NextEra's stock fell after mixed quarterly results, while Wall Street focused on comments about allegations of subsidiary's campaign-finance violations.
NextEra Energy Inc. reported mixed fourth-quarter results on Wednesday, but the stock sank as Wall Street appeared to focus more on the Florida-based electric utility’s comments about allegations of campaign-finance violations by its subsidiary Florida Power & Light Co. .
The stock NEE fell 7.2% in afternoon trading but pared earlier losses of as much as 9.5%. It was on track to suffer the biggest one-day selloff since it tumbled 8.3% on Jan. 25, 2022. The media reports Ketchum was referring to are allegations that FPL financed the run of a sham candidate with the same last name as former Florida State Sen. José Javier Rodriguez, a Democrat, who had proposed a law regarding solar power that would have eaten into FPL’s profits. That sham candidate reportedly drew enough votes from Rodriguez that he lost his re-election bid.
The FEC will take 12 to 18 months to decide if should investigate the claim further, Ketchum said. In the meantime, he said the company plans to file a response in the “next few weeks” seeking dismissal of the claim.

‘I was teaching before he was born’: professor slams DeSantis for quashing Black history educationFlorida Governor Ron DeSantis is trying to control the type of education that Florida students can receive, most recently rejecting an advanced placement course in African-American studies, claiming it was “contrary to Florida law” and “significantly lacking educational value.” The law he is referring to seems to be the 'Stop Woke Act' that basically gives him the power to downplay the true racial history of America. This has impacted many educators, but there are some in the state who refuse to back down. Dr. Marvin Dunn, one of the preeminent historians in Florida, is one of those saying, 'Bring it on.' Professor Marvin Dunn, author of, 'A History of Florida Through Black Eyes,' joins Joy Reid to discuss.
