"You can go without anything that Pepsi makes," according to Landon Swan with LikeFolio. That means consumers can cut the company out of their everyday spending. But as Landon mentions, PepsiCo (PEP) and its investors may have braced for that headwind already. ======== Schwab Network ======== Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Retail sales beats expectations but shows consumer is still softening. June retail sales came in flat compared to the previous month, this topped the expectation for a 0.4% decline. Compared to last June, retail sales were up 2.3%. Areas of strength included non-store retailers (+8.9%), food services and drinking places (+4.4%), clothing and clothing accessories stores (+4.3%), and electronics and appliance stores (+2.7%). Both furniture and home furnishing stores (-4.0%) and building material and garden equipment and supplies dealers (0.9%) were done when looking year over year, but they have perhaps started to turn the corner as they both showed month over month gains. Gasoline stations were also a negative weight as it was down 3.0% compared to last month and 0.4% compared to last year. Overall, I believe this is a strong report that shows an economy that is slowing but remains in a healthy place. With this news and other comments from Fed chair Powell markets have now priced in a 100% chance of at least one rate cut by the September meeting.    Will oil demand increase or decrease in years to come? I have been concerned about oil consumption and investing in oil related companies based on the increase in electric and hybrid vehicles. Unfortunately, there's not much help in predicting oil demand from the experts. British petroleum, also known as BP, expects oil demand will plateau by 2025. They believe the subsequent decline will depend on how aggressive countries get with carbon omissions. BP believes by 2050 oil demand could drop down to 25 million to 30 million barrels a day if countries get serious about a “net zero” goal. This would be a major decline from today's level of about 102 million barrels a day. But there's others who disagree such as OPEC which sees demand growing by 4.1 million barrels a day from 2023 to 2025 and continuing to rise at least through 2045. The Paris-based International Energy Agency forecasts a peak in 2029 and the US Energy Information Administration is looking for peak between 2030 and 2040. It also looks like Warren Buffett does not believe a peak is coming soon as he has been investing heavily into Occidental Petroleum and has a sizeable stake in Chevron. With all the uncertainty, I believe if an investor is going to invest in an energy company, it should be a well-diversified.    Japan's $1.5 trillion pension fund could be a black Swan for our stock market. Japan has grown their pension fund to $1.5 trillion over the years and has continued to increase the amount of money they invest in the US. As of March 31st, about 50% of the fund was held in foreign stocks and bonds, most of which was in the United States. The problem they have is their currency, the yen vs the dollar has fallen to levels not seen since President Reagan was in office. The investments in foreign countries have led to some criticism as some say it amounts to a vote of no confidence by the Japanese government in its own currency. It is unknown what US equities they hold, but the fund was up 23% in its most recent fiscal year. My concerns are what if they want to reduce their exposure to US equities and bonds to 30%? That would be a reduction of around $300 billion. What if they hold in their pension the high-flying technology companies? How would those stocks perform if the fund sold $100 to maybe $200 billion worth of stock? No one knows for sure, but with that 23% gain there is a high likelihood that they had a portion perhaps a good portion of the investments in the US technology companies.    A Major Mistake with Spousal Social Security When collecting Social Security on your own work history, you may collect between the ages of 62 and 70. Every month you wait, your benefit amount increases. In cases where one spouse did not work, or had a very limited earnings history, that spouse may qualify for a larger spousal benefit from Social Security. The maximum spousal benefit is one half of the higher earning spouse's full retirement age benefit amount, and the lower earning spouse would need to collect at their own full retirement age to receive it. If this half is more than what they would receive from their own earnings history, they will receive the larger spousal benefit, not both. If they collect before their full retirement age, they will receive a reduced amount. Also, the higher earning spouse must be collecting for the lower earning spouse to be able to collect a spousal benefit. Many people have the idea of deferring their Social Security until age 70 so they receive the highest possible monthly amount. This strategy may not be the best decision normally, and it can be even more problematic when a spousal benefit applies. I met with some people this week who had this idea. One spouse worked and the other did not, so a spousal benefit was definitely going to be applicable. The problem is, a spousal benefit does not get any larger beyond full retirement age, which in this case was age 66 and 10 months for both of them. They were both the same age, so if they had waited to collect until 70, the lower earning spouse would be deferring 38 months (from 66 and 10 months until 70) for no additional benefit. In this case the spousal benefit was about $1,900 per month so whether she collects at 66 and 10 months or waits until 70, she would still receive only $1,900. This mistake would have cost them over $70,000 in missed Social Security benefits. Fortunately, they had not reached their full retirement age yet and the working spouse had not retired, so they had not lost anything yet. If you will be receiving a spousal benefit from Social Security it is almost never helpful to defer beyond your full retirement age, which is usually around age 67.    Companies Discussed: CrowdStrike (CRWD), Amazon (AMZN) and PepsiCo (PEP)

Noticias Económicas y Financieras Se abre un nuevo capítulo para Paramount Global tras varios giros llenos de drama que la llevaron finalmente a aceptar una fusión con Skydance Media de David Ellison. Es una transacción compleja, pero hay esperanzas de que pueda resucitar un ícono de Hollywood que ha borrado alrededor del 70% de su valor de mercado luego de la recombinación de Viacom y CBS en 2019. La compañía luego fue rebautizada como Paramount Global, pero desde entonces ha experimentado problemas de efectivo con su negocio de streaming (Paramount+), sufrió una caída en la televisión lineal (CBS y MTV) y vio a S&P Global rebajar su deuda a la categoría de "basura". Francia se prepara para una incertidumbre política sin precedentes, ya que el Nuevo Frente Popular emergió como el ganador sorpresa de las elecciones legislativas, obteniendo más escaños que la alianza Ensemble del presidente Emmanuel Macron y el Agrupamiento Nacional de Marine Le Pen. Pero como ningún bando logró obtener una mayoría, la Francia moderna verá su primer parlamento sin un partido dominante. Los operadores parecen haber restado importancia a la incertidumbre, ya que el índice CAC 40 (CAC:IND) revirtió pérdidas anteriores y subió casi un 1%. Como los