NextEra Energy Q2 2026: adjusted EPS up 9.5% to $1.15, beating consensus
NextEra Energy's adjusted profit rose 9.5% to $1.15 a share, beating the $1.1177 consensus, and the 2026 outlook was left intact. Revenue of $7.534 billion was 12.4% higher than a year ago. The catch: reported GAAP profit of $1.50 a share is flattered by hedging and fund gains that management strips out, so judge this quarter on the adjusted number and the repeated guidance.

Free preview belowGAAP earnings were $1.50 a share, but adjusted earnings — the number management calls the real one — were $1.15, up 9.5% and above the $1.1177 consensus. The $0.35 gap per share is mostly $0.30 of non-qualifying hedge gains plus $0.06 from nuclear decommissioning funds, partly offset by $0.01 of merger costs. Read the adjusted figure: the GAAP jump reflects swings in hedges and fund values, not better operations.
Revenue was $7.534 billion, up 12.4% from $6.700 billion a year earlier. NextEra Energy Resources did the heavy lifting at $2.532 billion, up 32.3%, while regulated utility FPL grew 4.0% to $4.896 billion after adding more than 90,000 customers year over year. The growth came from capital invested in the grid and from new contracted power, not from a one-off price move.
