Top Stocks to Watch This podcast edition is going to be heavy on solar stocks. And for good reason! I'm beginning with this article titled Can Solar Power the AI Boom? Top Stocks to Watch on finance.yahoo.com. It's by Ethan Feller and originally published on zacks.com. Here are some quotes. “It's hard to overstate how attractive solar stocks look right now, even without considering the potential AI infrastructure catalyst… the stocks highlighted here have already shown powerful momentum year-to-date. 1. SolarEdge Technologies (SEDG) With shares trading at depressed valuations and demand for utility-scale inverters likely to rebound, SolarEdge Technologies offers contrarian upside if execution improves. Though it isn't yet reflected by the Zacks rank, SolarEdge Technologies currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) rating, it has experienced some significant revisions higher to its earnings estimates… Sales are also projected to grow by more than 24% both this and next year. 2. Nextracker Inc. (NXT) As the leading provider of solar trackers, Nextracker directly benefits from the shift to utility-scale projects. Its technology boosts panel efficiency and lowers costs, making it a natural winner as large-scale solar buildouts accelerate. The stock has moved significantly higher this year, up 85%, yet the company still trades at just 16.6x forward earnings. 3. Sunrun (RUN) A pure play on residential solar Sunrun has struggled under higher interest rates. But as financing conditions ease and consumer adoption of solar-plus-storage grows, Sunrun could be positioned for a strong recovery. Based on recent revisions, earnings are expected to inflect meaningfully positive over the next year. 4. Array Technologies (ARRY) Like Nextracker, Array builds solar tracking systems that enhance utility-scale efficiency. With a global footprint and strong backlog, Array offers solid exposure to the utility-scale solar buildout at a reasonable valuation. With earnings projected to grow 21.6% annually over the next three to five years and a forward earnings multiple of 14.2x, Array boasts a Price/Earnings to Growth ratio of 0.66. The combination of strong growth and reasonable valuation offers a compelling risk reward opportunity. 5. Shoals Technologies Group (SHLS) Shoals specializes in balance-of-system components — wiring, connectors, and infrastructure that every solar farm needs. Its recurring demand base and high margins make it a steady, less flashy way to play the solar boom. Shoals Technologies Group is in an especially advantaged vertical and is the only name in the group with a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) rating, reflected by upward trending earnings revisions. Solar's Role in Powering the AI Revolution If AI data centers really do scale toward hundreds of gigawatts of demand, solar will almost certainly claim a portion, and potentially large share of that market, making now an opportune time to consider exposure to the sector before the market fully prices in this growth.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 3 Stocks to Buy as Solar Power Set to Drive 50%+ of New Capacity Continuing on the solar power theme is this article. It's titled 3 Stocks to Buy as Solar Power Set to Drive 50%+ of New Capacity on finance.yahoo.com. I had to include it as the author is a favourite on this site. Her name is Aparajita Dutta. Here are some quotes on her picks. “Positive projections from the Energy Information Administration show solar powering over half of new U.S. electricity generation in 2025, signaling a rebound. While headwinds remain, growing demand and installation trends should sustain U.S. solar industry momentum. 1. Sunrun (RUN) Based in San Francisco, CA, the company develops, owns, manages and sells residential solar energy systems… The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Sunrun's 2025 revenues indicates an improvement of 11.2% from the prior-year reported figure… The company currently sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). Sunrun Inc. (RUN): Free Stock Analysis Report. 2. Shoals Technologies (SHLS) Based in Portland, TN, the company manufactures a diverse portfolio of solar balance of systems products, including combiner/re-combiner boxes, disconnect boxes, custom harnessing solutions, junction boxes, wire, in-line fuses and racking and monitoring solutions… The stock boasts a long-term (three-to-five years) earnings growth rate of 24%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2025 sales indicates an improvement of 15.3% from the prior-year reported figure. The company currently carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). Shoals Technologies Group, Inc. (SHLS): Free Stock Analysis Report. 3. Tigo Energy Inc.(TYGO) Based in Campbell, CA, the company is a provider of intelligent solar and energy storage solutions. On Sept. 2, 2025, Tigo Energy announced that its three-phase Tigo EI Residential solution has successfully completed mandatory compliance testing with a Slovak distribution system operator. This certification confirms that the solution complies with local grid requirements and Slovak regulatory standards, ensuring safe, efficient, and innovative solar energy management… The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2025 sales indicates an improvement of 91.9% from the prior-year reported figure… It currently carries a Zacks Rank #2. Tigo Energy, Inc. (TYGO): Free Stock Analysis Report.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Green ETFs 2026, Best Sustainable ETFs USA, Top Environmentally Friendly ETFs This next article is a useful compilation in chart form of the top sustainable ETFs.

