NextEra Energy stock (ISIN US65339F1012) closed at USD 80.47 on September 19, 2026, down 1.00 percent. The utility group booked USD 27.4 billion in revenue in 2025 and USD 7.7 billion in adjusted earnings, while its market value stood at about USD 167.9 billion on September 20, 2026.

Merger talks stay central

According to Yahoo Finance on September 19, 2026, NextEra Energy and Dominion Energy entered a definitive all-stock transaction valued at approximately USD 67 billion. The article says Dominion shareholders would receive 0.8138 NextEra shares plus USD 360 million in aggregate cash at closing.

The size of that deal keeps the stock tied to execution risk as well as valuation. It also gives investors a concrete benchmark: the proposed combination would create the world's largest regulated electric utility business if approved.

Revenue and earnings base

For 2025, NextEra Energy reported USD 27.4 billion in revenue and USD 7.7 billion in adjusted earnings, figures highlighted in a September 19, 2026 market analysis on The Motley Fool. That same analysis said Berkshire Hathaway's energy holdings produced USD 11.2 billion in first-half 2026 revenue, a reminder of how scale still matters in the utility and power mix.

For investors, the key comparison is simple: 2025 revenue of USD 27.4 billion and adjusted earnings of USD 7.7 billion leave the company large enough to absorb a USD 67 billion merger story without losing its core earnings base.
