DUK Return Day-1 residual (stock − beta × S&P 500) +0.4% LOW
DUK Return 5-day cumulative residual +0.1% (STABILIZE) A modest EPS beat with reaffirmed (not raised) 2026 guidance and an unresolved NC ROE/settlement overhang gives limited fuel for follow-through; Duke's low-beta, rider-heavy regulated model and already-priced-in data-center pipeline narrative mean the initial small positive residual is likely to decay toward flat over the week rather than extend, as analysts largely roll estimates within the existing guide band rather than revise out-year numbers materially.
