Scores as of 21 Aug 2026. Each bar is a percentile: how this company ranked against every company the score ranked, 0–100. A list is a published formula and its output, not a recommendation. Method version 2.
Dividend coverage (FY2025)
Covered by reported results. In FY2025, NEE's dividend was covered by reported results (earnings payout 68%, operating-cash-flow payout 37%). This describes past coverage, not a forecast.
- Earnings payout68% dividends / net income
- Operating-cash-flow payout37% dividends / operating cash flow — capital spending was not reported, so this does not subtract it
Coverage derived from reported SEC EDGAR XBRL figures for FY2025 (dividends paid vs. net income and free cash flow, same fiscal year). This describes PAST coverage for one fiscal year — it does not predict whether a dividend will be maintained, raised, or cut, and a one-year payout ratio can be distorted by non-recurring items. Informational only — not financial advice.
How NextEra Energy looks technically
NextEra Energy (NEE) is trading 4.7% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend. Its 50-day average crossed below its 200-day average about 15 trading days ago — a "death cross", a bearish long-term signal. There is no clear trend right now — the price is choppy (ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 15, below the 25 that marks a real trend). Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 32, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bearish about 2 trading days ago (its momentum flipped negative). It just made a new 20-day low, its first since 2026-01-20, breaking below its recent trading range. It is 15.3% below its highest point of the past year.
Trend

| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $87.78 | $87.78 |
| Swing structure | each recent peak has been lower than the one before it and each dip deeper — the pattern chart-watchers call a downtrend, which describes where price has already been and not where it goes next | lower highs and lower lows |
| Last swing turn | its last significant turn was a swing low 14 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 14 sessions |
| Wave structure | its recent swings can be read as a completed three-part downward correction — a pullback in the A-B-C shape Elliott-wave chartists use; the labelling fails if price closes below 83.49. It is the only labelling that fits, though not with textbook proportions, and it describes the swings already printed, not what comes next. | possible three-wave downward correction, complete (atypical proportions) |
| Since the 50/200 cross | its 50-day average crossed below its 200-day average about 15 trading days ago — a "death cross", a bearish long-term signal | 15 sessions |

| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 32, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 31.8 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading right at the bottom of its 14-day range ($83.49 to $87.52) — its "stochastic" reading is 4 out of 100, where 0 would mean closing exactly at the 14-session low and 100 exactly at the high. This measures WHERE the price sits inside its recent range, which is a different question from the RSI beside it: RSI is a momentum gauge, measuring how FAST the price has been moving, so a stock can drift quietly to the bottom of its range with an ordinary RSI, or fall sharply and still sit in the middle. It has been slipping within that range over the last few sessions. | 4.0 |

| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($69.77 to $97.88), and it has given back around half of its rise from last year’s low — 51% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $79.61 to $80.51. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 50.6% |
| From the all-time high | it is 15.3% below its all-time high | -15.3% |
| Nearest price level | it is sitting right on a support level at $83.53 — a price it turned at twice since 2026-06-01, most recently on 2026-08-07. Since 2024-08-21 it has 10 such levels below the current price and 3 above. Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | -0.1% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $4.55 (set on 2000-02-25) | $4.55 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 1739.7% above its all-time low | +1,740% |
Volatility
5
| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are about average versus its own recent 6-month history | 51st percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $1.51 between its high and its low — about 1.8% of its price. That is its "average true range" over the last 14 sessions, which also counts the distance from the previous close, so a day that opens well away from yesterday counts as the large move it was | $1.51 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $83.40 and $89.18 — the "Bollinger bands", a range drawn two standard deviations either side of its 20-day average price, which widens when the stock gets more volatile and narrows when it settles | $83.40 – $86.29 – $89.18 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 1.8% in a typical session — among the calmest in the catalog. This is the average gap between a session's high and low over the last 14 sessions, counting overnight moves, expressed against the current price so it can be compared with companies trading at any price | 1.8% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 2.7 daily ranges below its 200-day average price (4.7% below it in plain percentage terms) — a way of asking how far it has stretched from its own average in units of how far it normally moves in a day, so a calm company and a jumpy one can be compared on the same scale | 2.7 daily ranges below its 200-day average |

Signal agreement
2
| Bullish technical signals | 1 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it is currently in a bullish state: near the bottom of its 14-day range (oversold) — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 1 of 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 6 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bearish state: a "death cross" — its 50-day average is below its 200-day, trading below its 200-day average, a fresh 20-day low, MACD momentum is negative, lagging the market over 6 months, trading below the Ichimoku cloud — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 6 of 9 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading 4.6% below the Ichimoku cloud — a band drawn from where its own highs and lows sat up to 2026-07-16 and projected forward over today's price, the side traders read as an established downtrend, with the band above acting as the level that would have to be cleared. The band itself is moderate, spanning 4.1% of the share price. | -4.6% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
2
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 6% below the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $88.92 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 157 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -5.9% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 3% below the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-07-24 (its 10-Q), so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $86.40 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 21 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -3.2% |
Price levels it has turned at before
NEE last closed at $83.65 on 2026-08-21. Since 2024-08-21 it has turned at 10 prices below its last close and 3 above; the 3 nearest below and the 3 nearest above are listed, nearest first.

Wave structure
Its recent swings can be read as a three-part downward correction — the A-B-C shape chartists use for a pullback — now complete.
This labelling fails — stops being a possible reading at all — if it closes below $83.49.
It is the only labelling that fits these swings, though its proportions are not the textbook ones.
This reading has stood for 6 trading days, since 2026-08-14.

