NextEra Energy stock rises after NEE reaffirms earnings, dividend targets ahead of January investor meetings

NextEra Energy shares rose 0.8% to $80.93 at Friday’s close after the utility reaffirmed its long-term earnings and dividend growth targets ahead of January investor meetings. A regulatory filing showed NextEra kept its 2025 adjusted earnings per share outlook at $3.62 to $3.70 and its 2026 target at $3.92 to $4.02, and it still expects at least 8% compound annual growth in adjusted EPS through 2032. The company also reiterated a target of at least 8% adjusted EPS growth through 2035 and said it expects dividends per share to grow about 10% annually through 2026, followed by about 6% growth in 2027 and 2028.

With U.S. exchanges closed for the weekend, investors are digesting Friday’s quiet, post-Christmas session and a short list of fresh headlines that nevertheless matter for regulated utilities: winter-storm risk in the Northeast, rising scrutiny of power bills amid data-center expansion, and renewed legal and policy uncertainty around offshore wind.

Utilities Stocks Outlook 2026: AI Data Centers, Fed Rate Cuts and Rising Power Bills Put the Sector Back in Focus

U.S. utilities stocks are ending 2025 with a split personality.

NextEra Energy, Inc. is ending 2025 with a familiar role—and a new narrative. For years, investors have treated NextEra as a premium “growth utility,” built on Florida Power & Light’s regulated stability and NextEra Energy Resources’ renewables scale.
