The merger creates the largest regulated electric utility with significant scale advantages and a clear growth trajectory (9%+ EPS growth target). Traders should monitor regulatory approvals (state commissions in VA, NC, SC; FERC; NRC; HSR) and shareholder votes as key catalysts. The all-stock structure means Dominion shareholders will convert to NextEra shares — watch NEE's relative valuation and any arbitrage spread. The 12-18 month timeline implies a long-duration hold for merger arbitrageurs.
