Dominion Shareholders Approve $67B NextEra Merger With 671M Votes
D sits 19% above its 52-week low of $55.854.
Summary
Dominion Energy shareholders approved the $67 billion all-stock merger with NextEra Energy at a special meeting on September 3, 2026, with 671,317,253 votes in favor. This follows the DEFM14A filed July 28 that set the vote date, and the 8-K filed earlier today confirming the result. The approval clears a major hurdle for the deal, which still faces regulatory scrutiny from FERC and state regulators, including Virginia's intervention. The vote count represents overwhelming support, removing uncertainty around shareholder approval. Next steps include regulatory approvals and closing conditions, with the merger targeting a second-half 2026 completion.
