Duke Energy Corporation added three new risk factors and removed two from its 2025 10-K, while substantively revising seven existing risks including those related to pandemic health events, ESG expectations, and regulated utility revenue dependencies. The company maintained 25 unchanged risk factors, indicating core risk exposures remained consistent year-over-year. The modifications suggest Duke Energy is responding to evolving regulatory, environmental, and operational challenges while maintaining its foundational risk disclosure framework.