tres grupos tienen agendas muy diferentes en lo que respecta a temas que van desde los impuestos hasta la inmigración, no está claro cómo avanzarán para formar un gobierno. La tercera es la vencida. El fabricante de refrescos Britvic (OTCQX:BTVCF), que cotiza en la Bolsa de Londres, ha acordado una adquisición por parte de la cervecera danesa Carlsberg $CABGY, creando un gigante de las bebidas "con una sólida plataforma para el éxito continuo". La operación ayudará a Carlsberg a diversificarse fuera del mercado de la cerveza, con una expansión hacia las bebidas no alcohólicas. La oferta de adquisición endulzada se valoró en 3.280 millones de libras ($4.2B) después de que Britvic rechazara dos ofertas anteriores que consideró demasiado bajas. La nueva combinación también involucrará a PepsiCo $PEP, dados sus acuerdos de larga data con Britvic sobre la producción y las ventas en el Reino Unido. $BA Boeing ha aceptado declararse culpable de un cargo de conspiración criminal para defraudar al gobierno de Estados Unidos después de que el Departamento de Justicia determinara que violó un acuerdo sobre dos accidentes fatales del 737 MAX en 2018/19. El fabricante de aviones se enfrentará a la multa máxima por el delito, o $487.2M, y deberá invertir $455M para fortalecer sus programas de cumplimiento y seguridad. Las familias de las víctimas dijeron que el acuerdo de culpabilidad, que evitará los tribunales, no responsabiliza a Boeing por la muerte de 346 personas en los accidentes. Los expertos legales también creen que la declaración de culpabilidad puede no afectar a los contratos de defensa de Boeing, ya que el Pentágono depende en gran medida de la empresa. $V Visa y $MA Mastercard extienden los límites a las tarifas de tarjetas no pertenecientes a la UE. $AAPL Apple autoriza la aplicación de mercado de Epic Games en Europa.

Heute werfen wir einen genauen Blick auf die PepsiCo-Aktie (PEP). In diesem Video besprechen wir die Struktur des Unternehmens, das Geschäftsmodell, die Aktionärsstruktur sowie wichtige finanzielle Kennzahlen wie Umsatz, Gewinn, Cashflow und Verschuldung. Zudem betrachten wir die Dividendenpolitik und bewerten die Aktie. Am Ende geben wir unser Fazit und eine Empfehlung ab.

In the global marketplace, PepsiCo recently released their earnings report. CEO Ramon Laguarta communicated to investors, saying, "Our innovation is strong. Our ability to understand local rituals and local food and beverage occasions is better than ever. We are adapting our portfolio to that. Our ability to attract the best talent in the markets where we participate and build really capable teams is better than ever. We've been investing in capacity." This statement reflects the company's capability and performance in the initial quarter of the financial year and indicates its strategic progress in international markets driven by an understanding of local cultures and focused innovation.One significant component behind their success is a strategic focus on developing businesses on a scalable basis in densely populated markets. With increased capacity through the inauguration of new factories, countries such as Vietnam, China, India, Mexico, and Poland are leading this expansion plan. Significantly, Laguarta mentioned, "In China, our team is already consistent for the last four, five years, been gaining share and creating a very capable and profitable business in China, we're very proud of." This attests to PepsiCo's strategic positioning in a key market.In response to the evolving consumer landscape, PepsiCo demonstrates its effectiveness and resilience against challenges. Particularly among the Chinese and less affluent US consumer segments, PepsiCo has made strategic adjustments to its commercial approach, innovation, and pricing strategy to meet these changes and further its growth.In future plans, the corporation aims to maintain investment in manufacturing and market entry capabilities across international markets to facilitate operational efficiency and expand market reach. PepsiCo's pursuit of diversified product options and focus on categories such as savory snacks, non-alcoholic beverages, and away-from-home meals outline its potential for expansion.To conclude, based on the information presented during the earnings call, it can be inferred that PepsiCo's financial performance, focused market expansion strategies, adaptations to consumer trends, and future investments illustrate a proactive approach to maintaining growth and profitability. However, it is crucial to note that these conclusions are largely based on the statements made by PepsiCo on their earnings call and should therefore be viewed within that context.

World's Most Ethical Companies in 2024 The first article for this episode is another great company ranking I've been following for many years. A press release titled World's Most Ethical Companies in 2024 best describes this ranking. It was found on finance.yahoo.com. Here are some quotes from it. “Ethisphere, a global leader in defining and advancing the standards of ethical business practices, today announced the 136 companies that have earned the coveted designation of the World's Most Ethical Companies in 2024. This year's honorees span 20 countries and 44 industries. 2024 marks the 18th annual World's Most Ethical Companies recognition.

The companies – though also derived from the Vanguard U.S. Stock ETF – are ranked by hedge fund ownership. The only duplicate company in the two lists is Microsoft. So, here's Ms. Gill's description of her methodology and edited brief quotes about the selected companies. “We scanned the holdings of Vanguard ESG U.S. Stock ETF (ESGV) which is a market capitalization-weighted index composed of large-, mid-, and small-cap stocks of companies located in the US that are screened for certain environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) criteria by the index provider, which is independent of Vanguard.

It's titled 4 Clean Energy Stocks That Have Defied the Odds. It's by Avi Salzman and seen on barrons.com. Here's a key chart from the article. “Clean energy stocks had a miserable 2023… The WilderHill Clean Energy Index is down 47% in the past year… It's worth understanding what has set the handful of winning stocks apart.

In this edition of the AAP Podcast, Chris Versace sits down with Yerbaé Beverage (YERBF) CEO Todd Gibson, who, having sold multiple beverage businesses to the likes of Coca-Cola (KO) and PepsiCo (PEP), is no stranger to the global beverage business. Todd explains why Yerbaé is focused on healthy and natural ingredients for its products resulting in a very different offering compared to those from Monster Beverage (MNSTR) and Celsius Fitness Drinks (CELH). Todd also discusses Yerbae's current distribution footprint and where it's going as well as why the company prunes its beverage portfolio every year to make room for new offerings. The two also talk about Yerbae's definition of clean products, the company's five pillars, and how it also develops its new flavors. Regarding our position in PepsiCo, Todd shares inflation pressure in the beverage industry continues to level off with notable improvement in prices for cans and other raw materials and freight costs. That suggests we could see some additional margin leverage at PepsiCo during the strongest quarter of the year for its beverage and snacking business.

