NextEra Energy (NEE) Earnings On Deck – What To Expect

NextEra Energy (NYSE: NEE) prepares to release its second-quarter 2025 earnings report tomorrow morning, with the company holding up well above $75. Trading close to $77, and having found support in previous resistance at $75, all eyes turn to the latest set of financials.

Analysts forecast earnings per share (EPS) of $1.01 for this quarter, with revenue expected to come in at $7.5 billion. This would reflect a 23% sales growth from the same period Y/Y.

Despite reporting a lackluster first quarter, NextEra Energy has steadfastly reaffirmed its adjusted EPS guidance for the years 2025 through 2027.

The company projects adjusted EPS in the range of $3.45 to $3.70 for 2025, $3.63 to $4.00 for 2026, and $3.85 to $4.32 for 2027.

This unwavering confidence in future performance has provided some reassurance to investors, signaling management's belief in the company's underlying strengths and long-term growth prospects.

Furthermore, NextEra's commitment to increasing its dividends per share at an approximate rate of 10% per year through at least 2026, based on a 2024 base, adds to the attractiveness of the stock, particularly for income-seeking investors. The recent dividend increase in March 2025, bringing the annualized dividend to $2.27 per share with a yield of approximately 3.21%, further underscores this commitment.

There are signs that the market may be skeptical. The put contract available for the July 25th expiration at the $67.00 strike price, with a current bid of $1.65, reveals investor hedging strategies and potential expectations of downside risk.

This suggests that while some investors remain optimistic about NextEra's long-term prospects, others are bracing for potential negative surprises in the upcoming earnings report.
