NextEra Energy: Drill, Baby, Drill Won't Stop This Investment-Grade Dividend Yield From Growth

NextEra Energy grew its renewables and storage backlog to just under 30 gigawatts as of the end of the second quarter, recently adding 3.2 gigawatts of new projects. The dividend is 185% covered by adjusted EPS, with management guiding for 6% to 8% annual EPS growth through 2027. Despite NEE's blue-chip dividend aristocrat status, the low dividend yield versus alternatives like CWEN and US Treasuries has kept me neutral.
