Duke Energy has raised its dividend annually for over 20 years, offering investors a reliable income stream despite slower stock price growth compared to the S&P 500. Over the past decade, a $1,000 investment in Duke returned 127%, largely driven by dividend reinvestment, while the S&P 500 returned 258%. The company’s regulated utility model limits price volatility but provides steady dividend growth, currently yielding 3.57%. Looking ahead, Duke plans a $103 billion capital investment over five years and expects earnings growth between 5% and 7% starting in 2028, making it a bond-like equity with growth potential. Investors should consider interest rate risks and inflation when evaluating Duke’s slower but consistent returns.
