    "excerpt": "New York, July 18, 2026, 13:10 EDT U.S. markets were closed Saturday. NextEra finished Friday at $88.80, down 0.6% on the day. Still, the stock gained 1.0% from the prior Friday.

That is an inference, not proof of investor intent. Dominion gained 1.4% for the week. The comparison uses Friday closes against July 10 closing prices. Price change from July 10 through July 17.
