미국 증시는 월요일(31일) 혼조세를 보인 후 미국 지수 선물은 화요일(1일)에 상승과 하락 사이를 오갔다. 주요 벤치마크 지수 선물은 개장 전 거래에서 혼조세를 보였다.
도널드 트럼프 대통령이 상호관세 부과일인 4월 2일을 ‘해방의 날’로 지칭하는 움직임이 주가 하락에 영향을 미쳤다. S&amp;P 500 지수는 2025년 1분기 4.59% 하락한 반면, 나스닥 100 지수는 10% 이상 하락했다.

Ecopetrol S.A. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EC#NYSE">EC</a>) announced Wednesday that it had signed an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/n45539230/ecopetrol-s-a-signs-an-agreement-to-acquire-a-portfolio-of-up-to-1-300-megawats-of-solar-and-wind-" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">agreement to potentially acquire</a> a large-scale wind and solar energy portfolio in Colombia from Statkraft, reinforcing its commitment to renewable energy expansion.
Signed on May 20, the deal covers assets totaling up to 1.3 gigawatts in capacity, currently owned by Statkraft&#8217;s subsidiaries Enerfín Sociedad de Energía S.L.U. and Enerfin Enervento Exterior S.L. The projects are spread across the Colombian departments of La Guajira, Sucre, Córdoba, Caldas, and Magdalena.
The portfolio includes six entities managing 614 megawatts of solar capacity and three others overseeing 750 megawatts of wind energy. If finalized, the acquisition would significantly advance Ecopetrol&#8217;s goal of reaching 900 MW of renewable self-generation capacity by 2025.

Beyond boosting clean energy output, the initiative is expected to supply low-emission power for Ecopetrol&#8217;s internal operations, helping the company reduce reliance on volatile spot electricity markets. It also aligns with the firm&#8217;s 2040 strategy to diversify its energy sources and lower overall emissions.

Colombia's Ecopetrol Eyes 1.3 GW Renewable Push With Statkraft Agreement

The security of publicly traded U.S. solar companies is in focus as Chinese communication devices were found in critical renewable energy infrastructure, particularly power inverters.
What Happened: These devices, discovered during security checks of equipment, bypass typical firewall protections despite remote access capabilities being standard for updates and maintenance, reported Reuters.
Communication devices have been found in the batteries of several Chinese suppliers over the last nine months, as per the report.
The U.S. Department of Energy said that while these features and functionality &#8220;may not have malicious intent, it is critical for those procuring to have a full understanding of the capabilities of the products received.&#8221;
Some U.S.-based solar companies that could be in focus by the presence of undocumented devices in their supply include the following.

The six Chinese companies targeted included Contemporary Amperex Technology Company, BYD Company, Envision Energy, EVE Energy Company, Hithium Energy Storage Technology Company, and Gotion High-tech Company.

NextEra Energy's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEE#NYSE">NEE</a>) short percent of float has fallen 9.5% since its last report.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for NextEra Energy has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing NextEra Energy's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, NextEra Energy's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.49%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

In total, that's more than 50 different stocks bought and disclosed by Greene in the latest filing. Based on the purchase range of $1,001 to $15,000, this would make the transaction range over $50,000 and up to more than $800,000.

