    ALEX: Welcome to Beta Finch, your AI-powered earnings breakdown! I'm Alex, here with Jordan, and today we're digging into NextEra Energy's third quarter 2026 results. This one's got hurricanes, hyperscalers, and a mega-merger all in one call, so let's get into it.

    Before we do, quick note: This podcast is AI-generated content for educational and entertainment purposes only. Nothing we discuss should be considered investment advice. Always do your own research and consult a qualified financial advisor before making any investment decisions.

    JORDAN: Lots to unpack here, Alex. This was a pretty dense call.

    ALEX: Let's start with the headline numbers. NextEra posted adjusted EPS growth of 9.7% year-over-year in Q3. Through nine months, they're running at 9.5% growth. That's strong, especially for a utility this size.

    JORDAN: And it's broad-based too. Florida Power & Light—their regulated utility—saw regulatory capital employed grow 9.2%. Meanwhile, NextEra Energy Resources, which is the competitive, contracted side of the business, grew adjusted earnings about 13%. So both engines are firing.

    ALEX: FPL's capex for the quarter was $2.4 billion, and they're on pace for about $12 billion for the full year. Return on equity for regulatory purposes is sitting around 11.8%.

    JORDAN: And management reaffirmed full-year guidance of $3.92 to $4.02 per share—but here's the interesting part—they said they're targeting the high end of that range, even with some expected weather headwinds.

    ALEX: Right, they flagged El Niño impacts on the wind portfolio in Q4, expecting generation at only 90-95% of the long-term average. But they're confident enough in everything else to still aim high.

    JORDAN: Before the financials, CEO John Ketchum spent real time on Hurricane Isaias, which hit Northwest Florida as a high-end Category 2 storm. FPL mobilized 17,000 workers from 29 states.

    ALEX: And the resilience stats were pretty striking—not a single hardened transmission or distribution pole failed. Underground lines performed 14 times better than overhead lines, and smart grid tech avoided roughly 140,000 outages.

    JORDAN: That's basically the business case for grid-hardening investment playing out in real time. It's not just a nice talking point—it's operational proof that those capital dollars are working, which matters a lot when you're asking regulators to approve more spending.

    ALEX: Now let's talk about the big growth driver—power demand from data centers and large industrial loads. NextEra now has over 20 gigawatts of large load projects in the pipeline, and more than 18 gigawatts of that is gas-fired generation.

    JORDAN: The really clever piece here is the "federal hubs" strategy. NextEra has signed deals to develop, build, and operate about 16.5 gigawatts of capacity across Texas and Pennsylvania—but they're not putting their own capital in. They earn fees instead.

    ALEX: So walk me through why that matters.

    JORDAN: It's capital-light growth. They get roughly 50% of the earnings they'd get if they owned the asset outright, but without the balance sheet risk. CFO Mike Dunne said the early fees are modest in 2026 and 2027, scaling up through 2032 as operations ramp. It's a clever way to monetize their development expertise without over-levering.

    ALEX: And on top of that, they raised Florida's large load target from 6 gigawatts to 8 gigawatts by 2032, with management saying they're confident about announcing an actual signed deal before year-end.

    JORDAN: They wouldn't give size specifics when analysts pushed on the call, but the confidence level was notably high.

    ALEX: Meanwhile, the renewables and storage backlog hit nearly 37 gigawatts, with 3.7 gigawatts added this quarter alone—that's four straight quarters above 3.5 gigawatts.

    JORDAN: Battery storage is really the star here—2.4 gigawatts added this quarter. And they're play

    Welcome to Beta Finch, your AI-powered earnings breakdown. Here's the script.

    ---

    **ALEX:** Welcome to Beta Finch, your AI-powered earnings breakdown. I'm Alex, joined as always by Jordan, and today we're digging into NextEra Energy's second quarter 2026 results. Before we get into it — this podcast is AI-generated content for educational and entertainment purposes only. Nothing we discuss should be considered investment advice. Always do your own research and consult a qualified financial advisor before making any investment decisions.

    **JORDAN:** And there's a lot to get into with this one, Alex. NextEra is one of the biggest utility and clean energy players in the country, and this quarter had everything — solid numbers, a huge pending merger, and a whole lot of data center talk.

    **ALEX:** Let's start with the headline numbers. Adjusted EPS came in at $1.15 for the quarter, and through the first six months of the year, adjusted EPS is up 9.8% year-over-year. Full-year guidance stayed right where it was — $3.92 to $4.02 a share — and management said they're targeting the high end of that range.

    **JORDAN:** What jumped out to me is how this growth is split across their two main engines. Florida Power & Light, the regulated utility, saw EPS grow thanks to about 9.3% growth in regulatory capital employed — basically the rate base they earn a return on. Meanwhile Energy Resources, their competitive, contracted generation business, posted adjusted earnings growth of roughly 18% year-over-year. That's the growth engine really firing.

    **ALEX:** And the customer growth story at FPL is wild — over 90,000 net new customers in the quarter versus a year ago. Florida's economy is now the 14th largest in the world, bigger than Australia's or Mexico's, according to them. And despite all that growth, they're touting bills that are about 30% below the national average.

