NextEra Energy NEE
NextEra Energy is the world's largest renewable energy utility, operating Florida Power & Light (a regulated utility) and NextEra Energy Resources (wind, solar, and nuclear generation), benefiting from growing demand for clean electricity. NextEra Energy combines solid growth (revenue +12.4%, earnings +53.1%) with a highly leveraged balance sheet (Net Debt/EBITDA of 7.35) and a demanding valuation (EV/EBITDA of 18.98), making it vulnerable to rising rates, although AI data center electricity demand is a structural tailwind.

Context and risks
The sharp rise in 10-year yields (5.17%) is a drag on the valuation of long-duration utilities like NextEra, given its high leverage (Net Debt/EBITDA of 7.35) and capital-intensive business model. However, AI data center electricity demand and utility capex in grids (15% growth) are a structural tailwind for its regulated and renewable business.

Verdict: Hold; the long-term growth thesis is solid, but high leverage and rate sensitivity require patience and a more favorable entry point.
Main risk: Extreme leverage (Net Debt/EBITDA of 7.35) combined with rising 10-year Treasury yields, which makes refinancing its debt more expensive and pressures its long-duration valuation.
