Find out on this week's PlayingFTSE Show!Contrasting fortunes for the Steves this week. Steve D has outperformed and Steve W has missed out – but the game has a long way to run yet for both our investors. Alphabet's latest earnings report was incredibly impressive, but the stock market has largely shrugged it off. Why?Could it be because the firm is losing antitrust cases and investors are worried about a potential breakup? Steve D has been looking for ancient wisdom to figure out what to do.We don't talk about Tesla often, but Steve W thinks things have got interesting recently. Thet latest earnings were terrible, but that's not it.It looks like Elon Musk might have managed to clear the way for regulatory approval for robotaxis. So could this be the key moment?Intel has been outperforming expectations recently. But it's been doing it with flat sales and negative earnings per share. Can the new CEO turn things around and get the foundry business selling to a company not called Intel? That's probably the big question… but also: what's Pat Gelsinger up to?Steve W has been into DCC shares recently. But it's just sold its healthcare business for less than analysts had been hoping for it to.The stock is down as a result, but is there a bigger lesson for investors? Admiral and WH Smith have also struggled to get good prices for divestitures recently…Tariffs and falling oil prices have been making life difficult for Enphase recently. But could it be a good time to consider buying the stock?The situation is dynamic and volatile and that makes things hard for the company. That, though, might mean things could start getting a lot better very quickly.Only on this week's PlayingFTSE Podcast!► Support the show:Appreciate the show and want to offer your support?

Lots to talk about in the last week before the UK Budget. It's a busy show with five bits of quickfire news and four longer pieces to get stuck into. This week's quick stocks are a real mixed bag. Steve D has Barclays, Starbucks, and Renishaw – one up, one down, and one not really anywhere, but is any of them worth a closer look? Steve W has been looking at shares in Unilever and Union Pacific. The second one fell after earnings, but he's got his eye on a special situation coming down the tracks with the first. The Tesla share price climbed a staggering 22% after its latest earnings update. Steve W wants to know why and has been looking into the report. As always, there are two bits – what the company has done and what it's going to do. And there's one thing in particular that Steve thinks the business deserves a lot of credit for… Bloomsbury stock seems to keep going from strength to strength. And the latest trading update was no exception, with strong growth way ahead of expectations. There could well be more to come from this one with accolades coming in from all sides and another six Sarah J. Mass titles in the pipeline. No wonder Steve D's feeling good about things. It's been a very mixed week for the Lloyds share price. Things looked ok in midweek as the company's earnings report came in ok (though less spectacular than Barclays or NatWest). Since then, though, there's real pressure on as a ruling against Close Brothers has raised questions about car loan sales. But is the stock falling 8% in a day a buying opportunity? Enphase shares have had a difficult week after a tough earnings report. At one point, the stock fell 15% as the market took badly to its latest update. The company has a strong position in an industry that looks important, though. And with lower interest rates and a potentially cold winter on the way, is it just a matter of time?

It's titled 5 Sustainable Food-Related Stocks for Long-Term Investors. It's by Leslie P. Norton and found on morningstar.com. Here are some brief quotes from the article. “We talked with Edinburgh-based Stewart Investors, a global asset manager that practices sustainable investing, about the charms of food-related stocks. (The firm has a Morningstar ESG Commitment Level of Leader.)… The firm [Stewart Investors] tends to hold for the long term, and all the food-related companies that Wood mentions left cheap behind a while ago, as you'll see in the table below. Still, they have merits galore. I talked with Wood about why they're worth considering for the long haul. Stewart Investors' Food Stock Picks Source: Morningstar. Data as of Sept. 9, 2024. The star ratings for Mahindra & Mahindra, Novonesis, Totvs, and Unicharm are quantitative.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 10 Best ESG Stocks To Buy Now My next article comes from Insider Monkey. It's titled 10 Best ESG Stocks To Buy Now and is by Sheryar Siddiq. Here are a few quotes from him. “Our Methodology To create the list of top ESG stocks to buy now, we chose companies from the Vanguard ESG U.S. Stock ETF (ESGV) and ranked them by their percentage weight in the fund, listed in ascending order. In addition, we used hedge fund sentiments regarding each stock to illustrate how well these stocks hold up in the eyes of hedge fund investors. These were taken from Insider Monkey's Q2 2024 database… Our research has shown that we can outperform the market by imitating the top stock picks of the best hedge funds… (see more details here). 10. Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 85 Tesla's earnings for the second quarter fell short of expectations, driven by a decline in automotive sales for the second consecutive period. Despite a 2% revenue increase to $25.43 billion compared to the same quarter last year, automotive revenue dropped by 7% to $19.9 billion from $21.27 billion… Despite Tesla's recent challenges, Truist Securities analyst William Stein remains optimistic about the company's shift from traditional car manufacturing to AI, which he believes could unlock significant value. On August 14, he reaffirmed his ‘hold' rating on Tesla with a price target of $215, representing a 6.76% potential upside.” 9. JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM) Hedge Fund Holders: 111 JPMorgan Chase operates globally across sectors like Consumer & Community Banking, Corporate & Investment Banking, Commercial Banking, and Asset & Wealth Management. In 2023, the firm achieved a 15% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions from 2019 levels, advancing toward its goal of carbon neutrality by 2030. JPMorgan Chase also facilitated over $200 billion in green financing, including renewable energy projects and green bonds, contributing to its $2.5 trillion sustainable development financing target by 2030… Following the earnings release, Citi raised its price target for JPMorgan Chase from $205.00 to $215.00, while maintaining a Neutral rating.

