Key Metrics
Powered by EODHDP/E (TTM)
19.3
P/E (Price-to-Earnings)Shows how much investors pay for each $1 of profit. We display the TTM P/E (Trailing Twelve Months) which uses actual earnings from the last 4 quarters. This is more reliable than Forward P/E which uses analyst estimates.
Net Debt/EBITDA (TTM)
6.1x
Latest quarter: 22.4x
Net Debt / EBITDAA leverage ratio showing how many years of EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) it would take to repay net debt. EBITDA approximates operating cash generation. Lower ratios (e.g., <3x) are generally safer; higher (e.g., >5x) may indicate more financial risk.
Latest quarter (2026-06-30): 22.4x
The quarterly value can spike when quarterly EBITDA is very low (e.g., one-time charges).
Quick guide: <2x manageable, >4x can be risky (sector-dependent).
ROE
11.7%
ROE (Return on Equity)A profitability measure: how much profit is generated from shareholders’ equity. Higher isn’t always better if it comes from high debt.
EV/EBITDA
16.0x
EV/EBITDAA valuation ratio that compares total business value (including debt) to EBITDA. Lower can mean cheaper, but context matters.
Dividend Summary
Powered by EODHDDividend Yield (Fwd)
2.74%
TTM: 2.77%
Dividend YieldThe Forward yield (Fwd) shows the next announced annual dividend / current price — what you'd earn going forward. The Trailing yield (TTM) in the tooltip shows dividends actually paid in the last 12 months. Forward is shown as primary because it reflects the company's current commitment to shareholders.
Forward Yield (estimated): 2.74%
Trailing Yield (TTM, last 12 months): 2.77%
Payout Ratio (Fwd)
62.3% TTM
Payout RatioDividends as a percentage of earnings. The Forward payout (Fwd) uses the announced dividend divided by actual past earnings (TTM) — it tells you if the company can afford what it promised. Very high payouts can be risky, especially if profits fall.

Summary
NextEra Energy remains an elite, wide-moat utility with robust dividend growth driven by a structural surge in power demand. However, with a sub-3% yield and massive capital expenditure requirements driving ongoing share dilution, the current entry point offers a limited margin of safety. Existing holders should maintain their positions, while new buyers should wait for a pullback that pushes the yield higher.
Sector Context
NextEra Energy operates in the regulated electric utilities sector, where heavy debt loads and negative free cash flows are common due to massive, continuous infrastructure investments. DGI investors typically accept these traits in exchange for regulated, predictable earnings and reliable dividend growth.
📊 Strategy Analysis
- • Exceptional competitive moat combining Florida's premier regulated utility with a world-leading renewable energy development arm, recently bolstered by a $100B data center partnership.
- • Confirmed 7.5% upcoming dividend raise for 2026, extending a strong 11.0% long-term growth CAGR and demonstrating management confidence.
- • Earnings are well-supported with a safe TTM payout ratio of 62.3%, and the P/FFO of 11.9x indicates reasonable valuation for a capital-intensive utility.
⚠ What to Watch
- • The trailing dividend yield of 2.77% and forward yield of 2.83% fall slightly below the 3.0% threshold typically preferred for new DGI positions.
- • Substantial negative free cash flow (-$11.4B) and continuous share dilution (net buyback yield of -2.26%) are required to fund massive renewable capital expenditures.
- • Long-term structural risks include upcoming renewable Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) expirations between 2030-2035 and reliance on federal clean energy tax subsidies.