W H O 'S Cancer Research Agency To Say Aspartame Sweetener A Possible CarcinogenREUTERS One of the world's most common artificial sweeteners is set to be declared a possible carcinogen next month by a leading global health body, according to two sources with knowledge of the process, pitting it against the food industry and regulators. Aspartame, used in products from Coca-Cola diet sodas to Mars' Extra chewing gum and some Snapple drinks, will be listed in July as "possibly carcinogenic to humans" for the first time by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the World Health Organization's (WHO) cancer research arm, the sources told Reuters. The IARC ruling, finalised earlier this month after a meeting of the group's external experts, is intended to assess whether something is a potential hazard or not, based on all the published evidence. It does not take into account how much of a product a person can safely consume. This advice for individuals comes from a separate WHO expert committee on food additives, known as JECFA (the Joint WHO and Food and Agriculture Organization's Expert Committee on Food Additives), alongside determinations from national regulators. However, similar IARC rulings in the past for different substances have raised concerns among consumers about their use, led to lawsuits, and pressured manufacturers to recreate recipes and swap to alternatives. That has led to criticism that the IARC's assessments can be confusing to the public. JECFA, the WHO committee on additives, is also reviewing aspartame use this year. Its meeting began at the end of June and it is due to announce its findings on the same day that the IARC makes public its decision – on July 14. Since 1981, JECFA has said aspartame is safe to consume within accepted daily limits. For example, an adult weighing 60 kg (132 pounds) would have to drink between 12 and 36 cans of diet soda – depending on the amount of aspartame in the beverage – every day to be at risk. Its view has been widely shared by national regulators, including in the United States and Europe. An IARC spokesperson said both the IARC and JECFA committees' findings were confidential until July, but added they were "complementary", with IARC's conclusion representing "the first fundamental step to understand carcinogenicity". The additives committee "conducts risk assessment, which determines the probability of a specific type of harm (e.g. cancer) to occur under certain conditions and levels of exposure." However, industry and regulators fear that holding both processes at around the same time could be confusing, according to letters from U.S. and Japanese regulators seen by Reuters. "We kindly ask both bodies to coordinate their efforts in reviewing aspartame to avoid any confusion or concerns among the public," Nozomi Tomita, an official from Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, wrote in a letter dated March 27 to WHO's deputy director general, Zsuzsanna Jakab. The letter also called for the conclusions of both bodies to be released on the same day, as is now happening. The Japanese mission in Geneva, where the WHO is based, did not respond to a request for comment. DEBATE The IARC's rulings can have huge impact. In 2015, its committee concluded that glyphosate is "probably carcinogenic". Years later, even as other bodies like the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) contested this, companies were still feeling the effects of the decision.Germany's Bayer (BAYGn.DE) in 2021 lost its third appeal against U.S. court verdicts that awarded damages to customers blaming their cancers on use of its glyphosate-based weedkillers. The IARC's decisions have also faced criticism for sparking needless alarm over hard to avoid substances or situations. It has four different levels of classification - carcinogenic, probably carcinogenic, possibly carcinogenic and not classifiable. The levels are based on the strength of the evidence, rather than how dangerous a substance is. The first group includes substances from processed meat to asbestos, which all have convincing evidence showing they cause cancer, IARC says. Working overnight and consuming red meat are in the "probable" class, which means that there is limited evidence these substances or situations can cause cancer in humans and either better evidence showing they cause cancer in animals, or strong evidence showing that they have similar characteristics as other human carcinogens. The "radiofrequency electromagnetic fields" associated with using mobile phones are "possibly cancer-causing". Like aspartame, this means there is either limited evidence they can cause cancer in humans, sufficient evidence in animals, or strong evidence about the characteristics. The final group - "not classifiable" - means there is not enough evidence. "IARC is not a food safety body and their review of aspartame is not scientifically comprehensive and is based heavily on widely discredited research," Frances Hunt-Wood, secretary general of the International Sweeteners Association (ISA), said. The body, whose members include Mars Wrigley, a Coca-Cola (KO.N) unit and Cargill, said it had "serious concerns with the IARC review, which may mislead consumers". The International Council of Beverages Associations' executive director Kate Loatman said public health authorities should be "deeply concerned" by the "leaked opinion", and also warned it "could needlessly mislead consumers into consuming more sugar rather than choosing safe no- and low-sugar options." Aspartame has been extensively studied for years. Last year, an observational study in France among 100,000 adults showed that people who consumed larger amounts of artificial sweeteners – including aspartame – had a slightly higher cancer risk. It followed a study from the Ramazzini Institute in Italy in the early 2000s, which reported that some cancers in mice and rats were linked to aspartame. However, the first study could not prove that aspartame caused the increased cancer risk, and questions have been raised about the methodology of the second study, including by EFSA, which assessed it. Aspartame is authorised for use globally by regulators who have reviewed all the available evidence, and major food and beverage makers have for decades defended their use of the ingredient. The IARC said it had assessed 1,300 studies in its June review. Recent recipe tweaks by soft drinks giant Pepsico (PEP.O) demonstrate the struggle the industry has when it comes to balancing taste preferences with health concerns. Pepsico removed aspartame from sodas in 2015, bringing it back a year later, only to remove it again in 2020. Listing aspartame as a possible carcinogen is intended to motivate more research, said the sources close to the IARC, which will help agencies, consumers and manufacturers draw firmer conclusions. But it will also likely ignite debate once again over the IARC's role, as well as the safety of sweeteners more generally. Last month, the WHO published guidelines advising consumers not to use non-sugar sweeteners for weight control. The guidelines caused a furore in the food industry, which argues they can be helpful for consumers wanting to reduce the amount of sugar in their diet. For more News and Features from A. I.

