EVP CEO Ghartey-Tagoe Kodwo sells 18.2K DUK shares for $2.4M at $131.54–$132.06; reduces stake 28.0%

Ghartey-Tagoe Kodwo, EVP and CEO of Duke Energy's Carolinas and Natural Gas business, executed two separate sales totaling 18,246 shares for $2,400,653.47 on March 2, 2026, reducing his shareholding by 28.0% from 65,263 to 47,017 shares. The sales occurred at blended average price $131.57, near the current price of $131.43 and within 0.2% of the 52-week high of $131.63. In his cross-ticker track record, his prior sell achieved a 90-day return of -1.4% (well-timed, as the stock declined after), and his sole prior sale at Duke Energy on February 28, 2025 showed identical timing metrics (30d +2.0%, 90d -1.4%). The timing context is favorable—stock prices have rallied 8.3% over 30 days and 10.8% over 90 days—but the sale's significance is moderated by the executive's division-level scope and the absence of signals indicating broader management concern regarding Duke Energy's $102.2B market cap and stable fundamentals (P/E 18.80, annual revenue growth +5.6%).

EVP/CLO Kodwo Ghartey-Tagoe sold 9,007 shares of DUK at $117.10 for $1.1M, reducing holdings by 16.5%

Kodwo Ghartey-Tagoe, Executive Vice President, Chief Legal Officer & Corporate Secretary, executed a substantial sale of 9,007 shares at $117.10 on 2025-02-28, reducing his holdings from 54,716 shares to 45,709 shares. The -16.5% reduction in his position represents a meaningful disposal by a senior legal and governance executive, though his post-transaction stake of 45.7K shares remains material. Duke Energy's stock has appreciated 6.0% over the past 30 days and 4.4% over 90 days, trading at $118.67 current price near its 52-week range, suggesting a generally positive price environment at the time of sale relative to recent performance. Without information about the scheduling or plan status of this transaction, the significance remains moderate.
