Top Renewable Energy Stocks to Keep an Eye On – SIRC, ABML, SAENF, AACTF
The transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources is presenting tremendous investment opportunities. Amid the push to slow global warming by reducing carbon emissions, demand for alternative energy sources has skyrocketed. The transition to wind, solar, and hydroelectric power is already gathering pace as the decarbonization of the global economy is expected to present a $150 trillion investment opportunity over the next three decades.
Governments are increasingly accelerating global decarbonization by proposing and passing legislation to bolster the renewable energy sector. The US has already passed a $1.2 trillion infrastructure that includes spending on clean energy investments.
While the focus has always been on the big companies likely to benefit from the increased spending and legislation on clean energy, little-known gems offer tremendous investment opportunities. The likes of SIRC ABML, AACTF, and SAENF not only provide solid exposure into the burgeoning sector but have a big room for growth as most are trading for pennies.
