Duke Energy price target raised to $132 from $131 at Guggenheim

Guggenheim analyst Shahriar Pourreza raised the firm’s price target on Duke Energy (DUK) to $132 from $131 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The firm, which shuffled ratings in the utilities sector, argues that the group is “oversold, undervalued” and should outperform in 2025. In its ratings reworking, the firm upgraded six stocks to Buy and downgraded four to Neutral, adding that utilities are “not an interest rate call, not a yield call… it’s a GARP call,” describing the sector as offering “growth at a reasonable price.”