- Consensus EPS estimate$1.21 next reporting period, as of 2026-08-22
Change over time is not available yet: it needs two readings of the same reporting period at least 30 days apart, and we have been recording these estimates since 2026-08-04. An estimate for a DIFFERENT quarter is not a revision, so a reading from before the last report is never compared with one after it.
The consensus estimate for the next reporting period, and how it has moved between readings of that SAME period. A change is measured only between readings estimating one period — when a company reports, the consensus moves to the next quarter and the two numbers are not comparable.

Management's Discussion & Analysis (MD&A)
- Added:
- Newer filing describes FPL as 'the largest electric utility in the U.S.' instead of 'one of the largest electric utilities in the U.S.' (filed 2026-04-23)
- Newer filing describes NEER as 'one of the largest energy infrastructure developers in the U.S.' rather than 'the world's largest generator of renewable energy from the wind and sun based on 2024 MWh produced on a net generation basis, as well as a world leader in battery storage capacity' (filed 2026-04-23)
- Newer filing references Note 13 for segment information versus Note 12 in older filing (filed 2026-04-23)
- Newer filing references '2025 Form 10-K' versus '2024 Form 10-K' in older filing (filed 2026-04-23)
- Newer filing presents only three-month period data (March 31, 2026 vs 2025) whereas older filing presents both three-month and nine-month period data (September 30, 2025 vs 2024) (filed 2026-04-23)
- Newer filing includes discussion of legislative activities including 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA)', executive orders, tariffs, and federal agency guidance affecting NEE and FPL (filed 2026-04-23)
- Newer filing mentions 'gains on the 2026 sale of ownership interests in a transmission asset' as a driver of NEER's results (filed 2026-04-23)
- Removed:
- Older filing included 'Differential membership interests-related – NEER' line item in adjusted earnings table with $(5) million for nine months 2024 (filed 2025-10-28)
- Older filing included nine-month period comparisons for adjusted earnings and results of operations discussion (filed 2025-10-28)
- Older filing referenced 'fuel clause or base rates' regarding FPL derivative settlement; newer filing only mentions 'fuel clause' (filed 2026-04-23 versus 2025-10-28)
- Reworded:
- Changed from 'discussions' to 'discussion' in sentence about reading MD&A (filed 2026-04-23)
- Changed from 'prior year periods' to 'prior year period' in comparisons language (filed 2026-04-23)
- Corporate and Other description of results drivers changed from discussing nine-month decrease to only discussing three-month increase (filed 2026-04-23)
- Summary section explains net income increase of $1,349 million for three months ended March 31, 2026 versus $586 million increase for three months ended September 30, 2025 (different periods compared)
- Notes:
- The two filings cover different interim periods (Q1 2026 vs Q3 2025), making some differences attributable to the natural progression of time and different business activities in different quarters rather than policy changes
- Newer filing text appears to be truncated at the end of the legislative activities paragraph, preventing complete comparison of that section

Insider activity (SEC Form 4)
No open-market insider purchases or sales are on record for NEE — recent Form 4 activity was compensation-related (awards, option exercises, or tax withholding), not open-market buying or selling.
View full insider trading history → View SEC Form 3/4/5 filingsOnly open-market purchases (SEC code P) and sales (code S) are counted here. Option exercises, vesting/awards, gifts, and shares withheld for taxes are excluded — they are compensation or mechanical, not open-market conviction. Sales may be planned and non-discretionary (e.g. a Rule 10b5-1 plan) and are not necessarily bearish; open-market buying is not a recommendation to buy. Informational only — not financial advice.
Congressional trading disclosures
U.S. House members publicly disclose their own, their spouse's, and dependent children's stock transactions under the STOCK Act. We hold 26 matched disclosures for NEE from U.S. House Clerk Periodic Transaction Report filings.

reported quarterly holdings change (2025-12-31 → 2026-03-31): 0 new, 4 increased, 1 decreased, 0 exited. Change counts cover only managers that filed 13F reports in BOTH quarters, derived between two quarter-end snapshots — not same-day trades; a single manager is never said to have "bought" or "sold".
Institutional holdings are quarter-end long positions reported on SEC Form 13F-HR, filed up to 45 days after the quarter ends — they are delayed, are not real-time trades, exclude short positions and most non-US securities, and are not investment advice. Any increase/decrease is a reported change between two quarterly snapshots, not a same-day purchase or sale. These are quarter-end snapshots from the 13F filings on SEC EDGAR, filed within 45 days — not real-time, and any change is a difference between two quarterly reports, not a same-day trade.

Short interest (FINRA)
NEE had 63,143,539 shares of reported short interest as of the 2026-07-31 FINRA settlement date (delayed, bi-monthly; not real-time).
NEE had 3.03% of its shares outstanding sold short as of the 2026-07-31 FINRA settlement date (percent of FLOAT would be higher — float is not disclosed in the source). FINRA reported 6.2 days to cover at the same settlement.

- Prior settlement (shares) 51,979,231
- Reported change 21.48%
- Days to cover (reported) 6.2
Reported to FINRA as of the 2026-07-31 settlement date. Short interest is reported to FINRA and published on a delayed, bi-monthly schedule (as of a settlement date, disseminated roughly eight business days later) — it is NOT real-time, does not cover every venue or all US trading, and is not a short-squeeze prediction or investment advice. Days-to-cover is the value FINRA reports; percent of float is not shown because the source file carries no share-count denominator — where a percent appears it is of shares OUTSTANDING, the larger base, and is therefore a floor on percent of float.
