The company recently reported that it has 34.21 million shares sold short, which is 1.67% of all regular shares that are available for trading.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, NextEra Energy's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.09%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Looking Into NextEra Energy's Recent Short Interest

The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/esg">ESG investing space</a> had its ups and downs in 2024. Sustainable assets saw a 7% increase in AUM to $3.2 billion.
While the year has been challenging for ESG equity funds, particularly with underperformance in the first half, JPMorgan analysts are looking to 2025 with optimism. 
Among the most promising picks are bonds from major renewable energy players. These bonds are poised to benefit from tax credits, policy shifts, and growing demand for clean energy:
<ul>
<li>NextEra Energy Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEE#NYSE">NEE</a>) – $5.25% 03/15/34 Bond (Z-spread 132bp): As one of the largest developers of renewable energy in the US, NextEra Energy continues to be a top pick for investors focused on ESG. The company remains exposed to fluctuations in renewable tax credits and financing, but with strong customer demand and state carbon targets, its long-term prospects are solid. This bond offers a potential upside as NextEra continues to expand its solar and wind portfolios.</li>
<li>The AES Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AES#NYSE">AES</a>) – $2.45% 01/15/31 Green Bond (Z-spread 168bp): AES is another key player in the renewable energy space, benefiting from a large backlog of utility-scale projects. The company is positioned to capitalize on renewable PTCs, ITCs, and tax equity financing. With data center offtakers less sensitive to price hikes and interest rates, AES is well-positioned to navigate potential policy changes and remain a solid investment for ESG-focused bondholders.</li>
<li>Constellation Energy Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CEG#NASDAQ">CEG</a>) – $5.75% 03/15/54 Green Bond (Z-spread 190bp): As a leader in nuclear energy, Constellation Energy is supported by strong power fundamentals and firm nuclear sentiment across both sides of the legislature. With continued demand for reliable power and a growing market for data centers, Constellation is poised to benefit from its nuclear and renewable energy mix. This bond stands out as an attractive option for ESG investors looking for stable returns in the energy sector.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ESG Bonds Set To Shine In 2025</h2>
JPMorgan's ESG bond picks for 2025 focus on companies in the renewable energy and utilities sectors. These bonds are positioned to benefit from strong macroeconomic support and evolving policies favoring clean energy.
With growing demand for green energy and stable regulatory environments, bonds from NextEra, AES, and Constellation Energy are likely to be top picks for ESG-focused investors looking for solid returns in the coming year.

NextEra, AES, Constellation: JPMorgan's Top ESG Bond Picks For 2025

In the current market session, NextEra Energy Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEE#NYSE">NEE</a>) stock price is at $78.41, after a 0.14% decrease. However, over the past month, the company's stock increased by 1.37%, and in the past year, by 33.65%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is not performing up to par in the current session. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1732892466_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Comparing NextEra Energy P/E Against Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of 19.21 in the Electric Utilities industry, NextEra Energy Inc. has a higher P/E ratio of 23.3. Shareholders might be inclined to think that NextEra Energy Inc. might perform better than its industry group. It's also possible that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1732892467_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Renewable energy stocks present a buying opportunity despite recent electoral headwinds, according to UBS analysts, while Tesla Inc.

What Happened: UBS analysts on Thursday elevated U.S. and EU renewables to their top-ranking stock theme, citing an attractive entry point following steep post-election losses, <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/renewable-energy-stocks-election-trump-power-demand-data-centers-ubs-2024-11">reported</a> Business Insider. 
The announcement comes as clean energy shares have tumbled, with companies like Plug Power Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLUG#NASDAQ">PLUG</a>) and Enphase Energy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENPH#NASDAQ">ENPH</a>) down over 24% since President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s victory.
&#8220;The environment of an unrelenting power demand shock puts just about every source of power generation in a solid position to capitalize,&#8221; UBS analysts wrote, pointing to surging power needs from artificial intelligence data centers and corporate sustainability goals.
The analysts remain optimistic despite Trump&#8217;s expected scaling back of President Joe Biden-era clean energy initiatives. They argue that companies could &#8220;grandfather&#8221; existing subsidies and that state-level emission goals will sustain industry growth.

The renewable sector&#8217;s growth potential is further supported by expanding applications, including Musk&#8217;s recent suggestion that SpaceX&#8217;s Starlink satellite network could integrate <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41648885/spacex-ceo-elon-musk-agrees-that-starlink-could-combine-hardware-with-solar-panels-and-batteries">solar panels and batteries into its hardware offering</a>.

