Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 21 days.
The thesis — published September 12, 2025
NextEra looks like a strong utility whose share price has fallen more than it probably should, creating a possible near-term entry. UBS kept its Buy rating and an $84 target. The company plans $5.5B in battery storage projects, which can make future growth more predictable. We aim for a modest 3-month rebound, but rate swings can hurt, so we prefer smaller, careful buys.
Primary drivers
- Share price looks overly beaten down, with buyers starting to return lately
- UBS still rates it a Buy and keeps an $84 target, backing the thesis
- $5.5B planned battery storage projects that can fuel steadier growth ahead
- Reliable utility model, but shares can move when interest rates change
