On June 2, NextEra Energy fell 3.05% in regular trading, trading at $84.375/share, with trading volume of $391 million. The Electric Utilities sector experienced broad-based weakness, with major peers declining in tandem.

On the news front, NextEra Energy previously announced a proposed approximately $670 billion all-stock acquisition of Dominion Energy, marking the largest utility merger in U.S. history. The deal, designed to create a utility giant spanning from Florida to Virginia's dense data center clusters amid surging AI-driven power demand, offers Dominion shareholders approximately $76 per share. Jefferies recently upgraded Dominion Energy to \"Buy\" with a $76 target price, expressing confidence the transaction will receive regulatory approval. Barclays also modestly raised NextEra's target price to $90 while maintaining an Equal Weight rating.

Within the Electric Utilities sector, Constellation Energy fell 6.05%, Southern fell 2.87%, Duke fell 2.02%, and American Electric Power fell 1.98%, reflecting sector-wide pressure.
