Fundamental quality

REASONABLE

60

out of 100

NextEra Energy Inc earns a fundamental-quality score of 60 out of 100, profiling it as a company of reasonable quality. Its score rests mainly on its profitability (net margin 31.6%). Its weakest area is its financial strength (net debt 6.35× EBITDA). Whether it's cheap or expensive depends on the current price, which you can compute in the tool.

What the company does

NextEra Energy is one of the largest U.S. utilities. It combines a regulated, very stable utility in Florida (Florida Power & Light) with the world's largest producer of wind and solar power. It pairs the stability of a public service with the growth of renewables.

What will shape its future

  • Growth in electricity demand (data centers, electrification), which fuels its expansion.
  • Interest rates: building renewables requires a lot of debt, and high rates make its financing costlier.
  • The regulatory framework and public incentives for clean energy.
