NextEra Energy: Massive Overvaluation Makes This Wonderful Company A Sell
Summary
- NextEra Energy is a wonderful company, it is executing very well, and has a bright future ahead. The stock, however, is miles in front of its own results.
- Negative returns are very likely going forward at the current price and valuation. Any stumble whatsoever from the company will be punished severely.
- A company growing earnings at a 9% rate and providing a 2% yield does not justify a 33 PE ratio. I see 30% downside before a reasonable level is reached.
I work in the financial and property management industry for a well known, publicly traded "mini Berkshire" Insurance company. I focus on portfolio structure, value, reasonably priced growth, tech and biotech spaces. I passed the series 6 and 7 exams at age 18 but do not at this time have active licenses.My passion for investing and personal finance education began at a very early age. I opened my first brokerage account at the age of 12 and have invested through crashes, crises, recessions and bubbles. I have made many mistakes in both my personal and investing lives, however, each mistake I have made has taught me valuable lessons on my journey, both in life and towards financial independence. As of March 2023, my total portfolio has compounded at 10.2% per year since 1993, beating the S&P 500's return of 9.87% over the same time period.