    **JORDAN:** That affordability-while-growing pitch is really the core of NextEra's whole narrative right now, and it matters because it's also the exact pitch they're using to sell their proposed combination with Dominion Energy.

    **ALEX:** Right, let's talk about that — this is probably the biggest strategic story here. NextEra is moving forward with its merger with Dominion Energy. They filed for approval with Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina regulators on July 15th, plus FERC and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The SEC registration became effective the day before this call, and they're expecting shareholder votes from both companies in early September.

    **JORDAN:** And the numbers behind it are big. They're projecting the combined company would more than double in size by 2032, with about 11% annual growth in regulatory capital and 9%+ adjusted EPS growth through 2032, extending to 2035. They're also offering $2.25 billion in shareholder-funded bill credits to Dominion customers in Virginia, North and South Carolina — basically a sweetener to get regulators and communities on board.

    **ALEX:** CEO John Ketchum kept calling this "a merger of addition, not subtraction" — one plus one equals three, in his words. The plan is dual headquarters in Richmond and Juno Beach, plus an operational hub in Cayce, South Carolina, with a commitment to retain Dominion's local workforce. They expect the deal to close in the second half of 2027.

    **JORDAN:** Now let's get into what's really driving the excitement on this call — the data center and large load story. NextEra bumped up FPL's large load expectations from 6 gigawatts to 8 gigawatts by 2032. Every gigawatt under that tariff is roughly $2 billion of capital spend, earning the same return as their other regulated investments.

    **ALEX:** And they've got roughly 21 gigawatts of large load interest at FPL alone, with 12 gigawatts in advanced discussions. They reiterated they expect to announce at least one

    # Beta Finch Podcast Script - NextEra Energy (NEE) Q1 2026 Earnings

    ---

    **ALEX**: Welcome to Beta Finch, your AI-powered earnings breakdown where we decode quarterly results so you don't have to. I'm Alex, and joining me as always is Jordan. Today we're diving into NextEra Energy's Q1 2026 earnings - and wow, Jordan, this utility giant is really making some bold moves in the AI and data center space.

    **JORDAN**: Absolutely, Alex. Before we jump in though, I want to remind our listeners that this podcast is AI-generated content for educational and entertainment purposes only. Nothing we discuss should be considered investment advice. Always do your own research and consult a qualified financial advisor before making any investment decisions.

    **ALEX**: Thanks Jordan. So let's start with the numbers - NextEra posted adjusted earnings per share growth of 10% year-over-year, which is solid for a utility. But the real story here isn't just the financials, it's this massive pivot toward serving data centers and hyperscalers. Jordan, what caught your attention first?

    **JORDAN**: What jumped out at me was the sheer scale of opportunity they're talking about. Alex, they mentioned 21 gigawatts of large-load interest at their Florida Power & Light subsidiary alone - that's enormous. To put that in perspective, they're in advanced discussions on about 12 gigawatts of that, which could start being served as soon as 2028. And here's the kicker - every gigawatt under their approved tariff represents roughly $2 billion in capital expenditures.

    **ALEX**: That's massive capital deployment potential. But what really struck me was this U.S.-Japan deal they announced. Can you break that down for listeners?

    **JORDAN**: This is fascinating, Alex. The U.S. Department of Commerce selected NextEra to build 9.5 gigawatts of new gas-fired generation - one project in Texas, one in Pennsylvania - connected to Japan's $550 billion investment commitment to the United States. But here's what makes it brilliant: it's essentially a capital-light model for NextEra. The U.S. and Japan would own the projects while NextEra develops, builds, and operates them.

    **ALEX**: So they get the fees without the massive capital outlay risk. That's smart positioning. Speaking of positioning, their CEO John Ketchum kept emphasizing this "bring your own generation" or BYOG model. What's that about?

    **JORDAN**: This is NextEra's answer to a major political and economic challenge, Alex. Essentially, when hyperscalers like Google or Microsoft want massive amounts of power for their data centers, NextEra builds the infrastructure specifically for them - and they pay for it. Regular consumers don't subsidize these massive power needs through their electric bills. It's politically savvy and economically sound.

    **ALEX**: And they're not just talking about traditional power generation. They mentioned this collaboration with NVIDIA that sounds almost futuristic.

    **JORDAN**: Right! They're essentially treating data centers like giant batteries. The idea is that during extreme weather - think hot summer days or cold winter snaps when power demand spikes - they could temporarily reduce or shift data center computing activity. That freed-up power could then serve regular customers when electricity is scarce and expensive. It's a really innovative approach to grid management.

    **ALEX**: Let's talk about their AI initiative called "Rewire." This seems like a utility company trying to become a tech company.

    **JORDAN**: It's ambitious, Alex. They're partnering with Google Cloud to develop AI tools for the entire utility industry. They mentioned products like "Conduit" which uses AI to make their renewables workforce more efficient, and "Grid Composer" which optimizes power generation decisions in real-time. The goal is to drive costs even lower - they're already 30% below the national average in Florida.

    **ALEX**: The scale of their renewable energy business is also impressive. They
