Not computed for banks or insurers, where the Altman model does not apply.

Piotroski F-Score Partial

6/8

Duke Energy Corporation passes 6 of 8 computable financial strength tests (1 of the nine could not be computed from available data). All 4 profitability signals pass (positive income, cash flow, and earnings quality), 1 of 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, both operating efficiency signals pass.

Earnings Quality Cash-Backed

2.48x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Duke Energy Corporation generates $2.48 in operating cash flow ($12.3B OCF vs $5.0B net income). This indicates profits are well-supported by actual cash generation, not accounting adjustments.

Interest Coverage Adequate

2.37x

Duke Energy Corporation earns $2.37 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($8.6B vs $3.6B). This adequate coverage means the company can meet its interest obligations, but has limited cushion if earnings fall.
