NextEra Energy Shares Fizzle on Unit Sale
By Dean Seal
Shares of NextEra Energy pulled back after the company said it would sell $2 billion worth of equity units.
The stock was down 4.9% at $68.75 in Tuesday's premarket trading. Shares had gained 19% year-to-date when the market closed Monday.
The energy producer said after yesterday's bell that it plans to sell $2 billion in equity units at a price of $50 apiece.
Each unit will include a contract to buy a share of NextEra Energy common stock at some point in the future and a 5% undivided beneficial ownership interest in a NextEra Energy Capital Holdings debenture that will be issued in the principal amount of $1,000.
Unitholders will be required to complete the stock purchase no later than June 1, 2027.
Proceeds of the unit sale, expected to hit around $1.94 billion after deducting underwriting and other offering costs, will be added to NextEra Energy Capital Holdings' general funds for investments in energy and power projects.
