NextEra Energy (NYSE: NEE) shares moved higher in after-hours trading on Friday, gaining around 1.1% after the utility giant reaffirmed its long-term financial guidance ahead of upcoming investor meetings. The update reassured investors about the company’s earnings stability, growth strategy, and dividend outlook, reinforcing confidence in one of the largest renewable-focused utility companies in the United States.
The Florida-based energy provider confirmed that its financial projections remain unchanged. NextEra Energy expects adjusted earnings per share (EPS) to fall within a range of $3.62 to $3.70 for 2025, followed by projected adjusted EPS between $3.92 and $4.02 for 2026. These estimates reflect the company’s continued focus on steady earnings expansion supported by regulated utility operations and renewable energy investments.
In addition to near-term guidance, NextEra reiterated its commitment to long-term growth. The company continues to target compound annual growth in adjusted EPS of at least 8% through 2032, using the 2025 earnings range as a baseline. It also maintained its longer-term goal of achieving at least 8% adjusted EPS growth through 2035, further underscoring management’s confidence in its business model and capital deployment strategy.
NextEra Energy also reaffirmed its dividend growth outlook, an important factor for income-focused investors. The company projects approximately 10% annual dividend growth through 2026 based on a 2024 base. Looking further ahead, NextEra expects dividend growth of roughly 6% per year for 2027 and 2028, measured from a 2026 base, while noting that all dividend payments remain subject to approval by its board of directors.
The company emphasized that its projections are based on several assumptions, including normal weather patterns, stable operating conditions, positive U.S. and Florida economic trends, supportive commodity markets, and continued policy backing for renewable energy development. Additional assumptions include consistent rate case outcomes and the absence of unfavorable litigation or regulatory changes, all of which play a role in supporting NextEra Energy’s long-term growth outlook.
