UPDATE: BofA Securities Upgrades Duke Energy (DUK) to Buy

(updating comment)

BofA Securities analyst Julien Dumoulin-Smith upgraded Duke Energy (NYSE: DUK) from Neutral to Buy, PT $85.00 (from $87.00).

The analyst comments "reflected. We see real reason for an inflection in EPS expectations with both positive regulatory backdrop on ’21 legislation & positive revisions to IRP capex (based on forthcoming reaction from NC gov/NCUC). While coal ash rate case remains outstanding (and much anticipated cautious point), we perceive an order similar to Dominion as quite likely (after latest stakeholder discussions); this would help firm up doubtful expectations."
