Barclays maintains an 'Equalweight' on Duke Energy (NYSE: DUK) price target of $15.00.

Analyst, Ross L. Smotrich, said, "We are maintaining our FY2012 FFO estimate of $1.02ps; our operating FFO estimate of $1.04ps remains near the upper end of guidance ($0.98-$1.06ps versus $0.94-$1.06ps previously). We are lowering our 2013 FFO estimate a penny per share to $1.15ps. Our estimates imply a 10% YOY operating FFO decline in 2012, followed by 12% growth in 2013. We project 5% average annual operating FFO growth from 2011-2016 and 8% annual CAD growth."