My wife and I recently celebrated our 15-year anniversary… and it's incredible to think about the changes we've gone through. I share some advice for younger listeners about life and marriage.   We're in the heart of earnings season—and a ton of big names are reporting this week. I explain why McDonald's (MCD) and PepsiCo (PEP) are trading near 52-week highs… and why you shouldn't expect prices on your favorite products to come down anytime soon.   The Fed is set to hike interest rates next week and many investors think it will be the last time—but I disagree. I explain why I expect several more rate hikes over the next few months… and why anyone predicting rate cuts later this year is nuts.    Next, I break down the positives and negatives in yesterday's earnings from Alphabet Inc. (GOOG) and Microsoft (MSFT).   The biggest news for Microsoft came from the U.K. Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), which killed its deal to buy Activision Blizzard (ATVI). I explain why the CMA's move could be retaliation for a recent U.S. policy move… and why investors should be concerned about the government's growing intervention across multiple industries, especially energy and crypto.   On tomorrow's episode of WSU Premium, Daniel and I will dig deeper into Microsoft's dead Activision deal and the growing tensions between world governments. We'll also discuss the government's attack on crypto… and how “de-dollarization” will create a major shift in global power.

It's by Brandon Michael and seen on stockmarket.com. Here are some quotes from Mr. Michael. “Investors keen on renewable energy stocks may be looking at the likes of Canadian Solar (NASDAQ: CSIQ). The company yesterday made its first move in the battery energy storage space in the United Kingdom… Elsewhere, Algonquin Power's (NYSE: AQN) Liberty unit is working with Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: FB) on a new wind power project in Michigan… With that being said, check out these renewable energy stocks… 1) Blink Charging (NASDAQ: BLNK) The company currently operates and maintains over 30,000 charging ports across 13 countries. Additionally, most of Blink's charging stations are linked via its global network, allowing users to seamlessly charge at any of its locations worldwide… The company announced record first-quarter results. Blink saw its total revenues soar to $9.8 million, a massive 339% increase year-over-year. The company attributes this massive growth in revenue to increased product sales and service revenues. Besides that, the company also sees 3,174 charging stations contracted or sold, a 99% year-over-year increase. With Blink expecting this momentum to persist through 2022, should you invest in Blink stock? 2) Ormat Technologies (NYSE: ORA) Ormat is a geothermal industry leader that has supplied power-generating equipment for customers in over 30 countries. Apart from that, it also has expertise in energy storage solutions. The renewable energy company reported its earnings for the first quarter of the year… Ormat generated revenues of $183.7 million, an increase of 10.4% year-over-year. The company owes this revenue growth to its Electricity segment performance as well as its strategic capacity additions. Next to that, its adjusted net income came in at $18.4 million, rising 20.8% from $15.3 million. Accordingly, diluted earnings per share were $0.33, growing 22.2%... The company also provided its guidance for the rest of the year. Ormat forecasts revenues to range between $710 million and $735 million… Is Ormat stock one to watch? 3) Sunrun (NASDAQ: RUN) It has pioneered home solar service plans to make local clean energy more accessible to everyone. The company's innovative home battery solutions also bring more affordable and reliable solar energy… Sunrun reported its financial results for the first quarter of 2022.  The company saw its revenue increase by 48% to $495.8 million. Besides that, it saw a 27% growth in its Solar Energy Capacity Installed in the first quarter, exceeding its guidance. Sunrun also grew its customer base by 20%, now totaling 689,774 customers as of March 31, 2022. For the rest of the year, the company expects its Solar Energy Capacity Installed Growth to be 25% or more, an increase from its prior guidance of 20%. Considering Sunrun's performance, is Sunrun stock worth adding to your watchlist? 4) SolarEdge (NASDAQ: SEDG) Its products include SolarEdge Power Optimizer, SolarEdge Inverter, SolarEdge Solutions, and SolarEdge Monitoring Software. It is noteworthy that the company's power optimizers provide module-level maximum power point tracking and real-time adjustments of current and voltage to the optimal working point of each PV module… SolarEdge announced its first-quarter financial results… It reported a record revenue of $655.1 million, up 62% from $405.5 million in the same quarter last year. Its solar segment, which makes up most of its revenue, brought in a record $608 million, an increase of 62% year-over-year… Net income came in at $68.8 million in the past quarter, rising 24% from $55.5 million. Diluted earnings per share were $1.20, up from $0.98 in the same quarter last year. All things considered, should you add SolarEdge stock to your portfolio? 5) Enphase Energy (NASDAQ: ENPH) Enphase is a renewable energy company that designs and manufactures home energy solutions. It is a global energy technology company and also the world's leading supplier of microinverters-based solar storage systems. With its smart and easy-to-use solutions, the company connects solar generation, storage, and energy management into one intelligent platform. Enphase's semiconductor-based microinverters convert energy at the individual solar module level and bring a system-based approach to solar energy management… The company reported better than expected results for its first quarter. Its revenue came in at $441.3 million, exceeding the $420 to $440 million the company forecasted last quarter. Additionally, this signals a revenue growth of 46.2% compared to the same period last year. Besides that, Enphase raked a net income of $51.8 million, up by 63.5%. Accordingly, diluted earnings per share were $0.37 compared to $0.24 in the year prior. For its second-quarter outlook, it foresees revenue to range between $490 million to $520 million. Given the solid quarter, should you buy Enphase stock?” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Best US Corporate Citizens This next piece is from a press release by 3BL Media announcing their terrific annual 100 Best Corporate Citizens ranking. Here are some quotes from the release. “Recognizing outstanding environmental, social and governance (ESG) transparency and performance among the 1,000 largest U.S. public companies. For the fourth consecutive year, Owens Corning (OC) tops the ranking. PepsiCo (PEP), Apple (AAPL), HP (HPE) and Cisco (CSCO) round out the top five. The 100 Best Corporate Citizens ranking is based on 155 ESG factors in eight pillars: climate change, employee relations, environment, finance, governance, human rights, stakeholders and society, and ESG performance. Using a methodology developed by 3BL Media, all Russell 1000 Index companies are researched by ISS ESG, the responsible investment research arm of Institutional Shareholder Services. There is no fee for companies to be included in 100 Best Corporate Citizens… To ensure companies in the ranking were not lobbying against Paris Climate Agreement-aligned policies, in 2021 3BL Media partnered with InfluenceMap to assess a ‘red flag' penalty to such oppositional companies. Taking it a step further, in 2022 a ‘green flag' bonus was introduced to recognize firms using their political influence and spending in support of Paris aligned policies. PepsiCo, Apple, Microsoft, PSEG and Salesforce were the only companies to receive this ‘green flag.' Click here to access the complete 100 Best Corporate Citizens of 2022 ranking and methodology.