NextEra Energy (NEE) Stock Week Ahead: Data-Center Deals, Updated Forecasts, Analyst Targets, and Key Risks for Dec. 22–26, 2025

NextEra Energy, Inc. (NYSE: NEE) heads into a holiday-shortened week with investors balancing two forces that often pull utility stocks in opposite directions: rapidly rising power demand tied to AI and data centers (a growth catalyst) and the interest-rate/policy backdrop (a valuation and permitting risk).

Chevron Stock (CVX) Week Ahead Forecast: Venezuela Oil Crackdown, Holiday-Thin Trading, and the Key Levels to Watch (Dec. 22–26, 2025)

Chevron Corporation (NYSE: CVX) heads into Christmas week with a very specific setup: thin holiday liquidity, big geopolitics around Venezuelan crude flows, and a market trying to decide whether year-end tailwinds (the “Santa rally” narrative) can overcome rate-path uncertainty and shutdown-delayed data. Reuters+1 As of the latest available print, Chevron stock is around $147.75, essentially flat versus the prior close. That puts CVX meaningfully below several commonly watched moving averages and well off autumn highs—setting the stage for an event-driven week where oil headlines may matter more than company headlines.

Utilities Stocks Week Ahead (Dec 22–26, 2025): Data-Center Power Demand, Record PJM Prices, and Fed “Pause” Signals Shape the Holiday Trade

Published: December 21, 2025 — Week Ahead Outlook Utilities stocks head into the Christmas-shortened trading week caught between two powerful narratives. On one side, rate cuts and a “soft-ish” growth backdrop usually favor utilities—classic “bond-proxy” shares that tend to benefit when investors expect borrowing costs to drift lower. On the other, utilities are no longer trading like sleepy defensives. The sector is being re-rated as critical AI infrastructure, because data centers are pulling forward years of electricity demand growth and forcing a historic buildout of generation, transmission, and grid hardware. That tension—lower-rate tailwinds vs. higher-capex and higher-bills backlash—is likely to

Chevron Corporation (NYSE: CVX) is heading into the final days of 2025 with its share price hovering around $148—but the most important catalyst for near-term sentiment isn’t an earnings headline or a refinery update.
