UBS upgraded Duke Energy (NYSE: DUK) from Neutral to Buy. PT increased from $22 to $24.
Analyst, Jim von Riesemann, said, "(1) The first two of three key regulatory rulings are due by Friday from Federal regulators; (2) Duke (NYSE: DUK) / Progress (NYSE: PGN) would create sector’s largest utility by market cap ($45.3B) likely driving indices and portfolio rebalancing; and, (3) modest $300MM (out of $6.0B) in combined O&M savings to make deal EPS neutral. Most regulated deals cut about 10%, which equates to roughly 10 cents in incremental EPS, which are not in our numbers."
