Insights

Insider transactions analyst

Routine tax withholding on vested restricted stock; no open‑market trade.

The Form 4 shows 93 shares of NextEra Energy common stock withheld at $92.53 per share to cover tax obligations on restricted stock vesting granted on March 17, 2025. Code F signals this is a non-market, compensation-related event.

Because this is tax withholding rather than a discretionary buy or sell, it carries little informational value about the insider’s view of the stock. Gough continues to hold 10,864 direct shares and 307 indirect shares via a Retirement Savings Plan Trust, indicating an ongoing equity stake after the transaction.
