Marco Seltenreich ist passionierter Selbstdenker, Buchautor und bei der Strabag Real Estate für Kommunikation und Pressearbeit zuständig. Norbert Peter ist Kabarettist, Kommunikationstrainer und Autor. Ich bin featuring. Marco und Norbert sind Autoren vom Buch "Offline", das launig in die 70er, 80er und 90er zurückblickt. Über 100 Begriffe aus dem deutschsprachigen Raum haben in diesem umfangreich bebilderten Werk zusammengefunden, ein Strong Buy für alle, die ohne digitale Omnipräsenz groß geworden sind oder einfach diese Zeit cool finden und sich vom Retrohype mitreißen lassen. Auf der Offline-DNA basiert auch das Kabarettprogramm "Fit mit Amalie", hier ist Marco vor allem Gagschreiber und Norbert vor allem Darsteller, dies mit mehreren Rollen: Amalie Kratochwill und Josef Hartlieb. Also sind wir drei für den ersten Offline-Podcast sogar zu fünft. Und es geht um viel: Am Beginn die Jingle-Überforderung, dann u.a. Geschirrspüler, Wickie, Dr. Sommer, Steve Martin, Heinz Conrads, K.I.T.T., auch die Strabag, den ATX, den Coinpusher, Schulschikurse, PEZ, ohne Handy gross aufs Klo, Tommy Polster, Chuck Norris und Erotik im Universal-Versand. Tipp an alle VCM-Starter oder Besucher: Am besten nebenbei hören, dann vergehen die ersten Kilometer oder das Warten auf das Vorbeilaufen des/der Anzufeuernden mit einem Lächeln. Und ein Tipp ist dabei.

World's Most Ethical Companies. And… see six companies that have been honored for 19 years! Plus, terrific alternative energy picks. By Ron Robins, MBA Transcript & Links, Episode 150, March 21, 2025 Hello, Ron Robins here. Welcome to my podcast episode 150, published March 21, 2025, titled “World's Most Ethical Companies. And...” It's presented by Investing for the Soul. Investingforthesoul.com is your site for vital global ethical and sustainable investing mentoring, news, commentary, information, and resources. Remember that you can find a full transcript and links to content – including stock symbols and bonus material – on this episode's podcast page at investingforthesoul.com/podcasts. Also, a reminder. I do not evaluate any of the stocks or funds mentioned in these podcasts, and I don't receive any compensation from anyone covered in these podcasts. Furthermore, I will reveal any 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 articles and more company and stock information. ------------------------------------------------------------- World's Most Ethical Companies. And... Now, The 2025 World's Most Ethical Companies® listing by Ethisphere is where I'm beginning this podcast. It's always a great listing to review for ethical and sustainable investors. The following information is gleaned from Ethisphere's website and has been re-ordered for presentation here. Also, note that companies are not ranked. So, some quotes. “The World's Most Ethical Companies is an annual recognition… Earning this recognition involves a comprehensive application and evaluation of your Ethics and Compliance program through Ethisphere's proprietary Ethics Quotient® (EQ), which assesses a company's ethics and compliance program, culture, and governance practices. The listed 2025 World's Most Ethical Companies Honorees outperformed a comparable index of global companies by 7.8 percent from January 2020 to 2025. In 2025, 136 organizations are recognized for their unwavering commitment to business integrity. The honorees span 19 countries and 44 industries, and include 11 first-time honorees and 6 organizations that have been named to the honoree list 19 times, marking every year since its inception. The six organizations that have been recognized by Ethisphere as honorees for 19 consecutive years, since the inception of the World's Most Ethical Companies® list in 2007, are: Aflac (AFL), Ecolab (ECL), International Paper (IP), Kao Corporation (KAOOY), Milliken & Company (private), and PepsiCo (PEP).” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Alternative Energy Stocks (1) This next article takes us to our ethical and sustainable investors' favorite sector. It's titled 4 Alternative Energy Stocks to Buy Amid Growing Investment Trends. It's by Aparajita Dutta and seen on finance.yahoo.com, though originally published on zacks.com. Here are some quotes from her article on her picks. “1. OPAL Fuels Inc. (OPAL) Based in Boston, MA, the company is a vertically integrated renewable fuels platform involved in the production and distribution of renewable natural gas for the heavy-duty truck market… The company currently sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). 2.

