Duke’s EPS has grown at a compounded annual growth rate(CAGR) of 7.2% over the last four years, leading to a cumulative growth of 32 percentage points. This is roughly the same growth rate as that of the company’s top line, which has grown as a result of higher unit pricing and load growth to residential buyers of electricity. On top of those, the company has been disciplined in cost management and has grown its operating and profit margins over this period. If not for the increase in shares issued over the period, the company’s EPS would have grown by 59.3 percentage points cumulatively or 12.3% CAGR.