It's by Sunlight Xiang. Here are a few quotes on the picks. “1. Brookfield Renewable Partners (NYSE: BEP) With a market cap of $7 billion and a dividend yield of 5.89%, it is one of the world's largest renewable energy platforms. It operates over 5,300 power generation facilities across four continents, with a total generation capacity of nearly 40 gigawatts (GW). While it is a leader in hydroelectric power, it is actively expanding into wind, solar, and energy storage. In July 2025, it signed a 3 GW hydroelectric supply agreement with Google's parent company, Alphabet, setting a record for corporate hydroelectric procurement. The company expects continued cash flow growth and has a project pipeline of 24 GW. Its investment-grade balance sheet and conservative dividend payout ratio support its expansion capabilities. Combining its dividend yield and growth potential, its expected annualized return is around 15%. 2. NextEra Energy (NYSE: NEE) Although its subsidiary XPLR Infrastructure suspended its dividend, the parent company maintains a strong dividend track record: it has increased its payout for 30 consecutive years, with a compound annual growth rate of 10% since 2007. Its dividend yield stood at 3.2% in mid-2025, roughly double the S&P 500 average. This Fortune 200 company, which owns the largest utility in the U.S. (Florida Power & Light), added 1.1 GW of solar, wind, and storage capacity in the second quarter of 2025, with capital expenditures reaching $2 billion. Despite policy headwinds, it added 3.2 GW to its project backlog during the quarter, bringing the total backlog to approximately 30 GW (compared to 38 GW of operating capacity). 3. Clearway Energy (NYSE: CWEN) Boasting a market cap of $3 billion and a dividend yield of 7.52%, it owns nearly 12 GW of renewable energy capacity, in addition to operating 2.8 GW of natural gas generation facilities and district energy systems. Long-term PPAs ensure stable cash flow, and its annual dividend is expected to grow by 5% to 8% in the coming years. Although it paused a 200-megawatt solar project in Hawaii due to wildfire risks, it reached a deal in April 2025 to supply power to Microsoft from its planned 335-megawatt Mount Storm wind farm project in West Virginia. Thanks to its close ties with project developer Clearway Energy Group, it has access to a 30 GW project pipeline. A reasonable dividend payout ratio and ample liquidity underpin its resilience.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- More articles with Sustainable Investment Picks for September 2025 from around the world. 1.

A vast change to what's been promised for Auckland City Rail Link's opening capacity. In 2022, it was reported 27 thousand peak passengers would be using the rail line from opening day next year. That's now gone down to 19 thousand passengers an hour at peak times. AT Public Transport Director Stacey van der Putten told Mike Hosking the 27 thousand figure merged a few different elements including design capacity, timetabling, and patronage. She points out that 19,000 is still a significant increase on current numbers, as it's still a 50% increase in patronage. Van der Putten told Hosking it will take some effort to rebuild confidence in the rail network after the prolonged disruption, but there's plenty of enthusiasm for the new line.

Gas grid operators on the Trans-Balkan corridor have been working to enable traders to access natural gas via Greek LNG terminals or pipelines for shipments to Ukraine at a unified discounted tariff.The bundled transmission capacity product launched in May could open opportunities for diversification and tightening security of supply.Nevertheless, many traders say the format may not be compliant with EU network codes and insist they had limited information prior to the first auction held in May.As the five TSOs are preparing a new round of auctions, the Greek regulator RAE has started a consultation and companies are expected to submit their views by 9 June 2025.ICIS reporter Aura Sabadus has collected 15 questions from gas traders active regionally and invited Sotirios Bravos (DESFA), Nikola Delev, (Bulgartransgaz), Marius Lupean, (Transgaz), Liviu Duminica, (VMTG) and Andrii Prokofiev (GTSOU) to answer them in detail.