(NASDAQ:AVGO) Hedge Fund Holders: 130 Broadcom [is] a global leader in technology, specializes in designing, developing, and supplying a wide range of semiconductor, enterprise software, and security solutions… The company plans to reassess its baseline and set new Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 greenhouse gas emission reduction targets. According to the company's ESG report, these new targets will align with the UN Paris Agreement and the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) goal to limit global warming to 1.5° Celsius above pre-industrial levels. In a recent note, TD Cowen identified Broadcom as a stock poised to benefit from the surge in AI spending… Cantor Fitzgerald maintained an Overweight rating and set a new price target of $200. 7. Eli Lilly And Company (NYSE:LLY) Hedge Fund Holders: 100 Eli Lilly is a global pharmaceutical firm renowned for its innovative medications. This past year, the company released its 2023 ESG report, highlighting significant strides toward its sustainability goals. The company has reduced greenhouse gas emissions by more than 20% between 2020 and 2022, despite notable business growth. The report also showcases Eli Lilly's commitment to diversity, with minority group members now holding 25% of U.S. management positions and women occupying 49% of management roles globally… In a recent update to its large-cap rankings, Wells Fargo analysts highlighted Eli Lilly's robust pipeline and potential to surpass market expectations in the coming years.

Now what would a podcast episode be without an article on solar power companies? So here it is titled These 3 Companies Are the Solar Power Leaders, But Should You Invest in Them? By Jordan Chussler and found on 247wallst.com. Here is some of what Mr. Chussler says in his article. “1. First Solar Inc. (NASDAQ: FSLR) has amassed an impressive $21.98 billion market cap and is considered by many to be the solar industry leader. The company manufactures solar panels, but also provides utility-scale photovoltaic power plants while also provides support services like financing, construction, maintenance and end-of-life panel recycling programs… In the second quarter of 2024, First Solar beat earnings forecasts for the fifth consecutive quarter by posting earnings per share (EPS) of $3.25 versus analysts' expectations of $2.70. The company also beat on revenue by reporting $1.01 billion versus analysts' expectations of $939.71 million… Analysts at the Wall Street Journal give First Solar's stock a median, one-year price target of $286. Shares are currently trading for $205.36, meaning, the stock is expected to have strong upside potential of 39.26% over the next 12 months.  2. Enphase Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: ENPH) is a clean energy technology company with a $13.95 billion market cap that specializes in the development and manufacturing of solar micro-inverters and battery storage systems… Since beating earnings forecasts during the third quarter of 2023, Enphase has missed for the past three consecutive quarters, posting a disappointing EPS of 43 cents in the second quarter of 2024 versus analysts' expectations of 49 cents… Shares of Enphase are currently trading around $112, but one-year price targets are incredibly spread out. The Wall Street Journal‘s analysts give a median price target of $130, but a high-end target of $170 and a low-end target of just $45.82.  3. Sunrun Inc. (NASDAQ: RUN) has the smallest market cap of all three companies, with just $3.8 billion. The San Francisco-based company provides photovoltaic systems and battery energy storage solutions primarily for a residential customer base.   Sunrun shocked Wall Street in the second quarter of 2024 by posting an EPS of 55 cents versus analysts' expectations of -33 cents in earnings. That was the first quarter since Q2 2023 that the company posted a positive EPS… Currently trading at $18.17, Wall Street Journal analysts give shares of Sunrun a median, one-year price target of $20, but a high-end target of $38 and a low-end target of just $7.78.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Ending Comment These are my top news stories with their stock and fund tips for this podcast “Great Sustainable Food Stocks, Plus…” Please click the like and subscribe buttons wherever you download or listen to this podcast.

My solar power installer HAD ONE JOB but FAILED. A short story. LOL along as they attempt to reinstall and commision my Enphase microinverter solar power system. Aircon Install FAIL video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XD5Emhqd5Ks Forum: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/blog/eevblog-1626-you-had-one-job!-(solar-power-install-fail)/