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 2 green UK stock picks Now from the UK is this article 2 green stocks that I think are no-brainer buys for the future by Jon Smith. It's found on fool.co.uk. So to some quotes from Jon Smith. 1)  ITM Power (LSE:ITM) “The first green stock I like is ITM Power. The business designs, manufactures, and integrates electrolysers to produce green hydrogen. It has a range of commercial potential uses, including as fuel. The only waste is water and green hydrogen can be stored in tanks for long periods of time — it's easy to see why people are excited… ITM Power is really starting to get up and running. The stock won a project grant from the German government in January. It has secured investment from the UK government last November for the first phase of an ongoing project at the Whitelee Windfarm hydrogen facility. The share price is down 11% over the past year, but up 50% over two years. I think that with momentum from the recent investments and the prospect of increased production in the next year or so, the share price could really start to take off. There is some risk that the market finds issues with green hydrogen in practice, but for the moment I think it's a viable form of clean energy for the future. 2) Greencoat Renewables (LSE:GRP) Another company that fits the bill is Greencoat Renewables. I think this is a no-brainer buy not for share price growth, but rather for dividend income in my portfolio. The company invests in wind and other renewable energy projects in Europe, with the aim of distributing returns via dividends. Currently the dividend yield sits at 5.22%, with the share price up 1% over the past year… I like the fact that Greencoat has projects in different countries in its portfolio. Although there is a lot of exposure in Ireland, it also has projects in France, Spain, Finland, and Sweden… I do know that getting wind projects up and running can be very expensive. This might make it tough for Greencoat to step up to the next level as private investors might favour cheaper green energy options. However, I think there is enough funding already in this space to ensure the dividends stay generous and consistent.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 2 Australian tech stock picks Now to an Australian article that could be of interest to global investors. It's titled A top fund manager has been buying these ASX tech shares after the market selloff. It's by James Mickleboro and appeared on fool.com.au. Here are some quotes from Mr. Mickleboro. Note, Bigtincan is a tech company billing itself as a ‘sales enablement platform.' Now the quotes. “1) Bigtincan Holdings Ltd (ASX: BTH) According to a change of interests of substantial holder notice, Australian Ethical Investment Limited (ASX: AEF), has taken advantage of recent weakness in the Bigtincan share price to increase its stake. The notice reveals that the fund manager has picked up over 8.5 million shares since its last notice. This has lifted its holding in the sales enablement platform provider to a total of ~55.8 million shares, which is the equivalent of a 10.15% stake. With the Bigtincan share price down by almost 50% since the start of the year, it appears as though Australian Ethical sees this as a buying opportunity. 2) Nitro Software Ltd (ASX: NTO) Another change of interests of substantial holder notice reveals that Australian Ethical has also been buying this document productivity software company's shares. The fund manager has increased its stake by ~2.5 million shares to a total of just over 17.7 million shares. This represents a stake of 7.29%... Once again, with the Nitro share price down 46% in 2022, its analysts appear to believe this has created a buying opportunity. The team at Goldman Sachs would agree with this. The broker recently reiterated its buy rating and $2.35 price target on the company's shares.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Articles for UK, Australian, and International Investors—again links on this podcast's webpage 1.

Top Water, Energy, Stocks and Funds Now the first article I want to review concerns the water industry — an industry receiving great attention from ethical and sustainable investors. The article's title is 5 'Blue Economy' Stocks and Funds. It's written by Nellie S. Huang and published by Kiplinger. Ms. Huang writes, quote… “The blue economy represents all of the dollars spent to improve the economic growth, health and livelihood of ocean and coastal zone ecosystems… ‘You can't have a healthy planet without a healthy ocean,' says Louise Heaps, the head of sustainable blue economy at the global nonprofit WWF, in London… (The article continues)…We recommend two funds that focus on water sustainability. We also found the stocks of three companies doing interesting things that will help us use water more efficiently or that go some way toward stemming water pollution. (The funds and stocks are…) 1) Fidelity Water Sustainability Fund (FLOWX) (Is) a new, actively managed fund, focuses on firms working on solving the world's water crisis… Industrial machinery is the fund's top industry weighting at a quarter of assets. It's followed by water utilities (17%) and electronic equipment and instruments (15%), as well as 11% of assets each in building products and industrial conglomerates. Roper Technologies (ROP) and American Water Works (AWK) are top holdings. (The fund) has returned 7.9% over the past 12 months. 2) Invesco Water Resources ETF (PHO) Invesco has three water-focused exchange-traded funds (ETFs), but we favor Invesco Water Resources ETF… because it tracks a Nasdaq index that includes companies creating products designed to conserve and purify water. Invesco Water Resources ETF is similar to Fidelity Water Sustainability Fund in that its largest asset concentrations are in machinery (27%) and water utilities (20%). However, it also has a substantial 16% invested in life sciences tools and services. Waters Corp. (WAT) and American Water Works (AWK) top the portfolio. The fund has gained 9.4% over the past 12 months. 3) Tetra Tech (TTEK) Is an engineering and consulting firm has big roles in many sustainable areas, including water management. For instance, the company helped a Kentucky sewer system authority save $200 million from 2006 to date by building a high-tech, real-time system to monitor and manage sewer system overflow during periods of heavy rain… Stifel analyst Noelle Dilts recommends the blue economy stock. ‘We believe the company is well positioned to benefit from strong secular drivers in water and environmental services, with 85% [or more] of revenues tied to these markets,' she says. Analysts expect the company… to deliver annual earnings growth of 9% in 2022 and 8% in 2023. 