In this first part of the "Famous Last Words" series, Pastor Rex Keener dives deep into the transformative power of Jesus' final words before His ascension. As we explore Acts 1:4-9, Pastor Keener unpacks the profound significance of Jesus' promise to His disciples—a promise that offered them a new capacity and a new calling to represent Him well. Pastor Rex begins by reflecting on the intriguing nature of famous last words, sharing memorable examples that range from the humorous to the profound. But none are more impactful than the last words of Jesus Christ. These words, spoken just before He ascended to the right hand of the Father, were not only a farewell but also a commissioning. They provided the disciples with a powerful vision for their future—a future where they would become His witnesses to the ends of the earth, empowered by the Holy Spirit. Throughout the sermon, Pastor Keener highlights how Jesus' words offered the disciples a new capacity through the Holy Spirit. This capacity wasn't just about human strength or resolve; it was a divine empowerment—"dunamis"—that gave them the courage and power to carry out the mission Jesus entrusted to them. Pastor Rex explains the different names of the Holy Spirit found in Scripture, each representing a unique aspect of His work in our lives. But here, the focus is on the Spirit of Power, who provides the disciples—and us—with the strength to live out our faith boldly and effectively. However, this empowerment doesn't come without a cost. Pastor Keener challenges us to consider whether we've ever been truly broken before the Lord. It's in our moments of brokenness, when we despair of our own abilities and recognize our need for God, that we are most open to receiving His power. Just as the disciples had to be broken before they could be empowered, we too must reach the end of our own strength before we can fully rely on God's. In addition to this new capacity, Pastor Rex speaks on the new calling that Jesus gave His disciples—to be His witnesses. This wasn't just a task to check off a list but a new identity. As Christ-followers, we are called to represent Him in every aspect of our lives. Pastor Rex illustrates this with a personal story about his early ministry days, where he grappled with how our lives can either attract or repel others from Christ. It's a powerful reminder that our witness is more about who we are than just what we do. As the sermon draws to a close, Pastor Rex encourages us to reflect on our own lives. Are we living as effective witnesses for Christ? Have we truly embraced the new capacity and calling that comes with being a follower of Jesus? He sets the stage for the next sermon, where he will explore the new custom that Jesus outlined for His disciples—a pattern of ever-expanding influence that begins at home and extends to the ends of the earth. Join us for this inspiring and challenging message as we learn what it means to live with a new capacity and calling, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and committed to representing Jesus well in every aspect of our lives. Don't miss the continuation of this series next week, where we'll dive into the practical outworking of this mission. We pray this message from August 18, 2024 will bless you!!

Healthcare is a diverse industry, ranging from individual practitioners and home health nurses to ambulatory care centers and integrated systems with revenues in the billions of dollars. The risks along that spectrum also vary widely, but the insurance marketplace for healthcare organizations has been almost uniformly tight. Several insurance companies that underwrote healthcare business for decades have withdrawn from some classes, citing high loss ratios. In their place, new sources of capacity have emerged. Historically, the presence of new entrants has signaled competition and a loosening of terms, conditions, and rates. Unfortunately for insureds, that is not happening in the current marketplace. It's a challenging environment that requires retailers to approach the renewal process differently.Featured in this Episode:Bob Allen is president of Pro-Praxis, a CRC Group company providing specialty programs to large healthcare organizations, based in New York.Rusty Hughes is a senior broker in the Birmingham, Alabama, office of CRC Group.Alex Gould is a broker in the Birmingham, Alabama, office of CRC Group.Subscribe to CRC Group on YoutubeSubscribe to Tools & Intel (email newsletter)Read Past Tools & Intel ArticlesFollow CRC Group on LinkedIn
