Buy NextEra Stock Down 20% for Value, Dividends, and AI Growth
NextEra Energy (NEE) stock tripled the S&P 500 over the past 25 years, soaring 1,140% as the renewable energy and Florida-based utility powerhouse steadily grew its earnings and raised its dividend. NEE trades 20% below its highs heading into Q2 earnings release on July 23. The energy stock underperformed over the last five years as Wall Street grew concerned about slowing earnings and dividend growth, as well as the possibility that some of the beneficial government subsidies for renewable energy would slowly disappear. On top of that, higher interest rates made dividend-paying utility stocks less attractive. Yet, NextEra Energy maintained its earnings guidance after its first quarter release and continues to expect to grow its dividends by 10% a year through at least 2026, off a 2024 base. Plus, the Fed is set to lower interest rates again in the back half of 2025, and the nuclear and renewable energy boom remains full steam ahead as the U.S. races to boost energy capacity. Now might be a great time for traders and long-term investors to buy beaten-down NextEra Energy stock down 20% from its peaks as it rides multiple converging megatrends such as the energy-hungry AI boom, electrification, and broader energy infrastructure expansion. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Why NextEra Energy is a Top Long-Term Buy and Hold Stock NEE operates one of the largest electric utilities, Florida Power & Light Company, in the U.S. The company's ability to grow in a major economic hub is critical. On top of that, its subsidiary, NextEra Energy Resources, is one of the leading electric energy infrastructure companies in the world. NextEra Energy is one of the largest producers of wind and solar energy on the planet. It is also a battery storage leader, a natural gas compnay, and an under-the-radar nuclear energy standout. The company boasts 38 GW of generation and storage in operation and a 28 GW backlog. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research This backdrop makes NextEra Energy a long-term winner as tech companies such as Meta and Amazon turn to nuclear and renewables (and nat gas) to drive their AI growth. On top of that, the U.S. government is all on nuclear and beyond as the country attempts to slowly wean off fossil fuels while growing the economy and using more energy than ever before due to AI. NextEra Energy is projected to grow its adjusted earnings by 7% in 2025 and 8% next year, following a 10% average expansion in the past five years. Its earnings revisions are trending higher heading into its Q2 report, and it's topped our bottom-line estimates for five years running. NEE is projected to grow its revenue by 17% and 11%, respectively. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research The stock has climbed around 190% in the past decade, lagging not too far behind the S&P 500's 205% despite its massive underperformance over the last five years. NEE did crush its sector's 22% run during that period. It is up 4% in 2025 while trading 20% below its highs and 8% under its average Zacks price target. NextEra Energy is holding ground above its pre-Covid selloff highs. It's attempting to climb above its long-term 50-week and 200-week moving averages and its YTD highs, which could lead to a breakout. On the valuation front, NextEra Energy trades over 40% below its highs and near its 25-year median at 19.5X forward 12-month earnings. NEE trades at a solid discount to the benchmark's 22.6X and not too much of a premium to its industry despite its long-term outperformance (+475 in the past 15 years vs. 77%). Image Source: Zacks Investment Research The $155 billion market cap energy and utility powerhouse is the largest holding in the Utilities Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLU), showcasing its standing and stability in the space. NextEra's 3% dividend yield roughly matches its Utility - Electric Power industry, and it's one of roughly 70 S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats (meaning it's paid and raised dividends for at least 25 straight years). Long-term investors have a chance to buy the next-generation energy and utility powerhouse at a solid discount. And traders can get in on NEE stock ahead of a potential post-earnings breakout if it impresses Wall Street. Want the latest recommendations from Zacks Investment Research?

NextEra Energy Outpaces Industry in a Month: How to Play the Stock?
