On April 8, 2025, Duke Energy (DUK) experienced a significant decline in trading volume, with a 31.46% decrease from the previous day, totaling 5.80 billion.

Duke Energy has recently taken steps to extend the operating licenses for two of its nuclear stations. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approved a 20-year extension for the Oconee Nuclear Station, which is Duke Energy's largest nuclear plant. This extension is expected to support the growing energy demand and help keep customer costs as low as possible. Additionally, Duke Energy has filed a license renewal application for the Robinson Nuclear Plant, seeking a similar 20-year extension.

These strategic moves by Duke Energy are aimed at ensuring the long-term sustainability and reliability of its nuclear power operations. By extending the operating licenses, Duke Energy can continue to provide a stable source of energy while also addressing the increasing demand for power. This proactive approach is likely to have a positive impact on the company's long-term growth and financial performance.
