NextEra Energy Inc. faces significant business risks due to its heavy reliance on government policies that promote clean energy. These policies, which include tax incentives and feed-in tariffs, are crucial for the economic viability of the clean energy projects that NEE and its subsidiaries, NEER and FPL, develop. However, potential changes in these governmental incentives or the introduction of additional costs could lead to reduced project returns or even project abandonment, thereby adversely affecting NEE’s business, financial condition, and future prospects. The uncertainty surrounding these policy frameworks poses a substantial risk to the company’s operations and strategic goals.

Overall, Wall Street has a Moderate Buy consensus rating on NEE stock based on 10 Buys and 6 Holds.