4) Danimer Scientific (DNMR) The ocean is home to five plastic islands of floating trash; one is roughly twice the size of Texas. Danimer Scientific could help reduce that. It is developing a kind of plastic that is 100% biodegradable and compostable… Danimer Scientific… had its initial public offering in December 2020. The company has a $409 million market value, no profits and just $53 million in revenue over the past 12 months… Jeffries analyst Laurence Alexander rates the stock a Buy, saying that 2022 should be a ‘validation year,' when leading brands adopt its plastic. It already has a number of well-known customers, including PepsiCo (PEP) and Walmart (WMT). 5) Deere (DE) Excessive use of fertilizer can run off into waterways, harming plants, animals and habitats, not to mention water quality. ‘If we could just reduce the use of fertilizer, that would have the biggest positive impact on water,' says Putnam's Collins. Deere's ‘See & Spray Select' technology, installed on a fertilizer sprayer, uses camera technology to identify color differentiation in the field so that only weeds get sprayed with herbicides. The system reduces herbicide use by 77%, on average… Deere has its share of eco-bugaboos, but it's a leader in precision agriculture – technology that helps increase crop yields and minimize the use of fertilizers, two key environmental pluses… Credit Suisse's Jamie Cook rates the stock Outperform.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Top Water, Energy, Stocks and Funds Now back to familiar territory with this article titled These 2 Renewable Energy Stocks Are Too Cheap to Ignore. By Neha Chamaria and Rekha Khandelwal on fool.com. Here are some quotes from the authors on their picks. “1) Neha Chamaria recommends Brookfield Renewable Partners (NYSE: BEP) (The) stock is finally showing some signs of life after languishing in 2021, but there's tremendous upside potential left in the stock at current prices… Brookfield Renewable generated record funds from operations (FFO) in its third quarter, but the market paid no heed. I strongly believed it deserved better and even picked Brookfield Renewable as the only stock I'd buy in 2022 -- if I had to pick one… Brookfield Renewable's total pipeline is… almost three times the size of its existing operational capacity, and it is this pipeline that should set Brookfield Renewable on the next growth path. For now, the company expects to grow funds from operations per unit by 10% or more through 2026… That should translate into regular annual-dividend increases which could be as high as 9% each year. Now combine that with Brookfield Renewable's dividend yield of 3.4% and the potential gains from reinvesting those dividends, and you could well be on your way to making a fortune if you add this renewable dividend growth stock to your portfolio.  2) Rekha Khandelwal likes NextEra Energy Partners (NYSE: NEP) The recent correction in renewable energy stocks due to concerns relating to overvaluation and rising interest rates has contributed to the fall in NextEra Energy Partners' stock. However, the company's fundamentals remain rock-solid… NextEra Energy Partners has certain key advantages over its competitors. To begin with, it is backed by a top utility, NextEra Energy (NEE). (It) has a huge and diversified portfolio of renewable energy assets, and it's been in the renewables business for more than 30 years… NextEra Energy's investment-grade balance sheet helps it raise funds at comparatively lower costs than its smaller peers. NextEra Energy Partners announced a distribution of $0.71 for the fourth quarter, which represents a sequential increase of 3.3%. On an annualized basis, the Q4 distribution grew 15% year over year. NextEra Energy Partners expects a 12% to 15% per-year growth in its distributions through 2024. All in all, this is one renewable energy (stock) that you would surely want to buy right away.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Top Water, Energy, Stocks and Funds Continuing on the theme of renewable energy is this article titled Technical Analyst Sees Lots of Upside Potential in This Alternative Energy Stock. Found on investorideas.com. Source: Clive Maund. Here are some quotes. “Things are going well for solar stock UGE International Ltd. (UGE:TSX.V; UGEIF:OTCQB), which looks like a buy here after what is believed to be prolonged base building since it hit bottom last June after a reactive phase… There is plenty of upside potential from here, as made clear by the position of the MACD indicator.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Top Water, Energy, Stocks and Funds Now to one of the favorite companies by analysts featured in these podcasts. It's covered in this article titled Why Enphase Energy Stock Soared in February. It's by Howard Smith and again found on fool.com. Here are some quotes from Mr. Smith. “The stock of solar system technology company Enphase Energy (NASDAQ: ENPH) had a strong month in February. Two separate catalysts were really responsible for the gains, resulting in an overall jump of 18.7% for the month, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. First, the company reported its fourth-quarter and full-year 2021 results on Feb. 8, prompting a big single-day pop in the stock. The second catalyst wasn't company-specific. Many solar and other alternative-energy stocks have soared in the final days of February as oil prices jumped on the backdrop of war in Ukraine and geopolitical uncertainty.  After having given up some gains made after its strong earnings report, (Its) shares of Enphase soared almost 32% in the last five days of the month. Enphase reported record revenue of $412.7 million for its fourth quarter, bringing full year 2021 revenue to $1.38 billion, jumping nearly 80% over the 2020 total of $774.4 million. After generating $92.7 million in cash flow from operations, and spending $300 million in share repurchases in December, Enphase also ended the year with $1 billion in cash on its balance sheet… For investors, the main concern with Enphase should be its valuation. At its recent market cap of $21.2 billion, shares are trading at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of almost 150. While continued strong growth should bring that down over the next several years, it's an investment that comes with plenty of risk should there be any stumbles in the company's growth rate.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Why Digital Realty Trust is a leading Socially Responsible Dividend (DLR) stock Looking for dividends, then see this article titled Why Digital Realty Trust is a leading Socially Responsible Dividend (DLR) stock. It's authored by Eleon on goodwordnews.com. Now some quotes from the author. “Digital Realty Trust Inc (Symbol: DLR) has been named one of the best socially responsible dividend stocks by Dividend Channel, meaning a stock with above average results. ‘Dividend rank' statistics, including a high yield of 3.5%, as well as being recognized by leading asset managers as being a socially responsible investment… According to ETF Channel's ETF Finder, Digital Realty Trust Inc is a member of the iShares USA ESG Select (SUSA) ETF, representing 0.19% of the fund's underlying holdings, which holds $7,077,077 in DLR shares. The annualized dividend paid by Digital Realty Trust Inc is $4.64/share, currently paid in quarterly installments… DLR operates in the REIT sector.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Recommendations Related to Australian Stocks 1.

