#2 - NextEra Energy (NYSE:NEE)
As the economy begins to reopen, it’s becoming clear that traditional fossil fuels aren’t going extinct anytime soon. In fact, the growth in oil stocks is proof that a “both/and” approach will be necessary. That’s the kind of optionality you’re investing in with NextEra Energy (NYSE: NEE).
NextEra is first and foremost a traditional utility company. It owns power plants fueled by natural gas, nuclear energy, and oil. And when it comes to utility companies, location matters. In the case of NextEra, it supplies power to 50% of the homes in Florida. That’s one reason it’s the largest electric utility in the United States.
However, NextEra has a portfolio of wind turbines and solar panels that make it the world’s largest generator of renewable energy.
Over the last five years, NEE stock has generated an impressive 161% gain. The stock stumbled a bit after a four-for-one stock split in October 2020. In fact, as late as June, the stock was negative for the year, but it is surging in the past 60 days and is now up 16% for the year.
