Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about NextEra Energy stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "NextEra Energy's investment in renewable generation should boost its performance over the long haul. NextEra Energy also invests frequently in its natural gas operations. The company’s Mountain Valley Pipeline joint venture with EQT Corporation is currently in the approval process with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and commercial operations are expected to begin by the end of 2018. Favorable economic conditions in its service territories will drive demand for utility services. Thanks to the positive developments, the current rate of return from the company’s share is higher compared with the return from the broader industry in the last twelve months. On the flip side, NextEra Energy's nature of business is subject to complex and comprehensive federal, state and other regulations. Also volatile commodity price continues to impact the stock."

• 2. Mizuho analysts commented, "We met with NextEra's CFO John Ketchum, NEER President Armando Pimentel, and FPL CFO Bob Barrett in their offices last week. The tone of the meetings were constructive and NEE remains confident in its ability to deliver its earnings growth objectives, driven by above-average growth at the utility and continued renewables development at the NEER unit. NEE plans to host an investor day in the early summer with deep dive details on each business segment. Maintain Buy recommendation and raise target to $141 per share." (3/20/2017)
• 3. Morgan Stanley analysts commented, "Following the New Jersey’s 2011 exit from the RGGI carbon trading program, PSEG appears poised to revisit the subject of valuing carbon in the state, specifically support for existing nuclear. The company discussed efforts underway with a variety of key stakeholders to both potentially revisit joining RGGI in 2018 and/or establish a state- specific mechanism to ensure the existing portfolio remains intact through the long- term. In tandem, the exact shape of PJM’s nascent efforts appears to provide for premiums for more reliable assets such as nuclear units (beyond the existing capacity performance mechanism)." (8/1/2016)