He came to America with ten thousand dollars and a dream of making it big. A few years later, he was a legitimate rock star, rocking arenas with Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osborne. So why did this British rocker who achieved the height of music stardom give it all up and start an EV charging business? How did that turn into not 1 but 3 successful exits (his most recent for north of $80M to Enphase) and a fourth energy sector startup sure to find similar outcomes? Rue Phillips, a rockstar turned entrepreneur, has a story unlike any other we've told here on SunCast.Rue has always had an interest in electronics, so perhaps it's a natural that when he hung up his axe he would find a way to leverage the trade skill handed down through his family. But in the 90's, EV charging and solar energy were hobbyist businesses for most aspiring entrepreneurs. Yet, Rue found himself installing EV charging infrastructure for the Hollywood elite, and parlayed that experience into fixing what he saw breaking in the solar industry, literally. Now, Rue has turned his attention back to addressing the weak link in our Electric Vehicle (EV) dreams, charging. A considerable portion of EV charging infrastructure is unreliable or inoperable. Phillips, once a guitarist for rock legends like Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne, has truly found his rhythm in energy entrepreneurship, founding several successful ventures including True South Renewables and 365 Pronto.His newest venture, SkillFusion, is a digital learning platform that aims to train skilled professionals to address the critical need for reliable EV infrastructure. SkillFusion offers comprehensive training programs to prepare the workforce needed to maintain and repair EV chargers. Phillips and his team aim to help EV charging companies achieve their long-promised 97% uptime guarantee.Expect to learn:Why reliable EV infrastructure will boost the industry's growth.How SkillFusion's training programs are bridging the skills gap in the EV sector.Rue Phillips' journey from rockstar to renewable energy pioneer.Rue's strategies for transforming passion into a successful business venture.Discover how SkillFusion is powering the EV revolution, one skilled technician at a time.Learn about the 10 Uncommon Books That Influenced Leaders of the Energy Transition + GiveawayIf you want to connect with today's guest, you'll find links to his contact info in the show notes on the blog at https://mysuncast.com/suncast-episodes/.SunCast is proudly supported by Trina Solar.You can learn more about all the sponsors who help make this show free for you at www.mysuncast.com/sponsors.Remember, you can always find resources, learn more about today's guest and explore recommendations, book links, and more than 650 other founder stories and startup advice at www.mysuncast.com.Subscribe to Valence, our weekly LinkedIn Newsletter, and learn the elements of compelling storytelling:

Now, remember that you can find a full transcript, and links to content – including stock symbols and bonus material – on this episode's podcast page located at investingforthesoul.com/podcasts. Also, a reminder. I do not evaluate any of the stocks or funds mentioned in these podcasts, nor do I receive any compensation from anyone covered in these podcasts. Furthermore, I will reveal to you any personal investments I have in the investments mentioned herein. Additionally, quotes about individual companies are brief. Please go to this podcast's webpage for links to the actual articles for more company and stock information. Also, some companies might be covered more than once and there are also 4 article links below that time didn't allow me to review them here. ------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Best ESG ETFs, Carbon Capture Stocks, More… It's been a while since I included an article focusing on ESG ETFs, so here's one from a good publication that just appeared on aol.com. It's titled Best ESG ETFs: Top funds for socially responsible investing. It's by Brian Baker at The Banker. Here are some quotes from the article. “1) Vanguard ESG U.S. Stock ETF (ESGV) The Vanguard ESG U.S. Stock ETF tries to match the performance of the FTSE U.S. All Cap Choice Index and screens for certain ESG criteria. Certain companies in the following industries are excluded from the fund: adult entertainment, alcohol, fossil fuels, gambling, nuclear power, tobacco and weapons. 5-year return (annualized): 14.6 percent Expense ratio: 0.09 percent 2) iShares Global Clean Energy ETF (ICLN) The iShares Global Clean Energy ETF seeks to track the performance of an index of global stocks from the clean energy sector. These companies produce energy from renewable sources such as solar and wind. 5-year return (annualized): 8.0 percent Expense ratio: 0.41 percent 3) iShares ESG MSCI USA Leaders ETF (SUSL) The iShares ESG MSCI USA Leaders ETF gives investors exposure to large- and mid-cap stocks that score highly on ESG issues relative to their sector peers. The fund avoids holding companies with low ESG ratings or severe controversies. 3-year return (annualized): 11.5 percent Expense ratio: 0.10 percent 4) Nuveen ESG Large-Cap Value ETF (NULV) The Nuveen ESG Large-Cap Value ETF uses a passive approach to invest in large-cap companies with value characteristics that also meet certain ESG criteria. 5-year return (annualized): 7.9 percent Expense ratio: 0.26 percent 5) SPDR S&P 500 Fossil Fuel Reserves Free ETF (SPYX) The SPDR S&P 500 Fossil Fuel Reserves Free ETF gives investors focused on climate change exposure to the S&P 500 while eliminating companies that own fossil fuel reserves. It's a great choice if you're looking for fairly traditional investment exposure with a slight focus on climate change. 5-year return (annualized): 14.4 percent Expense ratio: 0.20 percent 6) iShares MSCI Global Sustainable Development Goals ETF (SDG) The iShares MSCI Global Sustainable Development Goals ETF seeks to track the performance of an index made up of companies that derive the majority of their revenue from products and services that address at least one of the world's major social and environmental challenges as defined by the United Nations. 5-year return (annualized): 7.1 percent Expense ratio: 0.49 percent 7) iShares ESG Aware MSCI USA ETF (ESGU) The iShares ESG Aware MSCI USA ETF tracks the results of an index of U.S. companies with ESG features that show a similar risk and return profile as the overall MSCI USA Index. The fund includes large- and mid-cap U.S. stocks, and those looking for exposure to high-performing stocks with an ESG-bent may find what they're looking for here. 5-year return (annualized): 14.2 percent Expense ratio: 0.15 percent” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Best ESG ETFs, Carbon Capture Stocks, More… Now carbon capture has been gaining increasing attention as a means to reduce CO2. Hence, this article might interest many of you. It's titled TOP 5 CARBON CAPTURE STOCKS FOR SUSTAINABLE INVESTMENT. It's by the Ritz Herald and found on their site at ritzherald.com. Here are some quotes from the article commenting on some of the leading companies in this sector. “Carbon capture technology has emerged as a promising avenue for mitigating the impact of greenhouse gasses on the environment… Research shows that the carbon capture market is predicted to hit $7.7 billion by 2025, further emphasizing the potential for growth in this sector. With governments worldwide implementing stricter regulations on emissions and offering incentives for carbon capture initiatives, the market is ripe for investment… The top five carbon capture stocks identified herein not only offer potential returns for investors but also contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable future for generations to come. 1) Dotz is a leading nanotechnology company traded on the ASX [Australian Securities Exchange], is at the forefront of innovation with its carbon-based nanotechnologies… Dotz's primary focus is on DotzEarth, a revolutionary CO2 capture carbon-based sorbent technology designed for industrial decarbonization, which addresses two major environmental challenges – 1) industrial carbon emissions and 2) plastic pollution. 2) Aker Carbon Capture is a specialized enterprise dedicated to carbon capture, offering an array of solutions, services, and technologies tailored for various industries. These encompass sectors such as cement, bioenergy, waste-to-energy, gas-to-power, and blue hydrogen… Its distinctive post-combustion capture technology is the culmination of an extensive eight-year research and development endeavor known as SOLVit. Throughout this program, numerous solvent mixtures were meticulously tested and compared to refine the innovation. The resulting plants boast several key advantages, including minimal energy demands, a highly durable solvent, and outstanding performance in health, safety, security, and environment (HSSE) metrics. 3) FuelCell Energy delivers efficient, affordable, and environmentally friendly solutions for energy supply, recovery, and storage… These systems cater to utilities, industrial entities, and large municipal power users, offering a diverse range of solutions including utility-scale power generation, on-site power, carbon capture, local hydrogen production for transportation and industry, and long-duration energy storage… 4) Equinor is a global energy enterprise dedicated to fostering lasting value creation in a future characterized by low-carbon initiatives… As a key player on the Norwegian continental shelf and with substantial international operations, Equinor is deeply involved in the exploration, development, and production of oil and gas resources, alongside expanding interests in wind and solar power. 5) Delta CleanTech has been at the forefront of delivering state-of-the-art technology for pre/post-combustion CO2 capture from industrial sources since 2004… Central to Delta's portfolio is its CO2 capture system, known as Low-Cost Design or LCDesign®. This innovative system is designed to significantly reduce various key parameters, including CAPEX & OPEX (CO2 Cost), emissions, effluent, waste, chemical, and water consumption, as well as plant size and labor requirements.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Best ESG ETFs, Carbon Capture Stocks, More… The next article appeared on the renowned Morningstar.com site. It's titled 2 Sustainable Index Stocks With Room to Grow and is by Muskaan Hemrajani and Leslie P. Norton. Here's a little of what they said about their picks. “WestRock and Carnival surged in 2023 but still look cheap today… That's our conclusion after perusing the Morningstar US Sustainability Index, which seeks to reduce ESG risk while tracking the Morningstar US Large-Mid Cap Index… 1) WestRock WRK  Morningstar Rating: 3 Stars Fair Value: $55.00 ESG Risk Rating: Medium Price (as of April 8, 2024): $49.25 WestRock manufactures corrugated packaging and consumer packaging products, such as folding cartons and paperboard. It accounts for roughly 20% of the North American containerboard market and is the second-largest producer. The company has returned nearly 60% in the past year… Spencer Liberman, Morningstar equity analyst, writes: ‘WestRock is exposed to some environmental, social, and governance risks, including carbon emissions from the firm's operation and sizable water usage for production. However, we don't believe these risks could result in material value destruction.' 2) Carnival CCL Morningstar Rating: 5 Stars Fair Value: $27.50 ESG Risk Rating: Medium Price (as of April 8, 2024): $15.66 Carnival is trading at a 45% discount. Carnival is the largest global cruise company, with 92 ships in service at the end of fiscal 2023. Carnival's brands attracted nearly 13 million guests in 2019, prior to covid-19, a level it has reached again in 2023… Writes Jamie Katz, equity analyst at Morningstar, in a report. ‘Carnival's first-quarter performance suggests continuing demand momentum. Net yields were up 18%, helped by an 11% increase in occupancy, along with ticket and onboard gains.'” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Best ESG ETFs, Carbon Capture Stocks, More… Many of you are likely invested in the stocks covered in this next article titled Enphase Energy vs. Plug Power: Which Alternative Energy Stock Does Wall Street Like Best? It's by Ebube Jones at Barcharts and found on theglobeandmail.com site. Now some quotes from the article. “The Case for Enphase Energy Stock (ENPH) With a market cap of $16 billion, Enphase Energy is a big name in the solar energy game. They're all about making solar power more efficient and user-friendly, offering tech like microinverters and energy storage systems to both homeowners and business customers… At current levels… Enphase stock is priced at a discount… Out of 34 analysts… Enphase has landed a ‘moderate buy' rating overall… The average target price is pegged at $125.38, suggesting a potential 4.4% upside from here.  The Case for Plug Power Stock (PLUG) Plug Power is making waves in the hydrogen and fuel cell tech scene, focusing on creating hydrogen fuel cell systems that could replace the usual batteries in electric-powered equipment and vehicles. They've got a lineup of tech that includes fuel cells, hydrogen fueling stations, and even their own green hydrogen production.  Wall Street's take on Plug Power is a cautious ‘hold.' The average target price for PLUG is $5.30, about 79% north of current levels.  The Verdict: Enphase Edges Out Plug Power Enphase Energy seems to be the Wall Street favorite of these two clean energy stocks… Plug Power, on the other hand, is stuck at a ‘hold,' and has yet to turn a profit… But, keep an eye on Plug Power too - if they can get those hydrogen plants up and running and start turning a profit, they could be a serious contender in the longer haul.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 5. Best ESG ETFs, Carbon Capture Stocks, More… I'm going to end with this article titled Al Gore's Hedge Fund Loves This $445 Billion Stock. It's by the Motley Fool and seen on theglobeandmail.com. “Al Gore, the former U.S. vice president, co-founded Generation Investment Management in 2004. Today, the firm manages nearly $50 billion, all of which is directed to investments that the firm believes won't destroy the planet… Where is Al Gore's investment firm putting money to work today? One of its biggest investments -- a stake worth roughly $560 million -- is in a company nearly everyone knows well: Mastercard (NYSE: MA)… During the past two decades, Mastercard stock has risen more than 10,000% in value… Gore's firm has owned Mastercard stock since the second quarter of 2022. Don't be surprised to still see it in the portfolio many years down the road.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Other Honorable Mentions – not in any order 1) Title: How First Solar Crushed Its Solar Energy Rivals on finance.yahoo.com.

