What the Options Market Tells Us About NextEra Energy

Utilities, the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s biggest laggard in 2023, staged a remarkable rebound in 2024, fueled by surging electricity demand driven by artificial intelligence, electrification, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/utilities">and decarbonization trends.</a>
Among the beneficiaries of this momentum are ETFs with exposure to utility stocks like GE Vernova (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GEV#NYSE">GEV</a>), Vistra Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VST#NYSE">VST</a>) and NextEra Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEE#NYSE">NEE</a>), which may reap the benefits of the growing energy needs of data centers.
Three ETFs that can cash in on this trend include the Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLU#NYSE">XLU</a>), Vanguard Utilities ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VPU#NYSE">VPU</a>), and Fidelity MSCI Utilities Index ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FUTY#NYSE">FUTY</a>), each offering a way to invest in a bunch of companies supporting the energy-intensive operations of data centers.

The Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund, with an expense ratio of a mere 0.09% and assets of $16.39 billion under management, holds promise. NextEra,&nbsp;Constellation Energy&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CEG#NASDAQ">CEG</a>), and Vistra are among the top holdings of this fund, which mirrors the Utilities Select Sector Index as a benchmark.
The Vanguard Utilities ETF has an expense ratio of 0.10% and $8.8 billion in assets under management. This fund also gives significant weightage to NextEta, Constellation, and Vistra.
The Fidelity MSCI Utilities Index ETF is exposed to Nextra, Constellation and Vistra as well, and carries an expense ratio of 0.08%. 
Why Utilities Are Thriving
We often hear the phrase &#8220;data is the new oil&#8221; these days, and data centers, the backbone of the digital world, are often overlooked as power consumers. Supporting real-time communication, data storage, and cloud-based operations to run technologies like smartphones and connected appliances requires massive electricity, and there is one sector that data centers rely on for power &#8211; utility providers.
According to the International Energy Agency, data centers and data transmission networks comprise 1%-1.5% of global electricity use.
The increasing integration of AI, which relies on energy-intensive computations, further boosts this demand. Power demand growth for utilities—historically stagnant at 1%-2% annually—is now expected to climb to about 6-8% annually for the next decade, driven by these technological trends, <a href="https://www.fidelity.com/learning-center/trading-investing/outlook-utilities">reported </a>Fidelity Investments.
Utilities are traditionally a defensive sector with stability and lower sensitivity to economic fluctuations, as evident from &#8220;a lower beta relative to other sectors to the broad market,&#8221; per Fidelity.
These factors appealed to investors during a dynamic year. According to a Deloitte&nbsp;<a href="https://www2.deloitte.com/us/en/insights/industry/technology/technology-media-and-telecom-predictions/2025/genai-power-consumption-creates-need-for-more-sustainable-data-centers.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a>, the annual power consumption of AI data centers&nbsp;is anticipated to increase 10 times from 2022 and hit 90 terawatt-hours by 2026. The utility sector and ETFs exposed to it appear to be on an upward trajectory.

NextEra Energy's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEE#NYSE">NEE</a>) short percent of float has risen 6.17% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 35.40 million shares sold short, which is 1.72% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 4.26 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for NextEra Energy has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing NextEra Energy's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, NextEra Energy's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.14%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing NextEra Energy's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, NextEra Energy's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.09%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Looking Into NextEra Energy's Recent Short Interest

