Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 14 days.
The thesis — published September 19, 2025
NEE looks like a steady utility that could rebound if interest rates calm down. The stock has slipped enough that a snap-back is realistic, and investor mood is improving. UBS just repeated a Buy with an $84 goal after solid results, which helps set a price floor. Plan to buy near $70-$71 once the price steadies, aiming for the high-$70s to $80, while keeping risks tight as the recent average price trend and project visibility improve.
Primary drivers
- Stock has fallen a lot; utility traits can cushion rough markets
- UBS repeated a Buy rating with an $84 target after recent news
- Large wind and solar projects lined up to drive future growth
- If interest rates ease after Fed moves, the stock can benefit
