If you believe SO's lower valuation multiple can persist despite its weaker margin profile and low quality scores, then hold or accumulate selectively because the P/E model implies 10.6% upside and SO trades below NEE on every listed multiple; if you prefer stronger profitability and earnings conversion, NEE looks higher quality despite its richer valuation.
SO trades at a lower P/E, P/S, EV/EBITDA, and EV/Revenue than NEE, suggesting the market assigns it a discount despite similar gross margins. However, the discount is partly justified by NEE's much stronger operating and net margins, which support a higher quality earnings profile.