Molly Wood talks to Raghu Belur, co-founder and Chief Product Officer of Enphase Energy, about the company's pioneering work in decentralized solar power and their vision for a distributed, software-driven energy system that puts renewable power and storage in the hands of homes and businesses. They discuss Enphase's origins back in Clean Tech 1.0, the importance of microinverters, the role of batteries, and the policy challenges (ahem, California) that are shaping the adoption of distributed energy resources.RESOURCES & LINKSEnphase Energy: https://enphase.com/All episodes: https://www.everybodyinthepool.com/Subscribe to the Everybody in the Pool newsletter: https://www.mollywood.co/Become a member and get an ad-free version of the podcast: https://plus.acast.com/s/everybody-in-the-poolPlease subscribe and tell your friends about EITP!

Paradoxically, it's the start of a new year and the year is three months in. So it's time for the Steves to take a look at their portfolios and reflect on what they've been buying and selling. After three months, we're looking at someone else's first quarter. Earnings might not be out yet, but Tesla has reported its vehicle deliveries from the first three months of the year. On the face of it, the numbers aren't terribly impressive. Despite cutting prices, the company still produced significantly more cars than it sold between January and March. This shouldn't be a huge surprise, but it isn't good news. But with the stock having fallen sharply since the start of the year, is it in buying territory for Steve W yet? Steve D has had an interesting first quarter. His portfolio has done a solid job, but he's also been buying and selling as he reshuffles his investments when opportunities present themselves. If you thought the Playing FTSE Show's growth enthusiast only buys growth stocks, you'd be dead wrong. He's got an update on a FTSE 100 company in his portfolio and Pfizer. Looking ahead, Steve is focusing on houses. D.R. Horton to build them, Mid America Apartment Communities to lease them, and Enphase to stick solar panels on top of them. In some ways, Steve W has been busy and in others he's been sitting tight. The PlayingFTSE Show's valuation advocate has only sold two stocks – but one of them was his biggest investment. Last week, Steve teased a new stock for his portfolio that he's been buying – that stock is… Endeavour Mining. The FTSE 250 miner has been catching his attention as the gold price rises. In terms of what he's buying next, well, Steve doesn't have much in mind. There's lots he likes, not much he loves, and he's got an eye on a couple of growth stocks for the new ISA season.

Enphase Energy (ENPH) had a not so sunny company earnings report for Q4 2023, and the bad news is it's only going to get worse in Q1. Enphase has had a significant decrease in revenue and free cash flow in recent quarters. The transition from NEM 2.0 to NEM 3.0 in California seems to have had an outsized impact on the solar inverter and battery energy storage business, as has a higher interest rate environment. However, there are some positives. Enphase management thinks early 2024 could be the bottom for this downturn. It's also making a solid go expanding into new markets, and is undershipping solar inverter supply to its customers to manage inventory. Does this next-gen energy stock favorite meet the Chip Stock Investor criteria for the portfolio? Nick and Kasey discuss what's going on, and when they might be interested in buying again.