Shares of NextEra Energy NEE have gained 0.8% in the past month against the Zacks Utility - Electric Power industry's decline of 2.1%. The company has also outperformed the Zacks Utilities sector in the same time frame. NextEra Energy's rising share price highlights its strong operational performance and growing customer base, which is fueling increased demand for its services. Falling interest rates are set to reduce capital servicing costs and improve the prospects for this capital-intensive company. Price performance (One Month) NEE is trading above its 50 and 200-day simple moving average ('SMA'), signaling a bullish trend. The 50-day SMA is a key indicator for traders and analysts to identify support and resistance levels. It is considered particularly important, as this is the first marker of an uptrend or downtrend of the stocks. NEE 50 and 200 Day SMA Should you consider adding NEE to your portfolio only based on positive price movements? Let's delve deeper and find out the factors that can help investors decide whether it is a good entry point to add the stock to their portfolio. Factors Acting as Tailwinds for NEE Stock Florida's expanding economy, driven by a robust job market, business migration and population inflows, has created fresh demand for electricity from all customer groups. NextEra Energy subsidiary, Florida Power & Light ('FPL'), serves more than 12 million people and plays a pivotal role in supporting Florida's ongoing economic development. As the state experiences accelerating population growth and economic expansion, the company stands to benefit from increasing electricity demand and a favorable regulatory climate. NextEra Energy benefited through its well-timed strategic acquisitions, including Gulf Power, which expanded NEE's regulated utility footprint in Florida. The successful merger of Gulf Power into FPL streamlined operations, achieved meaningful cost synergies and strengthened the utility's customer base, laying a solid foundation for long-term earnings growth and dividend stability. NextEra Energy, a capital-intensive company with a domestic focus, stands to gain from the Federal Reserve's decision to cut interest rates. The Fed has reduced the benchmark rate by 100 basis points, lowering it from the 5.25-5.5% range to 4.25-4.5%. Additional rate cuts anticipated in 2025 could further reduce the company's capital servicing costs. The demand for reliable 24x7 clean electricity is rising in the United States, and NextEra Energy, through FPL-operated nuclear plants, can provide a stable and carbon-free energy to its customers. FPL operates four nuclear units in Florida, having a total generating capacity of 3,502 megawatts (MW). NextEra Energy's other subsidiary, Energy Resources, continues to make long-term investments in clean energy assets. The company expects to be able to add 36.5-46.5 GW of new renewables in the 2024-2027 period to the generation portfolio via clean energy investments. Energy Resources' renewable backlog is more than 28 GW now. NextEra Energy's Earnings Estimates Up Y/Y NextEra Energy expects its 2025 earnings per share in the range of $3.45-$3.70, compared with $3.43 a year ago. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for NEE's 2025 and 2026 earnings per share indicates year-over-year growth of 7.29% and 7.95%, respectively. It expects to increase its earnings per share in the range of 6-8% annually through 2027 from the 2024 level. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Dominion Energy 's D 2025 and 2026 earnings per share indicates year-over-year growth of 22.38% and 5.65%, respectively. Dominion Energy has a portfolio of nearly 30,300 MW of electric-generating capacity and also operates nuclear power plants to produce clean energy. NEE Stock Returns Better Than Its Industry NextEra Energy's trailing 12-month return on equity (ROE) is 12.06%, ahead of the industry average of 10.41%. ROE is a financial ratio that measures how well a company uses its shareholders' equity to generate profits. The current ROE of the company indicates that it is using shareholders' funds more efficiently than its peers. Another utility, American Electric Power 's AEP ROE is 11.68%, better than its industry. To further strengthen its operation, AEP intends to invest $54 billion over the 2025-2029 period. NextEra Energy's Capital Return Program NextEra Energy plans to increase the dividend rate annually by 10%, at least through 2026, from the 2024 base, subject to its board's approval. The current annual dividend of the company is $2.27 per share, and the dividend yield of 3.05% is better than the Zacks S&P 500 Composite's yield of 1.52%. Check NEE's dividend history here. Dominion Energy's current annual dividend is $2.67 per share, reflecting a dividend yield of 4.65%. NextEra Energy's Shares Trading at a Premium The company is currently valued at a premium compared to its industry on a forward 12-month P/E basis. NextEra Energy is currently trading at 19.42X compared with the industry average of 14.63%. American Electric Power is trading at P/E F12M of 17.3X, a premium compared to its industry. Wrapping Up NextEra Energy maintains steady performance, supported by increasing demand for clean energy across its service areas. The company is consistently expanding its clean energy portfolio to keep pace with this rising demand. Florida's strong economic growth continues to present new opportunities for expansion. With improved earnings estimates and a solid return on equity, holding this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock remains a sound decision. However, since NEE is currently trading at a premium, it may be prudent to wait for a more attractive entry point before adding to positions.
