NextEra Energy, Inc. (NYSE:NEE) is included among the 13 Best Electrical Infrastructure Stocks to Buy in 2026.

With a market cap of almost $181 billion as of the writing of this article, NextEra Energy, Inc. (NYSE:NEE) is the most valuable utility company in the world. The company boasts a diverse mix of energy sources, including natural gas, nuclear, renewable energy, and battery storage.

On June 17, Bernstein launched coverage of NextEra Energy, Inc. (NYSE:NEE) with an ‘Outperform’ rating and a price target of $107, implying an upside of over 23% from the current levels.

Bernstein believes that NextEra Energy, Inc. (NYSE:NEE)’s relative underperformance, despite its “solid fundamentals”, is largely due to concerns surrounding the XPLR Infrastructure situation and the utility’s recent announcement to acquire Dominion Energy. However, the firm argued that much of this negative sentiment has already been priced into the stock’s valuation, leaving meaningful upside potential for investors.

Nextera announced last month that it plans to acquire Dominion Energy in a $66.8 billion deal that ​will form one of the largest regulated electric utilities in the world. The combined company will be at the top in the US in total generation, generation built, annual CapEx, rate base, and market capitalization.
