How NEE-PR scores on the Regulated Utilities defenses

Regulatory Franchise

Not measurable · 25% of the moat score

The franchise is the moat, granted rather than earned: an exclusive right to serve a territory in exchange for regulated prices and an obligation to supply.

Rate-Base Return Quality

Not measurable · 20% of the moat score

A utility earns an allowed return on the capital invested in its network, the rate base.

Dividend Sustainability

Not measurable · 18% of the moat score

Utilities are owned largely for income, and the dividend is only as safe as the operating cash flow behind it.

Capital Structure Discipline

Not measurable · 17% of the moat score

Regulated utilities carry more debt than almost any other sector, which suits how predictable their revenue is but makes credit quality a core competitive asset.

Operational Efficiency

Not measurable · 12% of the moat score

Efficiency is unusually consequential under regulation.

Essential Service Resilience

Not measurable · 8% of the moat score

Electricity, gas and water are bought in a recession at close to the volume bought in an expansion, which is why utility revenue barely tracks the economic cycle.

Understanding NEE-PR's moat

What is NextEra Energy, Inc. 6.926% Cor's moat score?

NextEra Energy, Inc. 6.926% Cor (NEE-PR) scores 0 out of 100 on the StatsAlpha Moat Map, which rates its competitive advantage as weak. The score is a weighted composite of 6 competitive defenses, each measured against industry peers of 46 companies in Utilities - Regulated Electric.

How is the moat score calculated?

Each company is scored with an industry-specific template — Regulated Utilities in this case, chosen because the defenses that matter to a bank are not the ones that matter to a software company. Every defense combines several financial signals, and each signal is measured as a percentile against a peer group of 46 companies in Utilities - Regulated Electric. The defenses are then weighted to produce the overall score out of 100.

Why is NextEra Energy, Inc. 6.926% Cor scored with the Regulated Utilities template?

A regulated utility is a legal monopoly whose prices are set by a regulator rather than by a market. It cannot raise prices at will and it cannot be undercut, so most of the usual questions about competitive advantage barely apply. What matters is the quality of the regulatory bargain: whether the company earns the return it is allowed, funds its capital programme cheaply, and sustains the dividend investors own it for.

Which competitive defenses are measured for NextEra Energy, Inc. 6.926% Cor?

The Regulated Utilities template measures 6 defenses, and NEE-PR scores: Regulatory Franchise (not measurable), Rate-Base Return Quality (not measurable), Dividend Sustainability (not measurable), Capital Structure Discipline (not measurable), Operational Efficiency (not measurable), Essential Service Resilience (not measurable). Each is scored independently as a percentile against peers, so a company can be strong on one and weak on another — the overall score reflects how those defenses are weighted for this industry.