$1000 Invested In NextEra Energy 20 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Looking into the current session, NextEra Energy Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEE#NYSE">NEE</a>) shares are trading at $79.50, after a 4.07% decrease. Over the past month, the stock decreased by 6.70%, but over the past year, it actually increased by 36.16%. With questionable short-term performance like this, and great long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1730235187_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>How Does NextEra Energy P/E Compare to Other Companies?</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
NextEra Energy has a better P/E ratio of 24.59 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 19.25 of the Electric Utilities industry. Ideally, one might believe that NextEra Energy Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1730235187_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Price Over Earnings Overview: NextEra Energy

NextEra Energy's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEE#NYSE">NEE</a>) short percent of float has fallen 18.56% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 27.99 million shares sold short, which is 1.36% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.03 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1730209513_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for NextEra Energy has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing NextEra Energy's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, NextEra Energy's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.00%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

NextEra Energy  Intends To Sell $1.5B Of Equity Units

Barclays analyst Betty Jiang maintains NextEra Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEE#NYSE">NEE</a>) with a Equal-Weight and raises the price target from $80 to $82.

Barclays Maintains Equal-Weight on NextEra Energy, Raises Price Target to $82

Goldman Sachs analyst Carly Davenport raised the price target for NextEra Energy, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEE#NYSE">NEE</a>) to $92 (from $86) and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/nee/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">reiterated the Buy rating</a>.
Recently, the company reported third-quarter adjusted EPS of $1.03 exceeded the estimate of $0.98, while sales of $7.567 billion fell short of the $<a target="_blank" href="https://www.investor.nexteraenergy.com/~/media/Files/N/NEE-IR/news-and-events/events-and-presentations/2024/10-23-24/2024-1023%20NEEQ32024News%20Release%20vFinal.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">8.054 </a>billion estimate.
The analyst says the quarter underscored strong demand for renewables amid growing power needs, showcasing NEE&#8217;s competitive advantages as a developer to capitalize on this trend.
While the analyst remains optimistic about NEE&#8217;s potential to expand its renewables capacity in the coming years, they also see opportunities to incorporate nuclear (through Duane Arnold) and gas to meet increasing power demand from a diverse range of industries, not just tech companies.
Davenport anticipates this will support earnings growth exceeding the company&#8217;s current guidance of 6%-8%, with projected EPS growth averaging 10% from 2024 to 2027.
The analyst sees strong near- and medium-term demand for renewable power, driven by growth in sectors beyond technology and AI.
Davenport says that the company is well-positioned to meet its renewable development targets, needing to add just 1.7 GW per quarter to reach the midpoint of its range, compared to around 3 GW in the previous two quarters.
The analyst maintains a positive outlook on the company&#8217;s backlog additions, anticipating the development of approximately 44 GW of renewables from 2024 to 2027, compared to guidance of 36.5-45.5 GW.
To hit the midpoint of this range, the analyst estimates that NEE needs to add 1.7 GW per quarter, assuming no further backlog additions occur after the fourth quarter of 2026.
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via Virtus Reaves Utilities ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UTES#NYSE">UTES</a>) and SPDR Select Sector Fund &#8211; Utilities (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLU#NYSE">XLU</a>).

Spire: Higher Leverage Than Peers, Which Could Pose A Risk

With rising awareness among enterprises, investors, and government bodies on requirements of environment-friendly and sustainable practices, ESG practices are expected to broaden in scope and scale. Given this background, fundamentally sound ESG stocks Salesforce (CRM), Adobe (ADBE), and NextEra Energy (NEE) could be ideal buys for potential gains this month. Read more... Investors are realigning their attention, from looking only at highly profitable companies to invest in, to now also focusing on the impacts of the organization's operations on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors. This has resulted in the growing adoption of ESG principles and the reforming of regulatory requirements.
Considering this backdrop, environmentally conscious investors could consider investing in quality ESG-led stocks: Salesforce, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/CRM/">CRM</a>), Adobe Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/ADBE/">ADBE</a>), and NextEra Energy, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/NEE/">NEE</a>) to optimize their portfolio.
ESG-compliant companies are gaining more and more attention as they emphasize mapping their operational activities towards reducing environmental pollution and carbon footprint, increasing customer engagement, working towards employee benefit plans, and upkeep with governance requirements.
ESG criteria help in understanding how an organization is conducting itself and integrating environmental, ethical, and sustainable practices. Evolution in the segment can be observed through the recent regulatory developments and changing investing choices.
According to the Investment Company Institute's monthly surveys, the combined assets of <a href="https://www.ici.org/research/stats/esg_investing">mutual funds and ETFs invested</a> according to ESG criteria was $573.26 billion in October. Under this, broad ESG focus was $241.48 billion, and environmental focus investing was $58.69 billion for the month.
Further, Bloomberg expects global ESG assets to <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/company/press/global-esg-assets-predicted-to-hit-40-trillion-by-2030-despite-challenging-environment-forecasts-bloomberg-intelligence/">surpass the $40 trillion mark</a> by the year 2030, which is over 25% of the projected $140 trillion assets under management (AUM). Aspects like enhanced scrutiny and stringent regulations will propel ESG adoption worldwide along with rising awareness and improving responsibility and accountability among companies.
Given the changing environment and concerns, investing in quality ESG stocks CRM, ADBE, and NEE could be wise in December.
Let's discuss the fundamentals of these stocks in detail:
