NextEra Energy beats Q2 earnings expectations but misses revenue forecasts

NextEra Energy, Inc. (NYSE:NEE) reported second-quarter 2025 adjusted earnings of $1.05 per share on Wednesday, surpassing analyst estimates of $0.98 per share. However, revenue fell short, totaling $6.7 billion versus the consensus forecast of $7.29 billion.

Following the announcement, NextEra Energy shares were essentially flat, dipping just 0.05% in pre-market trading.

The company posted a 9.4% year-over-year increase in adjusted earnings per share, up from $0.96 in Q2 2024. Revenue grew to $6.7 billion from $6.07 billion in the same quarter last year.

Florida Power & Light (FPL), NextEra’s regulated utility subsidiary, reported net income of $1.275 billion, or $0.62 per share, compared to $1.232 billion, or $0.60 per share, a year earlier. FPL’s growth was mainly driven by ongoing business investments, with regulatory capital employed rising nearly 8% compared to the prior-year quarter.

NextEra Energy Resources, the company’s clean energy division, had a strong quarter in new renewables and storage projects, adding 3.2 gigawatts to its backlog, including over 1 gigawatt serving hyperscale customers. On an adjusted basis, this segment’s earnings were $1.091 billion, or $0.53 per share, up from $865 million, or $0.42 per share, in Q2 2024.

“NextEra Energy delivered strong second-quarter results with adjusted earnings per share increasing by 9.4% year-over-year,” said John Ketchum, chairman, president and CEO. “We believe we are well positioned to continue delivering for our customers and shareholders and will be disappointed if we are not able to deliver financial results at or near the top of our adjusted earnings per share expectations ranges in each year through 2027.”

The company maintained its long-term financial outlook, projecting 2025 adjusted EPS between $3.45 and $3.70. For 2026 and 2027, NextEra expects adjusted EPS ranges of $3.63 to $4.00 and $3.85 to $4.32, respectively.
