-- CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:
NextEra Energy posted strong Q1 2026 results with adjusted EPS rising 10.1% to $1.09, beating consensus by 5.8%. Both FPL and NEER contributed meaningfully, with FPL delivering 9.4% earnings growth due to 8.8% regulatory capital growth and 100K new customers, while NEER achieved 13.6% adjusted earnings growth. We view this as positive validation of NEE's balanced growth model and competitive positioning among utility peers. Management maintained full-year 2026 adjusted EPS guidance of $3.92-$4.02 while targeting the high end of the range. We expect continued momentum from FPL's $12B-$13B capital expenditure program and NEER's record 33GW development backlog following 4GW of Q1 additions. The U.S. Department of Commerce's selection of NEER to develop 9.5GW of gas generation supports our confidence in the data center hub strategy. We believe NEE's long-term 8%+ adjusted EPS CAGR through 2032 remains one of the most attractive growth profiles in the sector.
