AI Analysis

AI-generated, general educational analysis — not personal investment advice.

I approach NextEra as a regulated electric utility with a large renewable-development arm, not as a fast-growing technology company. The base business serves customers through Florida Power & Light and NEER; the regulated utility is the closest thing to a moat here, but it earns regulated returns rather than an unregulated franchise. A 0.64 beta and 3.10% dividend yield suggest a defensive profile. But defense is not cheap. At the $82.04 close on 2026-10-26, FairStock calculates a P/E of 18.44, P/B of 3.00, EV/EBITDA of 16.58, and FCF yield of only 2.4%. The Graham Number is $54.18, so the price sits 51.53% above that conservative reference; no Graham-style margin of safety. Returns are modest too: ROE 11.68% and ROCE 2.44%. Debt/equity is 1.62 and Altman Z-score is 0.82, so the balance sheet needs watching. Growth is mixed in the filed figures. FY2025 revenue was $25.8B versus $23.5B in FY2024, but net income was $6.8B versus $6.9B and diluted EPS $3.30 versus $3.37; FY2023 was stronger at $7.3B net income and $3.60 EPS. The latest filed comparison is better: in fiscal Q1 2026, quarter ended 2026-03-31, revenue $6.1B, net income $2.2B, diluted EPS $1.04, versus $6.0B, $833.0M, and $0.40 in fiscal Q1 2025. FairStock's Lynch category is STALWART, with 18.5% annual profit growth and 8.7% revenue growth over five years, and its FairStock Score is 58/100. I see a good utility with a fair growth story, but the price already reflects much of it.

In plain English: NextEra makes and sells electricity, with utility operations and a large clean-energy business. It earns steady revenue and pays a 3.1% dividend, but profits have moved unevenly and debt is high. The share price looks expensive compared with the company's accounting value and cash flow.
