Nicholas Amicucci has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight NextEra Energy’s strong market position and growth potential. The company is recognized as a leader in renewable energy, particularly in wind and solar, holding approximately 20% of the U.S. renewables market. This positions NextEra to effectively address the increasing demand for energy generation across the country. Additionally, NextEra Energy Resources is expected to expand its high-capacity generation capabilities through gas and nuclear assets, providing a diversified energy portfolio.
Furthermore, NextEra’s strategic market presence allows it to withstand challenges within the renewable sector and potentially gain market share from smaller competitors. The company’s ability to capitalize on mergers and acquisitions, particularly in gas generation, further strengthens its position. NextEra’s partnerships with hyperscalers and its capacity to monetize IRA credits enhance its financial stability and investment appeal. With a robust backing from Florida Power & Light, the largest regulated utility in the U.S., and a significant portion of its EBITDA derived from regulated sources, NextEra is well-positioned for long-term growth, supporting the Buy rating with a target price of $92.
In another report released on September 25, Morgan Stanley also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $95.00 price target.
