Over the past five years, Duke Energy’s financial performance shows a generally positive trend. Revenue increased steadily from USD 23,480 million in 2020 to USD 30,050 million in 2024, although growth was modest from 2022 to 2023 when revenue essentially plateaued before picking up again in 2024. Gross profit almost doubled over the period, rising from USD 4,155 million in 2020 to USD 7,593 million in 2024, indicating improved cost efficiency or a favorable product mix. Operating income also exhibited strong growth, climbing from USD 4,553 million to USD 7,926 million, suggesting that operational management remained robust even as the company navigated industry-wide pressures such as regulatory changes and evolving market conditions in the utility sector. However, net income trends warrant closer scrutiny. While there was a dramatic increase from USD 1,377 million in 2020 to USD 3,908 million in 2021 (an approximate 183% surge), 2022 saw a significant 35% decline to USD 2,550 million. This drop could point to temporary operational setbacks, higher non-operating expenses, or tax adjustments affecting profitability. Subsequent years saw a gradual recovery, with net income growing to USD 2,841 million in 2023 and then a robust increase to USD 4,524 million in 2024. Overall, Duke Energy appears financially healthy and sustainable, with solid revenue and operating income performance supporting its long-term positioning in the heavily regulated and steadily growing utility industry.
