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.

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.

Wells Fargo Maintains Overweight on NextEra Energy, Lowers Price Target to $97

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.

Wall Street&#8217;s worst sell-off since the 2020 pandemic has sent several major indices into correction or bear territory, prompting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44697600/stocks-rebound-chipmakers-soar-on-trade-deal-hopes-bitcoin-lags-whats-driving-markets-tuesday">a flight to safety</a>. 
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">ETFs that provide exposure </a>to consumer staples, utilities, and healthcare—sectors that have historically been considered defensive during downturns—are now in the limelight.
Some of the top choices are:
<ul>
<li>SPDR Select Sector Fund &#8211; Consumer Staples (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLP#NYSE">XLP</a>): This exchange-traded fund follows businesses that make common items such as food, drinks, and household goods. Sales of these necessities would generally continue regardless of economic downturns. Procter &amp; Gamble Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PG#NYSE">PG</a>), Costco Wholesale Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COST#NASDAQ">COST</a>) and Walmart, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) are among its holdings.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>SPDR Select Sector Fund — Utilities (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLU#NYSE">XLU</a>): Utility firms offer essential services such as electricity and water, so they would be favorites among income-hungry investors amid times of greater uncertainty. The portfolio includes NextEra Energy Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEE#NYSE">NEE</a>) and Pg&amp;E Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PCG#NYSE">PCG</a>).</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Vanguard Health Care ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VHT#NYSE">VHT</a>): Healthcare spending generally holds up in tough times, and VHT provides exposure to a blend of drugstore chains, medical device manufacturers, and healthcare providers. Eli Lilly &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) and Johnson &amp; Johnson (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>) are among the top holdings.</li>

Dividend-oriented ETFs are also attracting attention. The iShares Core High Dividend ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HDV#NYSE">HDV</a>), which owns a portfolio of financially healthy U.S. firms that pay high dividend yields, protects against declining stock prices with consistent income.
Value investing is also gaining traction. The Vanguard Value ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VTV#NYSE">VTV</a>), which tracks large-cap stocks that are undervalued relative to their fundamentals, is considered a less risky means of remaining invested while reducing exposure to growth stocks with volatile price swings.
The move into defensive positioning occurs as investors process the latest ratcheting up of U.S.-China trade tensions. According to the White House, the U.S. tariff rate on Chinese imports will spike to 104% at 12:01 a.m. ET on Wednesday unless China removes retaliatory tariffs against the U.S.
The risk of blanket tariffs — a 10% base tariff on all imports to the U.S. and higher rates on major trading partners such as the EU, India, Taiwan, and Vietnam — has unsettled markets. Uncertainty about a supposedly planned 90-day tariff break, which the White House <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44671308/stock-market-surge-evaporates-as-headline-roulette-plagues-traders-fake-news-white-house-says-in-response-to">called &#8220;fake news</a>,&#8221; contributed to the fluctuations.

In that environment, strategists say it&#8217;s not about going after gains — it&#8217;s about limiting losses.

As Trump Tariffs Spark Panic, Investors Rush Into These 5 'Recession-Proof' ETFs

NextEra Energy's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEE#NYSE">NEE</a>) short percent of float has risen 6.81% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 41.90 million shares sold short, which is 2.04% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.27 days to cover their short positions on average.
<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.

<h3>NextEra Energy Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744034446_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for NextEra Energy has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more 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 2.29%, 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>

Peering Into NextEra Energy's Recent Short Interest

U.S. stock futures were swinging between gains and losses on Tuesday after a mixed session on Monday. Futures of major benchmark indices were mixed in premarket trading.
President Donald Trump&#8216;s &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221;, the term he&#8217;s used for April 2nd, the day of incoming reciprocal tariffs, preceded a drop in stock prices.
S&amp;P 500 declined by 4.59% for the first quarter of 2025, whereas the Nasdaq 100 was down over 10%.
With the 10-year Treasury yield at 4.18% and the two-year at 3.87%, the CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool </a>shows markets pricing in an 86.8% likelihood of the Federal Reserve maintaining current interest rates through its May meeting.

Insights From Analysts:
After the S&amp;P 500 index declined 4.59% in the first quarter, marking its largest quarterly underperformance against global markets in 37 years, Ryan Detrick, the chief market strategist at Carson Research, cited historical data in his latest X post and stated that &#8220;April does better after a weak Q1.&#8221;
The average return in April stood at 3.1% after a poor first quarter, however, the average return for the full year after a bad first quarter stood at just 6.6%.
