Commentary

Sentiment is cautiously constructive: consensus medians sit modestly above the anchor, implying limited base upside but material upside if buybacks, project execution, or favorable regulatory rulings materialize. Divergent analyst views (low ~$78 to high ~$104) reflect differing convictions on execution and regulatory risk.

SO	Large regulated utility with a growing renewable portfolio; useful comparison on regulatory cadence and capital allocation to renewables.
XEL	Mid-cap regulated utility focused on clean-energy transition and grid investment; comparable execution and regulatory exposure.
NRG	Power generation and retail exposure with more merchant risk; contrasts NextEra's large regulated/contracted renewable backlog.
