$1000 Invested In NextEra Energy 20 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Looking into the current session, NextEra Energy Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEE#NYSE">NEE</a>) shares are trading at $79.50, after a 4.07% decrease. Over the past month, the stock decreased by 6.70%, but over the past year, it actually increased by 36.16%. With questionable short-term performance like this, and great long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio.

<h3>How Does NextEra Energy P/E Compare to Other Companies?</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. 
NextEra Energy has a better P/E ratio of 24.59 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 19.25 of the Electric Utilities industry. Ideally, one might believe that NextEra Energy Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1730235187_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.

<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.

Barclays Maintains Equal-Weight on NextEra Energy, Raises Price Target to $82

Goldman Sachs analyst Carly Davenport raised the price target for NextEra Energy, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEE#NYSE">NEE</a>) to $92 (from $86) and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/nee/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">reiterated the Buy rating</a>.
Recently, the company reported third-quarter adjusted EPS of $1.03 exceeded the estimate of $0.98, while sales of $7.567 billion fell short of the $<a target="_blank" href="https://www.investor.nexteraenergy.com/~/media/Files/N/NEE-IR/news-and-events/events-and-presentations/2024/10-23-24/2024-1023%20NEEQ32024News%20Release%20vFinal.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">8.054 </a>billion estimate.
The analyst says the quarter underscored strong demand for renewables amid growing power needs, showcasing NEE&#8217;s competitive advantages as a developer to capitalize on this trend.
While the analyst remains optimistic about NEE&#8217;s potential to expand its renewables capacity in the coming years, they also see opportunities to incorporate nuclear (through Duane Arnold) and gas to meet increasing power demand from a diverse range of industries, not just tech companies.
Davenport anticipates this will support earnings growth exceeding the company&#8217;s current guidance of 6%-8%, with projected EPS growth averaging 10% from 2024 to 2027.
The analyst sees strong near- and medium-term demand for renewable power, driven by growth in sectors beyond technology and AI.
Davenport says that the company is well-positioned to meet its renewable development targets, needing to add just 1.7 GW per quarter to reach the midpoint of its range, compared to around 3 GW in the previous two quarters.
The analyst maintains a positive outlook on the company&#8217;s backlog additions, anticipating the development of approximately 44 GW of renewables from 2024 to 2027, compared to guidance of 36.5-45.5 GW.
To hit the midpoint of this range, the analyst estimates that NEE needs to add 1.7 GW per quarter, assuming no further backlog additions occur after the fourth quarter of 2026.
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via Virtus Reaves Utilities ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UTES#NYSE">UTES</a>) and SPDR Select Sector Fund &#8211; Utilities (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLU#NYSE">XLU</a>).

With 17 days to Election Day, analysts are eyeing renewable energy companies as potential <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election">market movers post-election</a>.
JPMorgan&#8217;s Mark Strouse has his sights set on First Solar Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSLR#NASDAQ">FSLR</a>), NextEra Energy Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEE#NYSE">NEE</a>), and Enphase Energy Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENPH#NASDAQ">ENPH</a>). 
Depending on the outcome on Nov. 5, these companies could either ride a relief rally or face some uncertainty. Either way, there&#8217;s action on the horizon.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">&#8216;Knee-Jerk Relief Rally&#8217; For The Election Darlings?</h2>
Two potential election outcomes may drive an initial boost for renewable stocks, Strouse says. 
A &#8220;Democrat sweep or Trump/Harris win with a split Congress&#8221; could lead to a &#8220;knee-jerk relief rally&#8221; for renewables, particularly for companies like First Solar, NextEra and Enphase. Investors could breathe a sigh of relief, with the view that the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) will remain intact, ensuring strong tailwinds for these renewable giants.
For First Solar, in particular, a Donald Trump victory could be a blue-sky scenario. Strouse believes that &#8220;Mr. Trump could also implement incremental tariffs on imports, providing upside to FSLR pricing vs. international competitors.&#8221; Translation: if tariffs hit, First Solar stands to gain.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trump Victory With A Split Congress: First Solar's Dream Scenario?</h2>
A Trump win with a split Congress could be just what First Solar needs. The IRA would remain untouched and additional tariffs could give First Solar a pricing advantage over international competitors. For investors, this could mean a big upside for the stock in 2024.
With First Solar already flexing its muscles in the U.S. market, the possibility of incremental tariffs under a Trump administration could only add to its bullish trajectory. It's a stock to watch closely in the event of this political shake-up.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Renewables Stocks Like Sunrun, Sunnova Could Still Shine</h2>
Sunrun Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RUN#NASDAQ">RUN</a>) and Sunnova Energy International Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOVA#NYSE">NOVA</a>) are also poised to benefit from election outcomes. 
A split Congress could keep the IRA intact, benefiting both companies. Strouse also sees potential upside if Foreign Entity of Concern (FEOC) limits widen, as this would be another positive factor for U.S.-based renewable companies, especially those with a domestic content advantage.
However, a Republican sweep could shift the narrative, potentially delaying investor enthusiasm for stocks like Sunrun and Sunnova. 
Strouse acknowledges that investors may &#8220;await further policy clarity&#8221; before buying any post-election dips in these companies.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Republican Sweep: Uncertainty Lingers For Offshore Wind &amp; EV Charging Stocks</h2>
While Strouse remains largely optimistic about the core solar stocks, he warns that a Republican sweep could create more uncertainty for less mature markets like offshore wind and EV charging infrastructure. 
Stocks tied to these sectors could face headwinds as policy clarity may take longer to develop. But for the big players—First Solar, NextEra, and Enphase—the fundamentals look strong regardless of political outcomes.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Election Results Could Shake Up Renewable Stocks</h2>
As we approach election season, the future for renewable stocks like First Solar, NextEra, and Enphase looks bright, but also volatile. Strouse's analysis provides a clear roadmap for investors: keep an eye on the post-election reaction, especially if First Solar gets the perfect political storm in its favor.
The market's reaction may be swift, so buckle up and stay alert—these renewable energy leaders could see big moves after the election.
