NextEra Energy’s Dividend Appeal Amid Market Swings
NextEra Energy (NEE) has become a focal point for income investors as its stock price hovers 20% below its 2022 peak. The current dividend yield of 3.1% outstrips both the S&P 500's 1.2% and the utility sector average of 2.7%, presenting a compelling entry point.
The company's dual business model—combining stable regulated utility operations with volatile clean energy projects—has amplified price swings. Market sentiment has shifted from euphoria to pessimism, creating what long-term investors may view as a valuation opportunity.
