Growth against cash margin
The 14 largest by revenue. A bigger bubble is more revenue; the dashed lines are the median of these companies.
How to read this page
- A radar shows where a company ranks among its group on six ratios. A corner at the edge means it is above every other company on that ratio.
- A table row lists the facts as the filings give them: revenue, growth, margins, debt to equity, the accounting checks, insider buying and followed investors holding.
- A bubble to the right grew faster, and one higher up kept more of its sales as free cash flow.
- A bar is paragraphs that mention the topic this year, and the mark on it is last year.

Item 1A, Risk Factors, 10-K Feb 26, 2026Marked against last year's 10-K
Cybersecurity risks have increased in recent years as a result of the proliferation of newtechnologiestechnologies, and the increased sophistication, magnitude and frequency of cyberattacks and data security breaches. Duke Energy relies on the continued operation of advanced digital information and operational technology systems and network infrastructure, which are part of an interconnected regional grid. Additionally, connectivity to the internet continues to increase through grid modernization and other operational excellence initiatives. Furthermore, AI, including generative AI, may be used to facilitate or perpetrate these cybersecurity threats. Duke Energy’s use of generative AI (and use by their vendors and agents) may subject them to data privacy, legal, regulatory and security risks. Because of the critical nature of the infrastructure, increased connectivity to theinternetinternet, external networks, mandatory reliability and safety obligations, and technology systems’ inherent vulnerability to disability or failures due to hacking, viruses, acts of war or terrorism or other types of data security breaches, the Duke Energy Registrants face a heightened risk of cyberattacks fromforeignforeign, nation-state or domestic sources and have been subject, and will likely continue to be subject, to cyberattacks designed to gain unauthorized access to information and/or information systems or to disrupt utility operations through computer viruses and phishing attempts either directly or indirectly through its material vendors or related third parties. In addition, advances in emerging technologies such as quantum computing could, over time, be used to break standard encryption methods, compromise secure connections or otherwise conduct cyberattacks of increasing sophistication. In the event of a significant cybersecurity breach on either the Duke Energy Registrants or with one of our material vendors or related third parties, the Duke Energy Registrants could (i) have business operations disrupted, including the disruption of the operation of our natural gas and electric assets and the power grid, theft of confidential company, employee, retiree, shareholder, vendor or customer information, and general business systems and process interruption or compromise, including preventing the Duke Energy Registrants from servicing customers, collecting revenues or the recording, processing and/or reporting financial information correctly, (ii) experience substantial loss of revenues, repair and restoration costs, penalties and costs for lack of compliance with relevant regulations, implementation costs for additional security measures to avert future cyberattacks and other financial loss and (iii) be subject to increased regulation, litigation and reputational damage. While Duke Energy maintains insurance relating to cybersecurity events, such insurance does not protect Duke Energy from such cyberattacks occurring, and while it does provide some potential mitigation of the financial impacts resulting from such cyberattacks, it is subject to a number of exclusions and may be insufficient to offset any losses, costs or damage experienced.Also, the market for cybersecurity insurance is relatively new and coverage available for cybersecurity events is evolving as the industry matures.

