Best Clean Energy Stocks To Own Right Now

Call it global warming. Call it climate change. Maybe it’s a nuance, or maybe your political stance determines how you feel about this debate. 24/7 Wall St. has tracked investment in clean energy and renewable energy for years.

It turns out that 2016 broke the growth cycle for investing in clean energy — and then some.

With a new Trump administration about to take office, it looks like there is a night and day views on climate change versus the Obama administration. That makes this report something which likely cannot be ignored. After all, it was only known for less than two months that Hillary Clinton’s clean energy trends would not continue what was seen under the Obama administration. Still, it’s a big world and many other nations outside of the United States have a serious role in clean energy.

The news at the start of 2017 is showing a stark difference for 2016. Bloomberg New Energy Finance now shows that the total dollars of new investments into clean energy fell a whopping 18% down to $287.5 billion in 2016. While the prior year was a record of $348.5 billion, what stands out here now is that the 2016 figure is also represented as being 9% lower than the $315 billion invested into clean energy in 2014.

    When chip giant Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) announced in July that it planned to pay $18.9 billion in cash to acquire CA Technologies (NASDAQ:CA), the reaction from analysts was far from positive.

Top 5 Low Price Stocks To Watch Right Now

AT&T (NYSE:T) could offer customers a streaming television package for the low, low price of $0 per month in the near future.

During AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson’s testimony in the Department of Justice’s case against his company, blocking its potential acquisition of Time Warner (NYSE:TWX), he noted the company is planning a $15 per month sports-free streaming bundle called AT&T Watch.

Wells Fargo analyst Jennifer Fritzsche said the service will be available to everyone, but AT&T will offer it for free to its wireless customers. AT&T currently offers a $15 discount on any DirecTV Now bundle to its unlimited wireless data plan subscribers, so it would effectively be offering the same discount for customers who opt for the sport-free AT&T Watch. AT&T also offers free HBO to its unlimited subscribers.

AT&T has said it’s seen a lot of success by bundling video products with its wireless plans, and it’s seen a couple of copycat attempts by T-Mobile and Sprint. AT&T Watch is yet another move to differentiate its service.

Advisors’ Opinion:

    U.S. investors often avoid Russian stocks due to the political risks, sanctions, and currency issues associated with the once-hot emerging market. But despite those challenges, there’s one Russian growth stock that doubled over the past two years — Yandex (NASDAQ:YNDX), which created the country’s top search engine.

  • [By Dan Caplinger]

    Monday was a positive day on Wall Street, as major benchmarks jumped following an uneventful weekend, tapering their gains as the session came to a close. Some had feared that China might retaliate once again after the U.S. issued a second round of tariffs against the nation with the world’s second-largest economy, but the expected fireworks didn’t come, putting market participants more at ease. The beginning of earnings season in the next week will also distract investors from geopolitical issues, perhaps allowing indexes to climb further. Yet some individual stocks had difficulties that sent their shares lower. Yandex (NASDAQ:YNDX), Menlo Therapeutics (NASDAQ:MNLO), and MGIC Investment (NYSE:MTG) were among the worst performers on the day. Here’s why they did so poorly.

Everyone has heard of ICOs, but an older approach involving airdrops and hard forks is gaining new traction and holders of Bitcoin and Ethereum stand to benefit significantly if the trend continues.

In an ICO, participants contribute capital to buy tokens whereas, in an airdrop (or hard fork), tokens are allocated to existing holders of a particular chaintypically Bitcoin or Ethereum. Thats right, instead of buying tokens, theyre simply given away to the holders of another coin.

If the trend continues, Bitcoin and Ethereum are poised to spin-off dozens or hundreds of crypto-offspring. If so, this phenomenon could have significant implications for Bitcoin and Ether (the native asset of Ethereum) holdersand increase urgency for prospective holders. (Disclosure: My firm, Blockchain Capital, invests in blockchain startups and crypto assets including Bitcoin and Ether.)

    This rapid growth in legal pot has create quite the demand for marijuana stocks. The seven largest marijuana stocks by market cap have all put on a show over the past couple of years.

    (1) Tesla (TSLA) will reportedly start producing its Model Y sport utility vehicle in November 2019. Can we just say what sane people (not the Tesla fanatics who continue to shred me on Twitter each day) are probably thinking: How in the world is Tesla going to successfully produce another vehicle, a more complex one at that, when it can’t even make money on what’s rolling off its fledgling production lines currently? And how is Tesla going to pull this new vehicle off without an injection of capital? The questions around Tesla’s survival are unending and rightfully so. (2) Who cares if Netflix (NFLX) has decided to pull out of the Cannes Film Festival – you see this company’s stock lately? Netflix has become far and away the best-performing member of the FAANG (Facebook (FB) , Apple (AAPL) , Amazon (AMZN) , Netflix, Alphabet (GOOGL) ) stock club this year. Here are five reasons why. (3) Oil prices are on fire, hovering around three-year highs on heightened geopolitical tensions. That’s bad news for consumer companies such as Walmart (WMT) given the associated rise in gas prices. Prices at the pump are up about 11% from this point last year, and some surveys see prices up at least 14% this summer.

    PACCAR INC has improved earnings per share by 16.3% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, PACCAR INC increased its bottom line by earning $3.82 versus $3.30 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($4.58 versus $3.82).

    We are Neutral on PCAR as the company faces the risk of both lower volume and margin pressure from declining demand in its core NA HD truck business in 2016. However, we believe PCAR should command a premium valuation due to its track record of solid execution. In addition, PCAR pays out a normal and a special dividend which, in total, should equal ~50% of net income and currently offers a yield of 4.1% (JPMe total payout of ~$2.12/share) making it potentially attractive to income-oriented investors.

    We rate PACCAR INC as a Buy with a ratings score of B-. This is driven by some important positives, which we believe should have a greater impact than any weaknesses, and should give investors a better performance opportunity than most stocks we cover. The company’s strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its impressive record of earnings per share growth, compelling growth in net income, notable return on equity, attractive valuation levels and largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures. We feel its strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had lackluster performance in the stock itself.

    NVIDIA has also recently announced several partnerships lately, like the one with Microsoft,dubbed Olympus, aimed at maximizing GPU performance for data centers. Then there are also other partnerships in the self-driving cars space, like the one with Bosch, and another one with PACCAR (NASDAQ:PCAR), to develop autonomous trucks. Of course, most of these partnerships will most likely take a while before they can translate to any monetary benefits for NVIDIA. What these deals do, though, is reinforce NVIDIA’s grip over this market, which even pushed Intel (NASDAQ:INTC)to acquire Mobileye (NYSE:MBLY), to build a presence in this space. Mobileye is the company that lost business from Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA)to NVIDIA last year. Putting that aside, more importantly, the price that Intel is paying to acquire Mobileye has indirectly pointed to the fact that NVIDIA may be significantly undervalued.