Why It's Important: Members of Congress are allowed to buy and sell stocks as long as they properly disclose the transaction.
The process has drawn scrutiny from the public and retail investors as members of Congress could have inside information and time their trades accordingly. Committee assignments in particular, often draw red flags from investors.
Greene serves on the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability and the House Committee on Homeland Security with several subcommittee appointments. The congresswoman's past trade in technology and cybersecurity stocks has drawn attention with her role within Homeland Security.
Greene&#8217;s past trades of Palantir Technologies and a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44255172/marjorie-taylor-greene-buys-more-bitcoin-etf-shares-ahead-of-trumps-strategic-reserve-executive-order"> Bitcoin ETF </a>have drawn criticism along with the timing of her trades, as she is a close ally to President Donald Trump. 
When asked previously about buying stocks earlier this year that soared days later after Trump announced a pause to tariffs, Greene<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/04/44852406/marjorie-taylor-greene-brushes-off-stock-buying-criticism-says-portfolio-manager-bought-the-dip"> brushed aside the criticism.</a>
&#8220;I think that criticism is laughable. President Trump has been talking about tariffs for decades,&#8221; Greene told reporters when asked about the trades at a recent town hall event in Georgia in a clip <a href="https://x.com/unusual_whales/status/1912456434081480777" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">shared </a>by Unusual Whales. The congresswoman used the opportunity to boast about her stock performance, which ranked her as one of the top trading members of Congress in 2024.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t place my buys and sells," Greene said, citing an agreement she has with her portfolio manager, who handles all the buying and selling of stocks. &#8220;He did a great job. Guess what he did. He bought the dip. And that&#8217;s what anybody that has financial sense does."
Greene also said her portfolio manager did not have inside information, everything was public and a potential tariff pause wasn&#8217;t a secret.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) has reintroduced legislation that would ban members of Congress from trading or holding individual stocks.
The bill is known as the Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments Act, or PELOSI Act based on the first letter of each of the main words. The name takes aim at the congresswoman and former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).  
&#8220;Members of Congress should be fighting for the people they were elected to serve — not day trading at the expense of their constituents,&#8221; Hawley&nbsp;<a href="https://www.hawley.senate.gov/hawley-reintroduces-pelosi-act-to-ban-congress-from-trading-stocks/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a>. &#8220;Americans have seen politician after politician turn a profit using information not available to the general public.&#8221;
Hawley said the bill will help &#8220;restore Americans&#8217; trust in our nation&#8217;s legislative body.&#8221;
Hawley&#8217;s bill is being reintroduced as President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;<a href="https://time.com/7280114/donald-trump-2025-interview-transcript/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said&nbsp;</a>he would support such a ban.
&#8220;Well, I watched Nancy Pelosi get rich through insider information, and I would be okay with it. If they send it to me, I would do it,&#8221; Trump told TIME.
Trump said he would sign the ban if the bill passes Congress.
While Pelosi makes headlines for her trades, it&#8217;s important to remember that<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/04/44852406/marjorie-taylor-greene-brushes-off-stock-buying-criticism-says-portfolio-manager-bought-the-dip" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;it is both Republican</a>&nbsp;and Democratic members of Congress who are profiting from buying and selling stocks and options while in office, with some trades coming with questionable timing or having a connection to committees they serve on.
In 2024, a list of the top-performing traders in Congress included six Republicans and four Democrats.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Goes Stock Shopping Again: Here Are 50+ Stocks The Congresswoman Bought

Barclays analyst Betty Jiang maintains NextEra Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEE#NYSE">NEE</a>) with a Equal-Weight and lowers the price target from $73 to $65.

Price Target

Barclays Maintains Equal-Weight on NextEra Energy, Lowers Price Target to $65

Goldman Sachs analyst Carly Davenport reiterated a Buy rating for NextEra Energy, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEE#NYSE">NEE</a>) with a price forecast of $91 following the company&#8217;s first-quarter <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NEE/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">results reported on Wednesday</a>.
The company reported adjusted EPS of $0.99, which exceeded the consensus estimate of $0.97. Meanwhile, sales reached $6.25 billion, falling short <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/n44945802/nextera-energy-first-quarter-2025-financial-results-available-on-companys-website" rel="noreferrer noopener">of the $6.80 billion estimate</a>.
The company reaffirmed its adjusted EPS guidance at $3.45-$3.70 for 2025, (vs. analyst estimate of $3.67), $3.63-$4.00 for 2026 (vs. the $3.97 consensus estimate) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">and $3.85-$4.32 for 2027</a>.

The analyst writes that the most encouraging aspect of NextEra Energy&#8217;s call was the discussion surrounding its limited tariff exposure, which was a key concern for investors.
The company highlighted a domestic contract for battery storage supply, an area typically reliant on China, and indicated less than $150 million in tariff exposure at NextEra Energy Resources (NEER) within its $75 billion capital investment program through 2028, adds the analyst.
Given that policy uncertainty remains a key overhang, Davenport believes the commentary on minimal tariff exposure should ease investor concerns, although the future of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) remains a point of discussion.
The analyst updated their NextEra Energy model to reflect quarterly results, expense adjustments and revised FPL ROEs and tax rates.
Consequently, the analyst now sees EPS estimates of $3.72/$4.06/$4.50 for 2025-2027 (vs. $3.69/$4.04/$4.49 prior).
Price Action: NEE shares are down 1.11% at $66.62 at the last check Thursday.

