I need to get the new line after each full stop for this highlighted output values, i have tried with

replace(coalesce(item()?['dst_majorfindings'], ''), '.', '.<br>') but this doesn't work in "Select" or "HTML table" actions, any idea to fix this ?
 
current result;- 

"Contributing Factor": 
 
The sun was setting behind the mountains, casting a warm golden glow over the valley. Birds chirped their evening songs, and a gentle breeze rustled the leaves of the ancient oak trees. In the distance, a river sparkled as it wound its way through the landscape, reflecting the colors of the sky. It was a perfect moment of tranquility, a reminder of the simple beauty that nature offers every day.

I tried this

replace(item()?['Contributing Factor'],'.','. ')

It gave the result in the flow:

Contributing Factor": "The sun was setting behind the mountains, casting a warm golden glow over the valley. Birds chirped their evening songs, and a gentle breeze rustled the leaves of the ancient oak trees. In the distance, a river sparkled as it wound its way through the landscape, reflecting the colors of the sky.

In which HTML action are you testing it in? I tried in HTML in outlook and it worked there.

You describe 2 different cases:

The line break character in Power Automate can be written as decodeUriComponent('%0A')

E.g. within a Select:

replace(item(), '.', concat('.', decodeUriComponent('%0A')))

A line break is written as in HTML, but is HTML encoded if it is inserted before conversion using the "Create HTML Table" action.
So you have to do the conversion first and then the replacement with .

E.g.

replace(body('Create_HTML_table'), '.', '. ')
