The longer record shows steady growth. Annual EPS rose from $5.33 in 2022 to $5.56 in 2023, $5.90 in 2024 and $6.32 in 2025, a gain of about 18.6% over three years. The first half of 2026 added up to $3.36 per share, about 11.6% above the first half of 2025. Q1 2026 had the highest revenue in the table, $9.2 billion, and EPS of $1.93, close to the $1.94 high from Q3 2023. Over the last 20 quarters, Duke beat EPS estimates 13 times. It has beaten in each of the last seven quarters, and the last miss was Q3 2024, at 4.88% below.

Duke reported its third quarter between November 2 and November 7 in each of the past five years. That points to early November 2026 for the next report. It will show whether the year-over-year gains of the first half continue into the third quarter.
