That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the stock or simply that they're under-valued.

Nextera Energy stock dividends

Recently Nextera Energy has paid out, on average, around 100% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Nextera Energy shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Nextera Energy's case, that would currently equate to about $2.013 per share.

Nextera Energy's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.

Nextera Energy's most recent dividend payout was on 15 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 21 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

However, indirectly, the new 75% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Nextera Energy stocks, which in turn could have impacted Nextera Energy's stock price.
