JP Morgan maintained Duke Energy
DUK
with an Overweight rating and raised the price target from $74.00 to $75.00. JP Morgan commented, "We are comfortable going into the event Thursday, as we see the potential for modest, visibility-driven upside as the company addresses how it will reach its 4-6% long-term earnings growth target amid weak load growth, several major outstanding rate cases and pressures on the international segment. Despite outperforming the group YTD, we see DUK shares as pricing in a relatively timid growth trajectory, especially for 2013. We also see any incremental growth via aggressive cost control and visibility associated with the introduction of segment-specific and rate base guidance as positives." Duke Energy closed at $69.46 on Friday.