Furthermore, I will reveal to you any personal investments I have in the investments mentioned herein. Additionally, quotes about individual companies are brief. Please go to this podcast's webpage for links to the actual articles for more company and stock information. Also, some companies might be covered more than once and there are also 13 article links below that time didn't allow me to review them here. ------------------------------------------------------------- Top 10: ESG Stocks to Consider in 2024 I'm beginning this episode with an article titled Top 10: ESG Stocks to Consider in 2024. It's by Kate Birch and found on sustainabilitymag.com. Here are a few quotes by Ms. Birch on each of her picks. “1. Nvidia MSCI Rating: AAA The microchip megastar is one of the biggest beneficiaries of the artificial intelligence boom… The company has built what looks like an unassailable lead in the AI race, accounting for more than 70% of AI chip sales and widely recognised as the best, not just the biggest… MSCI finds that Nvidia – when the chips are down – could do better when it comes to corporate governance. 2. Microsoft MSCI Rating: AAA Microsoft is another tech giant… getting high on AI. Savvy investment in ChatGPT's creator OpenAI has put Microsoft in pole position… Microsoft is working toward 100% renewable energy by 2025, carbon negative by 2030, and has famously set out to offset all historical carbon emissions since it was formed in 1975 by 2050. 3. Best Buy MSCI Rating: AAA The tech retail giant which has more than 1,000 stores in the US and Canada… The company has pledged to be carbon neutral by 2040 and has already reduced carbon emissions by two thirds since 2009.  Barron's has named Best Buy in the 100 Most Sustainable US Companies for six years running, this year taking 7th position. 4​​​​​​​. Adobe MSCI Rating: AAA An industry standard software for the creative industries – from design to video editing… The company has set a goal of sourcing 100% renewable energy by 2035. 5. Intuit MSCI Rating: AAA Intuit… has been praised by MSCI for its corporate governance, human capital development, and carbon emissions. You've probably heard of Intuit thanks to its accounting software QuickBooks, and it's the company behind Mailchimp and Credit Karma too.  6. Idexx MSCI Rating: AAA Most well known as a company that helps pets live longer, healthier lives via diagnostics and tech innovations, Idexx products help ensure the safety of milk and water around the world – for humans too.  Listed in the S&P 500, Idexx employs 11,000 people and has customers in more than 175 countries and territories. 7. Lam Research MSCI Rating: AAA Lam makes equipment that makes the semiconductors we all rely on, and business is booming.  Lam is adopting sustainability across its organisation as it aims to reach net zero by 2050 and use 100% renewable energy by 2030.  8. Salesforce MSCI Rating: AA Everyone has surely heard of Salesforce – the cloud-based software that handles customer relationship management (CRM) and applications focused on sales and customer service… Pre-pandemic, Salesforce was ranked AAA but that dropped to AA in November 2020 and that is where it remains… MSCI says it… is seen as a laggard when it comes to corporate behaviour. 9. POOLCORP MSCI Rating: AA Pool manufactures equipment and machinery for swimming pools, and is the largest such company in the world… Pool was upgraded from an A to AA in 2019 in recognition of efforts made to be more sustainable, especially when it comes to labour management, where MSCI says it is a leader. 10. Cadence MSCI Rating: AA MSCI does not recognise it as an ESG Laggard in any of its criteria. However, Cadence misses out on the highest ranking as it is, well, bang average on too many criteria, including carbon emissions and human capital development.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- America's Most Responsible Companies 2024 The next article is another ranking. It's titled America's Most Responsible Companies 2024. The cover article is by Nancy Cooper and seen on newsweek.com. Here are a few quotes by Ms. Cooper. “This year, we award 600 of the largest corporations in the United States, up from 500 in 2022. While that increase is noteworthy, even more so is the fact that the company in this year's 600th spot has a higher score than last year's 500th. It is also worth mentioning that 243 companies on the list have placed for at least four consecutive years, with 156 earning a spot for all five years… This year's top overall position is held by Merck (MRK) having an impressive score of 92 out of 100, with Xylem (XYL) following closely at 91.3 and HP (HPQ), which held the No. 1 position for the previous four years, maintaining a solid presence in third with a score of 90.3. Three companies stand out for scoring 100 in one of the three ESG pillars: Dell (DELL), Entergy (ETR) and Merck.'” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 7 Best Solar Stocks to Buy Now Next, back to a familiar favorite sector with this article titled 7 Best Solar Stocks to Buy Now. It's by Jeff Reeves and appeared on money.usnews.com. Now some quotes from Mr. Reeves on his recommendations. “1. Array Technologies Inc. (ARRY) Array provides technology solutions that support solar array efficiency by moving panels to track the sun across the sky. This includes both the physical rigs as well as proprietary software that points them in the right direction at the right time… Average analyst estimates call for earnings per share to rise from $1.03 per share in 2023 to $1.27 per share in 2024. Revenue is growing nicely, too, with a projected 20% growth rate in 2024. Market capitalization: $2 billion 2. Canadian Solar Inc. (CSIQ) Though headquartered in Canada, Canadian Solar also has significant international operations, including in the fast-growing solar marketplace of China. And unlike some of the other stocks on this list that only produce solar panels or related hardware, Canadian Solar has a global energy segment that provides the actual power generation from solar farms… This diversification into a utility-style business model provides it a bit more stability… analyst projections of 26% revenue growth in 2024. Market capitalization: $1.5 billion 3. Daqo New Energy Corp. (DQ) Daqo is headquartered in China… Woods Mackenzie published a report in November that stated China will have more than 80% of the world's solar manufacturing capacity through 2026. Daqo's growth rate is impressive, with total revenue of $4.6 billion in 2022 compared with about $300 million back in 2018. Market capitalization: $1.3 billion 4. Enphase Energy Inc. (ENPH) Many solar investors are drawn to Enphase, both because it's larger than many dedicated solar rivals and because of its impressive 1,489% share price increase over the past five years through Jan. 25. Enphase has made a name for itself by specializing in semiconductor products known as ‘microinverters,' which convert energy captured in those cells into usable energy for homes and businesses… Truist just upgraded the stock in January, and Canaccord Genuity initiated coverage with a ‘buy' rating in the past few weeks, too.  Market capitalization: $14.5 billion 5. First Solar Inc. (FSLR) Founded in 1999… manufactures solar modules, mainly serving large-scale developers and operators of utilities or independent power grids for commercial and industrial use. The gloomy outlook for the industry in 2023 didn't take as much of a toll on First Solar, thanks to its focus on bigger customers instead of residential end-users, and its powerful position in the industry ensures it can weather short-term volatility as it looks to the future of alternative energy. Market capitalization: $15.8 billion 6. SolarEdge Technologies Inc. (SEDG) SolarEdge sells current inverter systems for solar installations, allowing the panels to produce alternating current, or AC, power that is transmissible across the energy grid. Unfortunately, the headwinds for the solar industry have been compounded by the fact that this mid-cap solar company is headquartered in Israel. As a result, shares are down a gut-wrenching 76% in the past 12 months. Market capitalization: $3.9 billion 7. Sunnova Energy International Inc. (NOVA) Sunnova installs solar arrays and energy storage solutions for homeowners and small businesses. It's modest in size… however… analysts expect more than $1 billion in total revenue in 2024 – more than 36% higher than expected 2023 sales. There's more volatility with a small and unprofitable stock… But if you want to get in on the ground floor of the residential solar rollout, Sunnova is a good option to consider in 2024. Market capitalization: $1.3 billion.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- The Top 5 Sustainable Funds of 2023: AI, Anybody? Now a look at some funds with this article titled The Top 5 Sustainable Funds of 2023: AI, Anybody? It's by Muskaan Hemrajani and seen on morningstar.com. Here are some points by Mr. Hemrajani on each of the funds. “To identify the top sustainable funds of 2023, we screened U.S.-based funds within the Morningstar Large Cap category that identify as sustainable investments. 1. Invesco ESG NASDAQ 100 ETF (QQMG) Return: 55.34% Morningstar Medalist Rating: Bronze Maximum Allocation: The technology sector Top Holdings: Microsoft MSFT (13.00%), Apple AAPL (11.99%) Notable: 10% portfolio weight is in AI stocks like Nvidia NVDA and Broadcom AVGO 2.