We are using and exploring the further use of AI, including generative AI, and its ability to enhance the services we offer to the communities we serve. There are significant risks involved in developing and deploying AI, and ineffective or inadequate development or deployment of AI practices by us orour third-parties (vendors, suppliers, and contractors)supply chain stakeholders could result in unintended consequences. We contract withthird-partiessupply chain stakeholders that use AI in products and services theyprovideprovide, and we may not have full control or visibility over the quality, performance, security or compliance of the products and services that incorporate AI-related technology. Additionally, the use of AI may not enhance our services or be beneficial to our business, including with respect to the efficiency and resiliency of our systems. For example,ourAI-related efforts by us or supply chain stakeholders may give rise to risks related to harmful content, accuracy, bias, discrimination, intellectual property infringement or misappropriation, defamation, data privacy, and cybersecurity, amongothers.others, which could lead to operational interruptions or otherwise adversely affect our business, reputation or financial results. In addition, the adoption of AI may subject us to new or enhanced governmental or regulatory scrutiny, new or amended laws, rules, directives, and regulations governing the use ofAI,AI (which may be conflicting), litigation, ethical concerns, negative consumer perceptions as to automation and AI, or other complications that could adversely affect our business, reputation, or financial results. Developing, testing and deploying resource-intensive AI systems may also require additional investment and increase costs. We may not be able to recover our investments in AI technology through our regulatory proceedings, and our use of, orour third parties’supply chain stakeholders’ use of, AI may subject us to legal liability. Similarly, as AI continues to evolve, we may not be able to adopt and implement AI as quickly as our customers or communities desire or regulators may require, which could also adversely affect us. AI is a relatively new and rapidly evolving technology, and we are unable to predict all of the risks that may result from the adoption of our AI initiatives.

The electricity industry is expected to experience a surge in demand driven primarily by new manufacturing, industrial and data center facilities(inclusive of(including to support the expected increase in demand for AI and generative AI (“GenAI”)). The U.S. Energy Information Administration's 2023 Annual Energy Outlook, combined with external forecasts, shows the potential for 500 TWh of incremental load across the U.S. through 2030, as compared to 2023. ERCOT's current long term load forecast shows peak demand increasing from 86 GW in 2024 to137139 GW in2028.2030.
Conversely, any failure by the Company to effectively and timely develop and implement AI technologies, or to attract and retain AI talent, could impair the Company’s ability to compete, particularly if competitors incorporate AI more quickly or more successfully to lower costs, improve customer experience, and accelerate innovation.

We cannot anticipate, detect, repel, or implement fully effective preventative measures against all cyber threats, particularly because the techniques used are constantly evolving. Similarly, we cannot guarantee uninterrupted availability of third-party managed systems that may be affected by factors unrelated to cybersecurity incidents. Our implementation of generative AI to improve business and operational performance has led to the introduction of enhanced technologies that pose distinct governance and security risk management challenges. Continued implementation of advanced digitaltechnologiestechnologies, including generative AI and machine learning, increases the potentially unfavorable impacts of such attacks and reliability, and may introduce new vulnerabilities and threat tactics.

A Cyber Attack Could Adversely Affect The Companies. The Companies and other operators of critical energy infrastructure and energy market participants face a heightened risk of cyber attack and the Companies’ businesses require the continued operation of information systems and network infrastructure. See Item 1 for a description of the businesses of the Utilities and Con Edison Transmission. Cyber attacks may include hacking, viruses, malware, denial of service attacks, ransomware, exploited vulnerabilities or other security incidents, including loss of data and communications and business disruption. Cyber threats in general, and in particular, to critical infrastructure, are increasing in sophistication, magnitude and frequency and the techniques used in cyber attacks change rapidly, including from emerging technologies, such as artificialintelligence,intelligence (AI), and from nation-state and state-sponsored adversaries as well as criminal actors. Such adversaries have attacked and threatened to attack energy infrastructure and deploy significant resources and employ sophisticated methods to plan and carry out attacks. Risk of these attacks may escalate during periods of heightened geopolitical tensions. Interconnectivity with customers, independent system operators, energy traders and other energy market participants, suppliers, contractors and others also exposes the Companies’ information and operational systems and network infrastructure to an increased risk of cyber incidents, including attacks. Such interconnectivity increases the risk that a cyber incident or attack on the Companies could affect others and that a cyber incident or attack on others could affect the Companies. In the event of a significant cyber incident or attack, the Companies could have their operations and the operations of their customers and others materially disrupted. The Companies could also have their financial and other information systems and network infrastructure impaired or damaged; customer and employee information stolen; experience substantial loss of revenues; incur substantial response costs and other financial losses; be subject to increased regulation, litigation and penalties; and damage to their reputation. The Companies have experienced cyber incidents and attacks in the past (such as threat actors exploiting a vulnerability in the Companies’ information technology system, malicious attempts to disrupt traffic to their websites and attacks against third-party vendors used by the Companies) and expect to experience them in the future. Although none of these incidents has had a material impact on the Companies, the scope and impact of any future incident cannot be predicted. In the event of a significant cybersecurity incident or attack, the Companies’ business strategy, results of operations or financial condition could be materially affected.