This is a good review article of the best ones for US residents. It's titled Best ESG ETFs: Top funds for socially responsible investing. It's by Brian Baker and found on msn.com. Here is some of what he has to say. “1. Vanguard ESG U.S. Stock ETF (ESGV) 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): 15.7 percent Expense ratio: 0.09 percent 2. iShares Global Clean Energy ETF (ICLN) seeks to track the performance of an index of global stocks from the clean energy sector. 5-year return (annualized): 7.3 percent Expense ratio: 0.41 percent 3. iShares ESG MSCI USA Leaders ETF (SUSL) gives investors exposure to large- and mid-cap stocks that score highly on ESG issues relative to their sector peers. 5-year return (annualized): 9.7 percent Expense ratio: 0.49 percent 4. iShares ESG Aware MSCI USA ETF (ESGU) 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. 5-year return (annualized): 15.7 percent Expense ratio: 0.15 percent” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Top 2025 ESG Stock and Fund Picks (2) This next article arises from some new original research. It's titled Top Stocks Widely Owned by Small-Cap ESG Funds by Frances Aufderheide and can be seen on morningstar.com. Now a few quotes from the article. “In the United States, small-cap stocks range from a market cap of $2.9 billion to $11.2 billion, which will be the focus of this exercise. [Learn more about Morningstar Categories by downloading the US Fund Category methodology paper.] We compiled the holdings of the oldest share classes of all US sustainable small-cap funds. Next, we put the top 200 stocks that are commonly owned in a theoretical portfolio. Then, we calculated what the average weight of each security would be if this portfolio held all 200 stocks. We did the same with traditional funds, defining the universe as the oldest share class of small-cap funds, excluding sustainable funds. We found five stocks owned exclusively by small-cap sustainable funds. Source: Morningstar Direct. Weights and Data as of Dec. 3, 2024. 1. Aptar Group (ATR) Morningstar ESG Risk Rating Assessment: Negligible Total Return Year-to-Date (Month-End): 41.30 Price/Fair Value: 1.05 Moat: Narrow ‘The company specializes in various drug dispensing solutions including nasal spray inhalers and elastomer components for injectable drugs, high-end fragrance pumps, and food dispensing closures.' ‘We think the firm's outlook is strong from a longer-term perspective…' —Jay Lee, Morningstar Senior Equity Analyst ‘The company's carbon footprint is affected by the nature of its operations and the source of energy used to power these operations.' —Morningstar Sustainalytics 2. Wyndham Hotels & Resorts (WH) Morningstar ESG Risk Rating Assessment: Medium Total Return Year-to-Date (Month-End): 23.52 Price/Fair Value: 1.05 Moat: Narrow ‘We believe Wyndham's moat is illustrated by its enduring unit growth demand from third-party owners, guest satisfaction ranking of its brands, room and loyalty scale, and contract length of franchisee relationships.' —Dan Wasiolek, Morningstar Senior Equity Analyst ‘To maintain its ongoing operations, the company uses large quantities of water. Increasingly stringent carbon regulations and energy efficiency requirements could lead to higher energy prices, larger associated costs for the company and compliance issues.' —Morningstar Sustainalytics 3. Clearway Energy (CWEN) Morningstar ESG Risk Rating Assessment: Severe Total Return Year-to-Date (Month-End): 12.00 ‘Clearway Energy Inc is a publicly-traded energy infrastructure investor with a focus on investments in clean energy and owner of modern, sustainable and long-term contracted assets across North America…' ‘Although the company provides some ESG disclosure, its overall ESG reporting is not in accordance with leading reporting standards' —Morningstar Sustainalytics 4. Commerce Bancshares (CBSH) Morningstar ESG Risk Rating Assessment: Medium Total Return Year-to-Date (Month-End): 39.60 Moat: Narrow ‘Commerce Bancshares Inc., is a $22 billion regional bank that provides a diversified line of financial services, including business and personal banking, wealth management, financial planning, and investments through its affiliated companies.' ‘The company's product and service portfolio, as well as its customer base triggers exposure to quality and safety issues.' —Morningstar Sustainalytics 5. Darling Ingredients (DAR) Morningstar ESG Risk Rating Assessment: Low Total Return Year-to-Date (Month-End): (18.68) ‘Darling Ingredients Inc develops and manufactures sustainable ingredients for customers in the pharmaceutical, food, pet food, fuel, and fertilizer industries. “Growing consumer demand for healthier and more environmentally friendly foods, including low-fat and plant-based proteins, exposes Darling to potential customer loss should it fail to adapt its portfolio to this trend.' —Morningstar Sustainalytics.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Top 2025 ESG Stock and Fund Picks (3) This next article is written by an analyst we have repeatedly featured on this podcast. Her name is Aparajita Dutta, and she hails from Zacks. The article is titled 3 Renewable Energy Stocks Poised for Explosive Growth in 2025. Here are some quotes by Ms. Dutta on each of her picks. “These stocks, with a favorable Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), have gained more than 25% so far this year… these can be expected to continue their rally in 2025 as well… 1. Constellation Energy (CEG) this company delivers electric power, natural gas, and energy management services across the United States.