BlackRock Sustainable US Growth (BESGX) (Note different versions of fund) Return: 43.42% Morningstar Medalist Rating: Neutral Maximum Allocation: Microsoft (12.77%) and the technology sector.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 3 Stocks Poised for Success in the Sustainable Fashion Trend Now this article will particularly interest those of you who are fashion conscious! It's titled 3 Stocks Poised for Success in the Sustainable Fashion Trend by Shane Neagle and found on investorplace.com. Now some quotes. “Embrace these three sustainable fashion stocks for a greener future… 1. Lululemon Athletica (LULU) The company makes fashion products designed for health-conscious and active consumers. 2. Deckers Outdoor (DECK) In its commitment to sustainability, Deckers Brands has made significant strides in recent years. 3.

Enphase Energy's Q4 2023 earnings call, unedited

In maydornsmeinung analysiert Börsenexperte Alfred Maydorn die neuesten Entwicklungen der beliebtesten Aktien deutscher Anleger und versieht sie mit seiner persönlichen Meinung.

Eine Flut erfreulicher Quartalszahlen schwappt über die Wall Street und hebt die Boote, vor allem im Nasdaq. Neben Chipotle gehören auch die Aktien von Roblox, Fortinet, Ford, Enphase und Sonos zu den Stars des Tages. Auf der dunklen Seite der Macht stehen die Aktien von Snap, die nahezu ein Drittel des Wertes nach den Zahlen und trüben Aussichten verlieren. Auch die Aktien der VF Corp. und von Alibaba geraten nach den Ergebnissen unter Druck. Trotz der soliden Zahlen sehen die Aktien von Uber Gewinnmitnahmen. Hilton kann ebenfalls nicht profitieren. Im Tagesverlauf werden sich erneut zahlreiche Notenbanker zu Wort melden. Außerdem wird um 19 Uhr MEZ das Auktionsergebnis 10-jähriger Staatsanleihen gemeldet.

