Case Study: Duke Energy Corporation achieves faster, more confident acquisition valuations with Palisade's @RISK

Duke Energy Corporation - Customer Case Study

Duke Energy Corporation (formerly Cinergy) faced a rapidly changing, deregulated utility market that required fast, high‑stakes decisions on acquisitions and other transactions despite incomplete information. To quantify uncertainty around value drivers, return on capital and value at risk, the company adopted Palisade’s @RISK for acquisition and transaction analysis.

Palisade’s @RISK let analysts such as Soubhagya Parija build intuitive Monte Carlo models to reveal asset values and risk profiles, producing results the team could be “at least 90% certain of.” Using Palisade’s tool across departments streamlined asset valuation, sped decision-making for multi‑billion‑dollar deals and provided a portable, easy‑to‑use decision‑support process throughout the company.
