Why It Ranks
The world's largest utility with best-in-class renewable energy assets. Regulated cash flows provide strong preferred dividend coverage. Clean energy exposure adds a growth dimension to the income stream.
Full Analysis
NextEra Energy is the world's largest utility company by market capitalization and the largest generator of wind and solar energy in the world. Its preferred stock offers income backed by one of the most predictable business models in corporate America — regulated utility earnings that are approved by state public utility commissions.
NextEra operates Florida Power & Light (the largest electric utility in Florida) and NextEra Energy Resources (the world's largest generator of renewable energy from wind, solar, and battery storage). This combination of regulated and contracted renewable energy cash flows provides strong, predictable earnings.
NEE preferreds are particularly attractive for investors who want utility-grade safety with exposure to the clean energy transition. NextEra has grown its dividend at approximately 10% per year for over a decade, and its preferred dividends are supported by the same robust cash flow generation.