Batteries were everywhere at September's RE+ Conference in Vegas. I counted over 100 different battery company and system vendors. It was more of a battery and solar tracker show than a solar show — demonstrating the rapid evolution of these clean energy technologies. But out of a hundred batteries on the show floor, there are only half a dozen that I would recommend to homeowners. Home battery systems should provide reliable backup power during a blackout, and also generate utility bill savings. The vast majority of batteries I saw on the show were basically not ready for prime time. Here's why… First, you need a complete battery system, not just a battery. In addition to the battery, these systems require controls, an inverter, an enclosure, a transfer switch, communications, and a lot of software. It's extremely important that all these major components are controlled by one company. Batteries are not “plug and play” like printers and solar panels. Second, your battery system should be manufactured by an established company with a strong balance sheet and local service and support — not just a PO Box and a WhatApp number. I often say that it takes an army to grow a successful battery storage system company. Almost impossible to succeed on a shoestring. Third, you need a contractor that knows how to install, configure and support the system. Solar contractors with electricians on staff are generally the most qualified. An experienced local solar contractor is best positioned to give you good advice. Based on recent installation data from Ohm Analytics, the most popular battery systems are from Tesla, SolarEdge, SunPower, Enphase, Generac and FranklinWH. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and be specific about my favorites. Enphase is best for small systems. FranklinWH is best for fast installations and whole home backup. SolarEdge has the most efficient system, and can install the most battery capacity in the smallest space. And Tesla is currently the least expensive and has a well-known brand name. For more about my recommendations of home battery systems, please listen to this week's Energy Show. You'll get a charge out of it!

The move is also seen as a thaw in the frosty relations between Tesla and California after the company moved its corporate headquarters to Texas in 2021. Elon Musk and Governor Gavin Newsom made the announcement, with Newsom praising Tesla for its "visionary spirit" and record of innovation. Newsom argued that Tesla was able to become the largest passenger EV maker in the world because of the state's EV-friendly policies and tax structure. Tesla also announced that they are hiring for engineering roles in Palo Alto. - Original Source: https://www.latimes.com/business/technology/story/2023-02-22/tesla-to-open-engineering-headquarters-in-palo-alto-california SEAN RYAN WANTS TESLA FIRINGS INVESTIGATED - Summary: Sean Ryan, a state senator from New York, has called on the state's economic development agency to investigate Tesla's firing of more than 40 employees last week in response to a union organizing drive at its South Buffalo plant. Attorneys for the Tesla Workers United have filed a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board, alleging that at least 25 of those fired were in retaliation for the organizing effort. Ryan has requested documents from Tesla officials in Buffalo related to the firing of the workers. - Original Source: https://www.wgrz.com/article/news/investigations/investigative-post/sean-ryan-wants-tesla-firings-investigated/71-9542b649-6011-41ca-b91b-226274a4516a ENPHASE ENERGY DEMONSTRATES BIDIRECTIONAL EV CHARGER TECHNOLOGY - Summary: Enphase Energy has successfully demonstrated a bidirectional EV charger that enables vehicle-to-home (V2H) and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) functionality and allows energy generated from solar panels to be sent directly to the EV battery. The product uses Enphase's grid-forming IQ8 Microinverters and Ensemble energy management technology, and supports both the CCS and CHAdeMO charging standards. Enphase plans to bring this charger to market in 2024, as part of an all-in-one home energy system that unlocks electrification, resilience, savings and control for homeowners. - Original Source: https://chargedevs.com/newswire/enphase-energy-demonstrates-bidirectional-ev-charger-technology/ FORD STUDY SHOWS HEATED INTERIOR PANELS COULD SAVE EV RANGE - Summary: Ford conducted a study to test which system is more efficient for keeping the cabin temperature comfortable in E-Transit vans - the traditional HVAC system or heated interior panels. The study found that panels used 13% less energy and could potentially increase EV range by 5%. It was suggested that this is due to the panels retaining heat even with frequent door openings. Luxury automakers such as BMW and Mercedes have been offering heated armrests for years and it is possible that heated interior panels could become more common in the near future as a way to improve EV range. - Original Source: https://www.autoblog.com/2023/02/22/ford-heating-efficiency-study-interior-panels-hvac/?guccounter=1 EV CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE IS ‘INADEQUATE AND PLAGUED WITH NON-FUNCTIONING STATIONS': J.D. POWER - Summary: J.D. Power's ongoing study shows that inoperable and poorly maintained public EV charging stations are increasingly frustrating drivers. More than one in five charging attempts fail, with these failures attributed to 72% malfunctioning or out-of-service chargers. EV owners in high-density areas are particularly frustrated with the lack of available chargers. The White House has announced that Tesla will open some of its charging network to non-Tesla vehicles, but there is skepticism about how open the network will be. - Original Source: https://www.utilitydive.com/news/ev-charging-infrastructure-inadequate-non-functioning-stations/643277/ MICHIGAN WANTS $750 MILLION TO PREP SITE FOR FORD EV BATTERY PLANT ON TOP OF $1 BILLION INCENTIVES DEAL - Summary: Michigan economic development officials have asked lawmakers to provide $750 million to support Ford Motor Co.'s new $3.5 billion electric vehicle battery factory in Marshall.
