NextEra Energy: 28 uninterrupted years of payout raises With its electrical grid powering the homes of over 12 million people throughout Florida, NextEra Energy (NYSE: NEE) is one of the most dominant electric utilities in the world. A variety of factors shook up financial markets in 2022: decades-high inflation, the war between Russia and Ukraine, ongoing supply chain issues, and soaring interest rates, to name a few. These are led by the mega-blockbusters ($5 billion or more in annual sales), including the immunology drug Stelara and the cancer therapy Darzalex.