The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/esg">ESG investing space</a> had its ups and downs in 2024. Sustainable assets saw a 7% increase in AUM to $3.2 billion.
While the year has been challenging for ESG equity funds, particularly with underperformance in the first half, JPMorgan analysts are looking to 2025 with optimism. 
Among the most promising picks are bonds from major renewable energy players. These bonds are poised to benefit from tax credits, policy shifts, and growing demand for clean energy:
<ul>
<li>NextEra Energy Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEE#NYSE">NEE</a>) – $5.25% 03/15/34 Bond (Z-spread 132bp): As one of the largest developers of renewable energy in the US, NextEra Energy continues to be a top pick for investors focused on ESG. The company remains exposed to fluctuations in renewable tax credits and financing, but with strong customer demand and state carbon targets, its long-term prospects are solid. This bond offers a potential upside as NextEra continues to expand its solar and wind portfolios.</li>
<li>The AES Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AES#NYSE">AES</a>) – $2.45% 01/15/31 Green Bond (Z-spread 168bp): AES is another key player in the renewable energy space, benefiting from a large backlog of utility-scale projects. The company is positioned to capitalize on renewable PTCs, ITCs, and tax equity financing. With data center offtakers less sensitive to price hikes and interest rates, AES is well-positioned to navigate potential policy changes and remain a solid investment for ESG-focused bondholders.</li>
<li>Constellation Energy Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CEG#NASDAQ">CEG</a>) – $5.75% 03/15/54 Green Bond (Z-spread 190bp): As a leader in nuclear energy, Constellation Energy is supported by strong power fundamentals and firm nuclear sentiment across both sides of the legislature. With continued demand for reliable power and a growing market for data centers, Constellation is poised to benefit from its nuclear and renewable energy mix. This bond stands out as an attractive option for ESG investors looking for stable returns in the energy sector.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ESG Bonds Set To Shine In 2025</h2>
JPMorgan's ESG bond picks for 2025 focus on companies in the renewable energy and utilities sectors. These bonds are positioned to benefit from strong macroeconomic support and evolving policies favoring clean energy.
With growing demand for green energy and stable regulatory environments, bonds from NextEra, AES, and Constellation Energy are likely to be top picks for ESG-focused investors looking for solid returns in the coming year.

NextEra, AES, Constellation: JPMorgan's Top ESG Bond Picks For 2025

In the current market session, NextEra Energy Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEE#NYSE">NEE</a>) stock price is at $78.41, after a 0.14% decrease. However, over the past month, the company's stock increased by 1.37%, and in the past year, by 33.65%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is not performing up to par in the current session. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1732892466_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Comparing NextEra Energy P/E Against Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of 19.21 in the Electric Utilities industry, NextEra Energy Inc. has a higher P/E ratio of 23.3. Shareholders might be inclined to think that NextEra Energy Inc. might perform better than its industry group. It's also possible that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1732892467_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Renewable energy stocks present a buying opportunity despite recent electoral headwinds, according to UBS analysts, while Tesla Inc.

What Happened: UBS analysts on Thursday elevated U.S. and EU renewables to their top-ranking stock theme, citing an attractive entry point following steep post-election losses, <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/renewable-energy-stocks-election-trump-power-demand-data-centers-ubs-2024-11">reported</a> Business Insider. 
The announcement comes as clean energy shares have tumbled, with companies like Plug Power Inc.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENPH#NASDAQ">ENPH</a>) down over 24% since President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s victory.
&#8220;The environment of an unrelenting power demand shock puts just about every source of power generation in a solid position to capitalize,&#8221; UBS analysts wrote, pointing to surging power needs from artificial intelligence data centers and corporate sustainability goals.
The analysts remain optimistic despite Trump&#8217;s expected scaling back of President Joe Biden-era clean energy initiatives. They argue that companies could &#8220;grandfather&#8221; existing subsidies and that state-level emission goals will sustain industry growth.

Musk, despite his new role in the incoming Trump administration, has historically remained bullish on renewable energy. &#8220;Once you understand Kardashev Scale, it becomes utterly obvious that essentially all energy generation will be solar,&#8221; he posted on X.

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GNRC#NYSE">GNRC</a>) in the U.S., along with European players like Iberdrola (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBDRY#OTC">IBDRY</a>), Siemens Energy (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMEGF#OTC">SMEGF</a>), and Orsted (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DOGEF#OTC">DOGEF</a>). The analysts cite historical precedent, noting that solar installations grew 50% during Trump&#8217;s previous term.
The renewable sector&#8217;s growth potential is further supported by expanding applications, including Musk&#8217;s recent suggestion that SpaceX&#8217;s Starlink satellite network could integrate <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41648885/spacex-ceo-elon-musk-agrees-that-starlink-could-combine-hardware-with-solar-panels-and-batteries">solar panels and batteries into its hardware offering</a>.