Free Stock Analysis Report” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Top 2025 ESG Stock and Fund Picks (4) This next article features some well-known ESG stocks. It's titled 3 ESG Stocks That Align Profits With Purpose. It was written by Rjkumari Saxena and was seen on stocknews.com. Here is some of what Ms. Saxena has to say in her article. “1. Salesforce, Inc. (CRM - Get Rating) provides Customer Relationship Management technology that brings companies and customers together worldwide. Its service includes sales to store data, monitor leads and progress, forecast opportunities, gain insights through analytics and artificial intelligence, and deliver quotes, contracts, and invoices… Salesforce, Inc.'s robust outlook is reflected in its POWR Ratings.

NextEra Energy's POWR Ratings reflect its bright prospects.” End quotes ------------------------------------------------------------- Top 2025 ESG Stock and Fund Picks (5) Now infrastructure stocks are often overlooked by ethical and sustainable investors. However, they are worth looking at. See this article titled Meet the High-Performing Infrastructure Stock That's Crucial to Supporting This Massive $3 Trillion Megatrend. By Matt DiLallo, found on fool.com. Here are some quotes from the article. “One company that is absolutely critical to building this infrastructure is Quanta Services (NYSE: PWR). It's the industry leader in providing specialized infrastructure solutions… Quanta Services provides specialized infrastructure solutions to the utilities, renewable energy, technology, communications, pipeline, and energy industries. Its client list is a who's who of industry leaders in those respective sectors… Increasing infrastructure investment is driving strong growth for Quanta Services this year. It delivered another quarter of double-digit growth in the third quarter. Its revenue rose from $5.6 billion to $6.5 billion, while its adjusted earnings increased from $2.24 per share to $2.72. It also generated $539.5 million in cash flow, pushing its year-to-date total to nearly $1.4 billion (with almost $980 million in free cash). That strong performance has helped drive a more than 50% increase in its stock price this year.” End quotes ------------------------------------------------------------- Additional articles not covered due to time constraints 1.

(1) I'm beginning this podcast episode with a great article titled The Top Stocks Widely Owned by ESG Funds. It's by Frances Aufderheide and found on morningstar.com. Here are some quotes from the article. “We found five stocks owned exclusively by large-cap sustainable funds in the industrials, materials, and healthcare sectors. We describe them below, with insight from Morningstar analysts and Sustainalytics. Source: Morningstar Direct. Weights as of Oct. 31, 2024. Data as of Nov. 5, 2024. 1. Ecolab (ECL) Morningstar Rating: 2 Stars Morningstar ESG Risk Rating Assessment: 3 Globes Price/Fair Value: 1.14 Total Return Year to Date (Month-End): 24.75 ‘As the global leader in the cleaning and sanitation industry, Ecolab provides products that help its hospitality, foodservice, and life-sciences customers do laundry, wash dishes, maintain clean manufacturing environments, and ensure regulatory compliance. With unmatched scale and a solid razor-and-blade business model, Ecolab's competitive advantages are firmly in place.' ‘Ecolab's largest growth driver over the next decade will be the water business, which generates the majority of revenue in the industrial segment. During the quarter, water revenue grew 3% versus the prior-year quarter on an organic basis, excluding currency movements.' —Seth Goldstein, Morningstar Strategist 2. Agilent Technologies (A) Morningstar Rating: 4 Stars Morningstar ESG Risk Rating Assessment: 4 Globes Price/Fair Value: 0.91 Total Return Year to Date (Month-End): (5.76) Agilent provides instruments, software and services for laboratories. ‘Agilent offers differentiated technology that is protected by various intangible assets, including patents, copyrights, and trademarks.