More… PODCAST: ESG Bonds and Bond Funds, Stock Alpha, More… Transcript & Links, Episode 19, November 22, 2019 Hello, Ron Robins here. Welcome to podcast episode 19 titled ESG Bonds and Bond Funds, Stock Alpha, More… for November 22, 2019—presented by Investing for the Soul. investingforthesoul.com is your site for vital global ethical and sustainable investing news, commentary, information, and resources. And, Google any terms that are unfamiliar to you. Also, you can find a full transcript, live links to content, and often bonus material to these podcasts at their episodes’ podcast page located at investingforthesoul.com/podcasts. Now to this podcast! ------------------------------------------------------------- ESG Bonds and Bond Funds (1) Usually, when we think of ethical and sustainable investing we almost always think about stocks. But for most investors who prioritize personal values in investing, ESG bonds should also be a significant part of one’s portfolio. So now let’s get a little more into that. Incidentally, later in this podcast, I’ll talk more about some new ESG stock recommendations and about ESG stock alpha! That is, how terrifically well ESG stocks are doing! One interesting but overlooked debt asset class for ethical and sustainable investing, particularly in the US, are non-profit municipal ESG bonds. Karen Hube in an illuminating article titled, Future Returns: ESG Investing in Nonprofit Municipal Debt provides insight into this. The article appeared in Barron’s PENTA pages. In her article, Ms. Hube quotes Buck Stevenson, managing director, and portfolio manager at Silvercrest Asset Management Group in New York. She quotes him as saying that “Municipal bonds issued by small nonprofit groups working to bring about change in their communities can satisfy investors’ growing appetite for impact investing ideas while paying yields ranging from 4.5% to 6%... Community hospitals, charter schools, and organizations providing mental health care and veterans services are among the groups that are typically structured as nonprofit organizations with 501c(3) status, and can issue debt to raise funds for improvements, new facilities, equipment, and other needs.” End quote And interest received by investors in this type of debt in the US is often exempt from personal taxes. So, real after-tax yields can sometimes be pretty good! ------------------------------------------------------------- ESG Bonds and Bond Funds (2) Another article on ESG bonds and bond funds is titled How Advisors Use ESG Bond ETFs by Lara Crigger on the ETF.com site. Ms. Crigger interviews several ESG analysts and portfolio managers to get their picks on ETFs comprised of ESG bonds. She first quotes Johann Klaassen, EVP & CIO of Horizons Sustainable Financial Services. Mr. Klaassen likes the VanEck Vectors Green Bond ETF (GRNB), the Nuveen ESG U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF (NUBD), the Sage ESG Intermediate Credit ETF (GUDB), and the Invesco Taxable Municipal Bond ETF (BAB). Another interviewee, Maya Philipson, Principal of Robasciotti & Philipson recommends the PIMCO Intermediate Municipal Bond Active ETF (MUNI). Then, Scott Arnold, Partner & Portfolio Manager at IMPACTfolio talks about how he also likes the Nuveen ESG U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF (NUBD). And on a more riskier level, Mr. Arnold likes the new Nuveen ESG High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (NUHY). ------------------------------------------------------------- ESG Bonds and Bond Funds (3) Regarding riskier ESG bonds and bond funds, ETFtrends.com ran an article titled High Yield is Making Its Way into ESG Investing by Ben Hernandez. He writes “The search for yield is certainly a global phenomenon given the low rates offered in government debt around the world. It opens the doors for ESG funds to shine by offering high yield bond options as in the case of BlackRock’s iShares € High Yield Corp Bond ESG UCITS ETF (EHYD) and the iShares $ High Yield Corp Bond ESG UCITS ETF (DHYD).” End quote. The article also has the following quote, “’As evidence increasingly shows that sustainability-related factors can help investors build more resilient portfolios, we are moving into an era where sustainable investing will be the standard way to invest,’ said Meaghan Muldoon, head of sustainable investing EMEA at BlackRock.” End quote. It should be noted that applying ESG and sustainability criteria to high yield bonds does have a chance to improve the quality and performance of a high yield debt in a portfolio. However, generally, high yield ESG bonds are still riskier than better-rated bonds. ------------------------------------------------------------- ESG Bonds and Bond Funds (4) For a deeper inside look into ESG bonds and bond funds of the high yield variety, I refer you to this article, Looking under the hood of an ESG-focused high-yield bond fund. It’s by Jeff Benjamin at InvestmentNews. Mr. Benjamin interviews Tim Leary, lead manager of the RBC BlueBay High Yield Bond Fund (RGHYX). The fund’s portfolio consists of high yield ESG bonds. Mr. Leary commenting on his fund says that “The $54 million fund, which was launched in 2012, has an expense ratio of 58 basis points and a five-star rating from Morningstar. It has gained 13.7% from the start of the year, beating both the benchmark and the category average.” End quote Additionally, he does have this warning about his and other high yield funds – euphemistically often called ‘junk bond’ funds. Quote, “The leveraged finance markets and high-yield markets in general are a risky place to invest because they tend to be more opaque.” End quote. Furthermore, Mr. Leary says about his fund that “From a sector standpoint, we tend to be overweight financials, as well as financial services companies, cable and media names. Both from an ESG perspective but also from an overall view, we are materially underweight energy, metals and mining, and utilities.” End quote. Incidentally, you should know that there’s a big debate about greenwashing when it comes to ESG bonds and bond funds, most especially of the high yield variety. So, talk to your advisor before investing in them. ------------------------------------------------------------- Stock Alpha (1) Turning our attention back to ESG stock alpha, John Csiszar outlines 25 Investments That Make You Feel Good While You Make Money. His article was reposted on Yahoo! Finance from GOBankingRates. Most of his picks are typical of what you might find in most ESG stock indexes and funds. His picks are, in alphabetical order: 3M (MMM); Aflac (AFL); Avnet (AVT); Best Buy (BBY); Colgate-Palmolive (CL); Kimberly-Clark (KMB); Microsoft (MSFT); PepsiCo (PEP); Royal Caribbean