NextEra Energy had $25.8B of revenue in fiscal 2025, up 9.8% on the year before. Over five years, revenue changed +8.7% a year on average.
Hi! I read NextEra Energy’s latest annual report (fiscal 2025). Here is what stands out:
Good So-so Weak
Are sales growing?
+9.8%
Yes. Sales grew 9.8% last year.
Does it make a profit?
26.5%
Yes. It keeps 26.5% of every sale as profit.
Is debt under control?
6.3x
Heavy. Repaying its debt would take 6.3 years of operating profit.
How healthy are the accounts?
5 / 8
Mixed. It passes 5 of 8 health tests.
How is the share priced?
20.9x
One share costs 20.9 times its yearly profit per share. Typical for its sector: 20.4x.
Rules of thumb on reported numbers. A starting point, not a recommendation.
About these figures. NextEra Energy tags its capital expenditure with its own label, which the SEC's structured data leaves out, so capital spending and free cash flow are left blank. Share counts and per-share figures for earlier years are restated for a stock split (4-for-1), so every year is on today's share basis.
Is it selling more, and how much does it keep?
In plain words: Every quarter, companies publish how much they sold and earned. These are the days NextEra Energy did it, and the next one. Share prices often move a lot on those days.

KIRA · NextEra Energy had $25.8B of revenue in fiscal 2025, up 9.8% on the year before. Over five years, revenue changed +8.7% a year on average. Its operating margin was 32.1%, up 0.3 pts: of every 100 in sales, about 32 is left after running the business.
In plain words: Revenue is all the money customers paid. The margins show how many cents of each dollar of sales are left over at each step: after making the product (gross), after running the business (operating) and after everything, tax included (net).

How much cash comes in, and where does it go?
Cash from operations minus capital spending.
In plain words: Profit on paper is not the same as cash in the bank. Free cash flow is the cash left after paying to run and maintain the business: the money it can hand back to shareholders, save or invest.

KIRA · NextEra Energy returned $4.7B to shareholders in fiscal 2025. The diluted share count rose 0.6%.
In plain words: Companies hand cash back in two ways: dividends (cash paid to shareholders) and buybacks (buying back their own shares, so each remaining share owns a bigger slice).

KIRA · In the last 12 months, insiders sold $31.1M of shares on the open market and bought none.
Open-market purchases and sales by officers, directors and 10% owners, from Form 4 filings. “Plan” marks trades under a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 plan.
In plain words: Insiders are the people who run or own a big part of the company. Buying with their own money can signal confidence; selling often has personal reasons, like taxes or diversifying.
