NextEra Energy forecasts 7% earnings growth and higher dividends by 2027
NextEra Energy has announced strong financial forecasts for the coming years. The company expects earnings per share to rise by over 7 percent in 2025, with steady growth projected through 2027. Shareholders will also see higher returns, as dividends are set to increase by 10 percent annually until at least 2026.
Despite a recent share sale by its CEO, the firm remains a major player in renewable energy with stable earnings and growing investor confidence.
NextEra Energy outlined its financial plans with a focus on consistent growth. For 2025, the company predicts earnings per share between $3.45 and $3.70, marking a rise of more than 7 percent from current figures. Annual earnings growth is expected to continue at 6 to 8 percent through 2027.
Dividends will also climb, with a 10 percent yearly increase planned until at least 2026. Currently, shareholders receive a quarterly payout of $0.5665 per share, resulting in an annual yield of 2.7 percent.
In November 2023, CEO Armando Pimentel Jr. sold 145,140 shares at an average price of $83.91, totalling over $12 million. This sale cut his personal holdings by 47 percent but was part of a pre-approved diversification plan. The move did not affect the company’s earnings outlook or long-term growth in renewable energy.
Investor confidence in NextEra Energy remains high. AlphaCore Capital boosted its stake by 37.8 percent, while Boston Research & Management increased its position by 2.9 percent in the second quarter. Charles Schwab Investment Management holds over 16 million shares, valued at more than $1 billion.
NextEra Energy’s financial outlook stays positive, with steady earnings growth and rising dividends. The CEO’s share sale was planned and did not impact the company’s performance. Major investors continue to expand their holdings, reinforcing confidence in the firm’s future in renewable energy.