Cruises (RCL); Salesforce.com (CRM); US Bancorp (USB); Voya Financial (VOYA); Weyerhaeuser (WY); Wyndham Hotels & Resorts (WH); Hilton (HLT); Beyond Meat (BYND); Vanda Pharmaceuticals (VNDA); Tesla (TSLA); Ecolab (ECL)’ Starbucks (SBUX); Fluor (FLR); Texas Instruments (TXN); UPS (UPS); International Paper (IP); Intel (INTC) ------------------------------------------------------------- Stock Alpha (2) The following two articles talk about how our trend towards vegetarianism and veganism are having on food industry trends and food-related stocks. The first article is Americans, especially millennials and Gen Z, are embracing plant-based meat products by Sheril Kirshenbaum and Douglas Buhler on the GreenBiz site. These researchers find that “With debate over the impacts of meat production intensifying, we have been tracking U.S. attitudes related to plant-based alternatives through Michigan State University’s Food Literacy and Engagement Poll. The results reveal a growing appetite for plant-based meat among consumers, especially millennials and Generation Z… Our survey found that during the previous 12 months, 35 percent of respondents had consumed plant-based meat alternatives. Of that group, 90 percent said they would do so again. Among those who had not yet eaten plant-based meat alternatives, 42 percent were willing to try them, while 30 percent of that group remained unwilling. We also identified very significant generational differences in attitudes. Nearly half (48 percent) of respondents under 40 were already eating plant-based meats, while just 27 percent of those aged 40 and over had tried these products.” End quote. The second post comes from Interactive Investor with the title Why this $5bn stock is not just for vegans by Rodney Hobson. Mr. Hobson focuses on the extraordinary stock alpha of Beyond Meat’s stock price. It soared from its IPO price of $25 to about 10 times that and is now back to around $80. His comment, “There is no shortage of rivals making vegan alternatives to meat and competition is likely to intensify. However, those companies with a solid base and proven track record are ahead of the game. Beyond Meat has been going for 10 years now.” End quote. ------------------------------------------------------------- Stock Alpha (3) And finally, here’s a story to cheer every ethical and sustainable investor! It’s by Brendan Coffey – who I’ve previously quoted talking about the remarkable stock alpha that ESG stocks are having this year. Writing for Forbes.com, his post is titled, ESG Stocks Are Beating The S&P By 45% This Year. Yup, he says that “ESG funds are raking in the dough in 2019, pulling in $13.5 billion in new investor money in the first three quarters of the year, according to a recent report by Morningstar. But how is the ‘typical’ ESG portfolio doing? It’s handily besting the S&P 500, returning more than 32% to the S&P’s 22%, through October. That’s a 45% outperformance.” End quote. So, as one famous stock market commentator says, ‘stay with the drill!’ ------------------------------------------------------------- Well, these are my top news stories and tips for ethical and sustainable investors over the past two weeks.

Owning and investing in the stock market requires that you believe that there are companies making money whose profits are going to go higher in the future. Many people think you would want to buy a stock at $7 and wait for it to raise $700 to get rich. However, this rarely happens. Instead, you should buy stock from companies that are already doing well, that are earning billions per quarter and annually. When they are earning high revenues, wall street rewards them with a higher stock price.  There are more an more billionaires today because there are many companies who are doing extremely well, and their executives and investors are benefiting.  For example, the company Oracle (ORCL) was founded by a man named Larry Ellison, who is now worth 43 billion dollars. Oracle has seen consistent revenue growth year after year. As the founder, Larry Ellison owns a number of shares of the stock, and it has made him a billionaire.    When someone is a great innovator and they have the good fortune to be backed by wall street, they are given a certain number of shares of their company before it goes public. For the sake of the example, let’s say that number is 1 million shares priced at $1. When the company goes public, the shares are valued and sold at $40. Now, that innovator is worth $40 million. You can see how someone might become a billionaire, if they were given or purchased 50 million shares of a stock at $10 before it went public.  Being on the inside before a company goes public can make you a billionaire. However, you can still do well buy purchasing shares of a company after it has gone public and has proven it’s consistent revenue. In The Wealthy Investor program we never purchase IPO’s because want to wait for the company to prove itself and its revenue first.  Pepsico (PEP)’s CEO is named Indra Nooyi. She is worth 144 million dollars because as a part of her pay package she is issued a certain number of shares of Pepsi. She has not made it to the billionaire realm yet mainly because there is more money to be made in software these days than there is in soft drinks.    Jeff Bezos who founded Amazon (AMZN) is worth over 50 billion dollars because Amazon’s stock has gone from $200 to $700 in the last five years. The higher the share price, the more his net worth will grow.  Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft is worth 76 billion dollars. When Microsoft started there was a lot of running room for software companies. Shareholders who bought into the company after the revenue started rising were rewarded handsomely.    If you are not in on the ground floor of a company, it probably won’t making you a billionaire. However, investing into companies who are continuously growing their revenues can make you a millionaire. First, you have to get a financial education. Guessing is not investing. Guessing that a company’s stock could go higher is a losing strategy. You must learn to follow revenue.  If you want a shot at becoming a billionaire, you need to follow an investing plan that has been proven to work. Here's a tip from The Wealthy Investor program: When you start buying stocks, buy in small increments. In The Wealthy Investor Program we call this building a position. If I wanted to buy shares of Oracle, Amazon, Pepsi, or Microsoft, I would start by purchasing 10 share. Then I would wait for the stock to go up five dollars to prove to me that it is worth purchasing more shares.  For more stock market tips and an investing plan that works, visit TheWealthyInvestor.net today!
