NextEra Tops Q3 Estimates With $1.24 Adjusted EPS on Renewables Strength
NEE is trading near its 52-week low of $74.41 (7.0% above the low).
Summary
NextEra posted Q3 adjusted EPS of $1.24 versus the $1.18 LSEG consensus, a roughly 5% beat, as the renewables unit and rising power demand drove results. The quarter also brought 3Q EPS of $2.28, net income of $4.78B and revenue of $8.09B. The print lands after a heavy stretch of news: the $65 billion Dominion Energy acquisition is working through regulatory review, with the combination continuing to advance following holder approval, and management reaffirmed 2026 adjusted EPS guidance of $3.92-$4.02 in September, targeting the high end. Looking further out, the company expects to grow adjusted EPS at a compound annual growth rate of 8%+ through 2032 and is targeting the same from 2032-2035, off a 2025 base, and expects to grow dividends at roughly a 10% rate per year through 2026. For a company this size, a modest EPS beat alone rarely moves the stock much, but it supports the guidance range heading into the Dominion close.
