Upturn Advisory & Investor View for NEE

09/15/2026: NEE (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

NextEra Energy is a prominent clean energy company that operates through a stable, rate-regulated electric utility in Florida and a large-scale competitive renewable energy development business. The company holds a leading position in wind and solar generation, benefiting from both regulated stability and the structural growth of the global energy transition. Its main growth opportunity lies in providing renewable power solutions for the surging data center industry. Key risks include exposure to interest rate volatility, the geographic concentration of its utility business, and execution risks inherent in large infrastructure projects. It is generally well-suited for investors seeking a blend of defensive utility income and long-term renewable growth.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

NEE receives a 4-star rating, supported by solid company fundamentals, solid quantitative characteristics, and solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

NEE has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid cash generation (FCF margin 11.7%) and solid revenue growth (+11.0%) are partially offset by slightly negative earnings growth (-1.6%), very low insider ownership of 0.12%.

Financial Health Rating

NEE's financial health is supported by strong cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation of $3.2B (11.7% of revenue). Liquidity is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

Revenue growth is NEE's strongest growth driver at +11.0% FY2025 versus FY2024 (solid, 4 stars). By comparison, while earnings growth (-1.6%, slightly negative) and free-cash-flow growth (-32.3%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

Institutional ownership is 87.0% and approximately 99.8% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.12%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

BlackRock Inc 8.57%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 6.49%
State Street Corp 5.74%
JPMorgan Chase & Co 5.37%
Morgan Stanley - Brokerage Accounts 3.10%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

NEE generates approximately $628 of gross profit, $301 of operating income, and $117 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Strong cash conversion and healthy margins support the rating, although capital efficiency remains below the highest tier.

Economic Dimensions

Effective Tax Rate: -17.71% (Tax Credit)

Quantitative Style Profile

NEE has a high-quality, large-cap, liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while valuation that is moderately attractive rather than deeply discounted.