Xylem (XYL) Morningstar Rating: 3 Stars Morningstar ESG Risk Rating Assessment: 3 Globes Price/Fair Value: 1.07 Total Return Year to Date (Month-End): 7.43 ‘Xylem is one of the leading water technology companies in the world.

Grainger (GWW) Morningstar Rating: 1 Star Morningstar ESG Risk Rating Assessment: 4 Globes Price/Fair Value: 1.66 Total Return Year to Date (Month-End): 34.57 W.W. Grainger distributes maintenance, repair, and operations products to more than 4.5 million customers. ‘We've raised our fair value estimate for narrow-moat-rated Grainger by 12% to $660 per share as we've become more confident of the firm's ability to maintain long-term operating margin above 14%. Even so, the current stock price remains well above our revised fair value estimate.' ‘Our confidence (of a narrow moat) is rooted in Grainger's ability to fend off competitive pressures from both new and existing players in the maintenance, repair, and operations market.' —Brian Bernard, Morningstar Senior Director 5. Veralto (VLTO) Morningstar Rating: None Morningstar ESG Risk Rating Assessment: 3 Globes Total Return Year to Date (Month-End): 24.56 Veralto provides technology solutions to improve the quality and reliability of water and product innovations through a suite of brands. ‘This tax-free spinoff is just the latest example of Danaher's business pruning.' —Julie Utterback, Morningstar Senior Equity Analyst” End quotes.