This power is primarily procured through contracts as directed by the Utility Registrants’ respective state laws and regulatory commission actions from various approved bidders or from purchases on the PJM operated markets. Third-party power generation may be insufficient to meet our customers’ electricity demand in the short- and medium-term because of extremeweather, fuel security, market procurement, regulatory requirements, operational issues, maintenance outages, inflexibility of demand, or financial uncertainty impacting existing or prospective generation facilities.

Risks from cybersecurity and physical threats to energy infrastructures and personnel are increasing. Threat actors, including sophisticated nation-state actors and criminal groups, exploit potential vulnerabilities in the electric and natural gas utility industry, grid infrastructure, and other energy infrastructures. Attacks and disruptions, which could involve physical, cyber, and hybrid targeting of physical and cyber assets, are increasingly sophisticated and dynamic. Physical attacks targeting the Registrants' physical assets or personnel could cause injuries, damage, or operational disruptions. The increased implementation of, and reliance on, information technologies and networks to manage business operations, including the operation of technical systems, as well as the Registrants' use of numerous vendors and suppliers, create additional points of vulnerability that could be, and in certain instances have been, exploited by malicious threat actors. Several U.S. government agencies have warned that the energy sector and its supply chains are subject to increasing risks of physical attacks, ransomware attacks and cybersecurity threats, and that the risks may escalate during periods of heightened geopolitical tensions.

The traditional electric operating companies are experiencing projected demand that significantly exceeds recent experience, creating the need for new power generating resources and transmission facilities. The majority of this demand is driven by the power needs and projected power needs of data centers to serve an increasingly digital economy and to support artificial intelligence. Other demands are coming from new industrial facilities with advanced manufacturing processes for products suchproductsas electric vehicles and batteries.Ensuring that incremental revenues fromExtending service to theseprojected new demands cover incremental costs and risks will be criticalcustomers necessitates significant capital expenditures, which in turn requires sufficient access tocontinuing the traditional electric operating companies' value proposition to customers. The new naturesources ofthese industries,capital. These additional capital spending needs, the increased concentration of business within a single industry based on emerging technologies, and uncertainties on the actual capacity required to satisfy the projected new demands of these new industriesmay impactcreates risks for the traditional electric operating companies. Ensuring that incremental revenues from these projected new demands cover incremental costs and risks is critical to continuing the traditional electric operating companies' value proposition to customers. In particular, Georgia Power has agreed to file its next base rate case in a manner that will ensure the incremental revenue from large load customers has downward pressure, on a levelized basis, of at least $556 million per year for the years 2029, 2030, and 2031. See Note 2 to the financial statements under "Georgia Power - Integrated Resource Plans - Certification Requests" in Item 8 herein for additional information. While electric service agreements with new large load customers (including data centers) typically include provisions such as early termination payments, minimum bills, and financial security, these and other contractual provisions may not fully protect the traditional electric operating companies against all risks. Changes in industry practice or advances in the related technologies could reduce the demand for electricity to power data centers or other large load facilities. Additionally, these industries may experience a business downturn, which could cause the loss of current or potential customers or may weaken the financial condition and creditworthiness of existing customers. If anticipated demand growth does not materialize, the traditional electric operating companies could experience unrecovered capital investments made to serve expected load. Conversely, if demand grows more rapidly than projected, the traditional electric operating companies may face challenges in securing adequate generation and transmission capacity and maintaining service reliability.