Risk-on sentiment dominated Wall Street on Wednesday, as upbeat earnings reports and conciliatory messages from the Trump administration h<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">elped lift investor confidence.</a>
The administration eased market fears on two major fronts that have recently weighed heavily on sentiment. On the trade front, tensions with China appeared to thaw, with reports suggesting the White House is considering reducing tariffs on certain categories of goods.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent added fuel to the rally, stating U.S.-China tariffs are unsustainable and will likely need to be lowered to facilitate meaningful negotiations.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump offered an abrupt shift in tone toward Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, saying he has no intention to fire him, a remark that helped calm concerns over political interference in monetary policy.
By midday in New York, the S&amp;P 500 was up by nearly 2%, though it had earlier climbed even higher. The Nasdaq 100 outperformed with a 2.5% gain, driven by strength in Magnificent Seven stocks.
Trump's pivot on Powell pushed Treasury yields lower across the curve, with the 30-year yield falling five basis points to 4.83%, after briefly topping 4.90% the previous day.
On the macro front, flash Purchasing Managers&#8217; Index surveys revealed slowing growth momentum in the U.S. economy, as the services sector decelerated sharply following the impact <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44952395/us-business-activity-growth-slows-in-april-as-services-suffer-tariff-shock-markets-rally-as-trade-war-cools">of recent tariff shocks.</a>
The U.S. dollar strengthened, while gold plunged 2.6%, heading for its worst session since November.
Oil prices dropped more than 2% following speculation that OPEC+ may announce a new output hike as early as next month.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) held steady around $93,000.

Examining the Future: NextEra Energy's Earnings Outlook

The U.S. Energy Department (DoE) is reportedly contemplating substantial reductions, potentially halting&nbsp;nearly $10 billion in federal&nbsp;funding for clean-energy projects. This move could jeopardize high-profile collaborations with&nbsp;Exxon Mobil (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>)&nbsp;and&nbsp;Occidental Petroleum (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OXY#NYSE">OXY</a>).
What Happened: The proposed cuts could disrupt contracts with energy companies involved in&nbsp;hydrogen, carbon capture, long-duration energy&nbsp;storage, and other technologies, The Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/doge-comes-for-clean-energy-putting-exxon-and-occidental-projects-at-risk-565bd42f">reported</a>. These reductions are a part of President Donald Trump's broader initiative through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to reduce the size and cost of government, and could result in thousands of job losses at the Department of Energy (DOE), according to the report. 
DOGE&#8217;s&nbsp;efforts, overseen by Trump advisor Elon Musk, have already resulted in significant contract reductions and&nbsp;job cuts across the federal&nbsp;workforce. The $10 billion figure represents&nbsp;potential funding slashes in two&nbsp;DOE offices and a portion of the DOGE-driven cancellations being considered across the Energy Department.
Several key partnerships are at risk, including projects with Exxon, NextEra Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEE#NYSE">NEE</a>), and Occidental Petroleum, as the DOE considers cutting support. Additionally, funding for four regional hydrogen hubs—mainly in Democratic-leaning areas—is also under review.
DOE did not respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment.

Why It Matters: The proposed cuts follow President Trump&#8217;s earlier move to freeze billions in federal funding, affecting projects in clean energy, conservation, and transportation across the United States. This move&nbsp;in February has created <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43628767/trump-freezes-billions-in-federal-funding-jobs-and-projects-in-clean-energy-conservation-and-transportation-left-in-limbo">uncertainty </a>for thousands of workers and local economies.
Moreover, in April 2025, Trump unveiled plans to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44701436/trump-unleashes-beautiful-clean-coal-policies-as-wall-street-tanks-sp-500-hits-1-year-low">revive U.S. coal production</a>, marking a dramatic policy reversal from the climate-focused agendas of the Biden and Obama administrations. This shift in policy and the proposed funding cuts could significantly impact the clean energy sector and its stakeholders.
Meanwhile, DOGE has drawn severe criticism for its mass firings. Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44484549/mark-cuban-on-doge-government-cuts-this-isnt-a-corporate-turnaround-this-is-the-united-states-of-america">warned </a>that abruptly cutting federal programs, agencies, and jobs without considering the economic impact could harm local economies. He noted that in some cities, up to 9% of the workforce depends on government jobs, and sudden cuts could lead to job losses, falling home values, and economic decline.
iShares Global Clean Energy UCITS ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ICLN#NASDAQ">ICLN</a>) and Invesco Solar ETF&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAN#NYSE">TAN</a>) climbed 1.77% and 1.19%, respectively, on Thursday.
While shares of Occidental Petroleum and Exxon Mobil rose 3.28% and 2.62%, respectively, during the same period.