(2) The second article today reviews a company that is an old favorite of ethical and sustainable investors. The article is titled Buy First Solar Stock on the Dip. Solar Energy Will Be Too Good an Opportunity for President-Elect Trump to Pass Up. It's by James Brumley and found on fool.com. Here are a few of his comments on First Solar stock. “First Solar (FSLR) Investors suspect pro-oil President-elect Donald Trump could also prove unsupportive of renewable energy. In fact, most clean energy stocks are down since his Nov. 5 election on this very worry. First Solar has been no exception to the industrywide sell-off. This weakness, however, is also a buying opportunity for anyone interested in owning a piece of the solar panel maker, or in adding exposure to the solar industry as a whole. The solar power movement is too big and too well-developed for Donald Trump to bring to a halt now. First Solar is also well-positioned to sidestep one of the few meaningful actions the president-elect could take to disrupt the solar industry's growth. Solar is just too competitive to stop now Data gathered by Wood Mackenzie and reported by the U.S. Department of Energy indicates that utility-scale solar power is now in line with the cost of natural gas and coal-fired power… The irony? Largely because it's the cheapest means of adding utility-scale power production there, solar is growing like wildfire in several states like Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas that picked Trump to be president during the recently ended election cycle. To the extent voters picked Trump for economic reasons, they'll certainly appreciate cheaper electricity and its positive impact on the economy. The 2022 passage of the Inflation Reduction Act is admittedly fueling much of this growth, by offering taxpayers a tax credit of up to 30% of the cost of a solar power system. The IRA also incentivizes utility-scale solar power projects as well as the manufacturing of solar panels themselves… But tariffs? While unspecific as well as far from being certain (Trump argues the mere threat of tariffs is enough), First Solar is mostly immune to their impact anyway. Although the company requires some imported materials that may be subject to such tariffs, it's an American manufacturer mostly serving the North American market, where the company believes over 90% of its immediate revenue opportunities await… Data source: StockAnalysis.com. Chart by author. Give at least partial credit for this brewing growth to First Solar's Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) photovoltaic panels. Although they make its design and production processes more complicated and more costly than that of more conventional silicon panels, this technology proves more durable while at the same time delivering more power. Utility-scale buyers are increasingly seeing these high-performance panels as an investment rather than an expense, as they further lower the effective per-kilowatt cost of solar power… The market's overestimating the risk, and underestimating First Solar Now all of a sudden First Solar's stumble since early November and its much bigger 37% pullback from June's peak looks like an entry opportunity. The analyst community agrees, anyway. Undeterred by political rhetoric and handwringing, most of them still consider First Solar stock a strong buy, sporting a consensus price target of $280.79. That's almost 50% above the stock's present price.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Consider These Top ESG Stocks! (3) This next article, though from Australia, might interest many investors outside of that wonderful country. It's titled The Ethical Investor: These three ESG award-winning ASX companies show how it's done. It's by Eddy Sunarto found on ntnews.com.au. Here are some of what Mr. Sunarto says about his picks. “1. Orica (ASX:ORI) was named Australia's most sustainable company in the 2024 Australian Financial Review Sustainability Leaders awards, taking home top honours for its significant environmental impact. The company, a global leader in commercial explosives, was recognised for its groundbreaking emissions abatement project at its Kooragang Island plant near Newcastle, NSW. This project is the largest of its kind in the Australian chemicals sector, reducing emissions by 45% at the site and cutting national chemical industry emissions by 11%... The judges believe Orica's efforts have not only addressed environmental challenges but have also driven economic growth, injecting millions into the local economy while future-proofing critical manufacturing capabilities for industries such as mining, agriculture and healthcare. The company's commitment to sustainability is also reflected in its ambitious climate targets, aiming for net zero emissions by 2050. 2. Sims Metal Management (ASX:SGM) an Australian-based global recycling company with a 106-year history, was named the most sustainable corporation of 2024 by Corporate Knights, topping its Global 100 list. Known for its role in the circular economy, Sims has been integral in reducing carbon emissions by recycling metals like steel, copper, and aluminium – which are crucial in industries like electric vehicles, wind turbines and solar panels. In 2023 alone, the company's efforts saved 13 million tonnes of CO₂, equivalent to removing nearly three million cars from the road, according to its reports. Sims' approach to sustainability extends beyond recycling, with ambitious goals to transition to renewable energy in its operations by 2025 and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050… The company is investing in advanced technologies, like automated sorting systems and AI robots, to improve the efficiency of its recycling processes. Although these innovations may not always attract the same attention as large renewable energy projects, CEO Stephen Mikkelsen said that metal recycling plays a vital role in decarbonising industries and contributing to a sustainable future. 3. Australian Vintage (ASX:AVG) won the 2024 Global Drinks Intel ESG Award for Sustainable Wine Producer, which was announced in September. The award recognised the company's strong commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles, despite current challenges within the Australian wine industry. The company had earlier achieved B Corp certification in February, making it one of only three Australian wine companies with this status. Australian Vintage's ESG strategy focuses on three key pillars: 'Thriving People', 'Nurture Nature', and 'Meaningful Growth'. The company said all these are supported by measurable, verifiable performance… The judges praised Australian Vintage for not just making ESG commitments, but for quantifying and achieving real, impactful results.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Additional Articles of Interest 1.

Her work features regularly in these podcasts and is found on zacks.com. Here are some quotes from her article. “1. Talen Energy Corporation (TLN) Based in Houston, TX, the company owns and operates power infrastructure, principally in the United States. On Sept. 5, 2024, Talen Energy announced that its board of directors has approved the upsizing of its previously announced share repurchase program, increasing the remaining capacity to $1.25 billion through the fourth quarter of 2026.

It's titled 3 Sustainable Investing ETFs for Ethical Portfolios and by Abhishek Bhuyan appearing on stocknews.com. Here's a brief quote from the article. “Sustainable investing involves aligning investments with ethical and environmental values, focusing on companies that meet ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) criteria. Large-cap blends are a good choice because they offer stability, diversification, and long-term growth potential. Companies with solid track records and ESG practices can provide strong returns while minimizing risk. To that end, investors could look to invest in sustainable large-cap ETFs such as the iShares MSCI KLD 400 Social ETF (DSI - Get Rating), Vanguard ESG U.S. Stock ETF (ESGV - Get Rating), and iShares ESG Aware MSCI USA ETF (ESGU - Get Rating) for an ethical portfolio.” End quote. ------------------------------------------------------------- Ending Comment These are my top news stories with their stock and fund tips for this podcast “Sustainable ETFs for Sustainable Investors.

