NextEra (NEP) Looks Good: Stock Moves Up 5.5% in Session

NextEra Energy Partners, LP NEP was a big mover last session, as its shares rose over 5% on the day. The move came after Moody's assigned Ba1 Corporate Family Rating to the company. This led to far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This continues the recent uptrend for the company as the stock is now up over 7% in the past one-month time frame.

None of the estimates for this stock were revised over the past 30 days, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate moved higher over the same time frame, suggesting solid trading ahead. So make sure to keep an eye on this stock going forward to see if yesterday's jump can turn into more strength down the road.

NextEra currently sports a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), while its Earnings ESP is negative.
