Strongest pillar: Profitability · Weakest: Solvency

NextEra Energy (NEE) scores 5.9 out of 10 as of September 11, 2026, computed from its reported financial statements. That reads as solid quality. The reading rests on profitability, and solvency is what holds it back.

One pillar, efficiency, is unscored because the filings behind it carry too little to judge. It is shown as a dash rather than a zero, and the overall score is the weighted average of what could be scored.

Why quality is the interesting question for NextEra Energy

A regulated utility earns an allowed return on its asset base, which makes profitability a policy outcome as much as a management one and predictability close to guaranteed. Growth comes from building, and building is debt-funded, so solvency is the pillar carrying the risk. The score is a compact way of asking whether the renewables arm is worth the leverage.

How this score is calculated

Each metric is scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks, where higher is better. Metrics roll up into five pillars, and the pillars combine into the overall score using the weights shown. Sector-sensitive metrics are judged relative to peers in the same sector.

Limitations

This score is a systematic, backward-looking read of reported fundamentals. It does not judge valuation, management quality, competitive moat, or future prospects, and can be distorted by one-off items or unusual accounting. Treat it as a starting point, not a recommendation.

FAQ

Is NextEra Energy a quality business?

On this reading NextEra Energy scores 5.9 out of 10, which reads as solid quality. Its strongest pillar is profitability, its weakest is solvency. Quality is not the same as a good investment: the score says nothing about the price you would pay.

What does the NEE quality score measure?

Five pillars, each scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks and then weighted into one overall reading: profitability, solvency, growth, efficiency and predictability. Everything comes from reported financials, and nothing comes from price, sentiment or forecasts.

How current is this score?

It was last recomputed on September 11, 2026. The score moves with the financial statements, i.e. quarterly, so this page changes when a new filing changes the answer rather than on a schedule. Live figures for NEE are in the app.

Does a high score mean the stock is cheap?

No. Quality and valuation are separate questions, and a good business at the wrong price is still a bad purchase. Score the business here, then price it with a DCF you control.
