Upturn Advisory & Investor View for NEE

10/13/2026: NEE (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

NextEra Energy is a prominent clean energy company comprising a large rate-regulated electric utility in Florida and a massive, competitive renewable energy generation business. The company holds a leading position in wind and solar capacity, benefiting from secular trends like data center energy growth. While its utility operations provide reliable, defensive cash flows, its renewable segment offers significant long-term growth potential. Primary risks include interest rate sensitivity, regulatory challenges, and extreme weather, which can impact project development and operational stability. It is well-suited for dividend-focused and growth-oriented investors looking for exposure to the energy transition, though monitoring utility rate cases and interest rate trends remains essential.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
NEE receives a 4-star rating, supported by solid company fundamentals, solid quantitative characteristics, and strong 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 8.96%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 6.53%
State Street Corp 5.70%
JPMorgan Chase & Co 5.56%
Morgan Stanley - Brokerage Accounts 3.04%

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. Solid margins and soft cash conversion support a 3-star rating, while capital efficiency is soft.

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.
