NextEra Energy Partners LP (NYSE:NEP) stock is down 3.6% in premarket trading, after Barclay downgraded the solar energy provider to "underweight" from "equal weight" and lowered its price target to $25 from $32. The analyst in coverage noted NextEra's convertible equity portfolio financing caused overhangs it can't get out from under.

On track for a third-straight loss, NextEra Energy stock could dip below its year-to-date breakeven level and extend its year-over-year deficit of 50.2%. The shares are set to open at their lowest mark since early May and fall below recent support from its 50-day moving average.
