NextEra Q2 Profit Rises, Expects Dividend Growth

NextEra Energy reported Q2 2025 net income of $2.03 billion ($0.98 per share), up from $1.62 billion a year earlier, and adjusted EPS of $1.05, beating analyst expectations. Revenue rose 10% to $6.7 billion but missed Wall Street forecasts, causing a dip in share price despite strong year-to-date performance. The company's renewables and storage backlog now totals about 30 GW, bolstered by record demand from AI, data centers, and tech customers. Florida Power & Light's net income increased to $1.28 billion, supported by investment and regulatory factors. NextEra reaffirmed its adjusted EPS guidance through 2027 and now expects dividends to grow at about 10% annually through at least 2026. The company remains optimistic about reaching the top end of its financial projections amid robust demand from technology sectors.
