Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 15 days.
The thesis — published September 28, 2025
NextEra mixes the steady nature of a utility with real growth potential. The company has lifted its dividend by 11% a year for 10 years, and recent research suggests about 22% room to rise. The price trend looks healthy, with improving momentum and a rising recent average price, but the stock feels a bit hot, so buying on dips is wiser. If rates fall, utilities and dividend income can draw more demand over the next few months.
Primary drivers
- Dividend has grown 11% a year for a decade, appealing to income seekers
- Positive trend and a rising recent average price suggest steady buyers
- Analysts estimate about 22% upside from recent reports
- If rates fall, utilities can gain and the dividend looks more attractive