Wolfspeed (NYSE: WOLF) is one of Wall Street's ultimate battleground stocks. As the world's largest provider of silicon carbide, it supplies one of the most necessary materials for next-generation Electric Vehicles. Based on the size of its potential market and the long-term supply agreements with large automakers, its stock appears to be extremely undervalued. Yet Wolfspeed is also facing some serious headwinds, specifically in government-supported financing to construct its fabs and lagging demand for EVs from consumers. It's fallen short of its explicitly-stated guidance, which has hurt its credibility with investors. So is Wolfspeed's stock a howling buy or a whimpering sell? In today's episode, 7investing Simon Erickson describes several of the opportunities and challenges that Wolfspeed faces. He discusses several financial and operational updates, the crucial difference between "design-ins" and "design-wins", and what investors should be watching most closely. 7investing issues Conviction Ratings for all of the stocks in our coverage universe.

It's titled 3 Sustainable Investing ETFs for Eco-Conscious Investors and it's by Shweta Kumari. It was seen on stocknews.com. Here are some quotes. “1. American Century Sustainable Growth ETF (ESGY - Get Rating) This fund targets the U.S. public equity markets, focusing on companies across various sectors, including growth and value stocks of large-cap companies, specifically those within the market capitalization range of the Russell 1000 Growth Index. American Century Sustainable Growth ETF emphasizes investing in socially conscious businesses that actively promote environmental responsibility.

It's titled 7 Best Green Mutual Funds to Fight Climate Change and is by Jeff Reeves and reviewed by John Divine. It's found on money.usnews.com. Here are some brief highlights on each of the picks from the article. “1. Parnassus Core Equity Fund (PRBLX) Assets under management: $30.1 billion Expense ratio: 0.82% Minimum investment: $2,000 The Parnassus Core Equity Fund is the leader among green mutual funds when it comes to assets under management. That said, it's not perfect or particularly flashy. It… is designed to be a core large-cap fund as much as a green mutual fund. That said, investment manager Parnassus has made a name for itself by linking traditional fundamental analysis with an overlay of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors… Parnassus Core Equity Fund is well established with the largest asset tally of this group, making it a logical starting place for many investors. 2. Calvert Equity Fund (CSIEX) Assets under management: $6.8 billion Expense ratio: 0.91% Minimum investment: $1,000 Calvert is an investment adviser that prioritizes ESG in its approach, with a 40-year track record of ‘responsible' investing that takes into account sustainability and environmental factors, among other criteria… The fund is not designed to hold solar stocks or wind turbine manufacturers but rather large-cap domestic stocks that rank highly for their internal programs such as purchasing carbon offsets or building LEED-certified headquarters. Still, if you want to look beyond conventional index funds, then [this fund] is a good green mutual fund to consider. 3. Putnam Sustainable Leaders Fund (PNOPX) Assets under management: $6.6 billion Expense ratio: 0.92% Minimum investment: None This Putnam offering is another of the largest and most respected sustainable investing options out there. It's also a focused… as it ‘invests in companies that have demonstrated leadership in key sustainability issues that are financially material to their business context,' according to official documentation from its manager Franklin Templeton. One notable downside that investors should consider before buying in: There are some high front-end costs associated with [the fund], which has a maximum initial charge of 5.75%. 4. Amana Growth Fund (AMAGX) Assets under management: $2.8 billion Expense ratio: 0.91% Minimum investment: $100 Very accessible with just a $100 minimum investment, this Amana Growth fund from Saturna Capital is incredibly unique in that it bills itself as ‘halal' – or fitting the religious requirements of Islam… That means you won't find businesses that focus on alcohol, pornography or gambling. And interestingly enough, you won't find a penny in finance because strict Islamic law prohibits demanding interest on loans. 5. Fidelity U.S. Sustainability Index Fund (FITLX) Assets under management: $4.2 billion Expense ratio: 0.11% Minimum investment: None A cost-effective option, Fidelity U.S. Sustainability Index Fund… is a sustainability-focused mutual fund that charges just a fraction of what the other funds on this list charge. It is also the most wide-ranging of the green mutual funds so far, with 285 total stocks in its portfolio. That doesn't mean it's all that more diversified, however, as it is weighted by size – so mega-cap stocks like Microsoft (MSFT) and Nvidia Corp. (NVDA) dominate the portfolio. 6. Calvert Small-Cap Fund (CCVAX) Assets under management: $2.9 billion Expense ratio: 1.19% Minimum investment: $1,000 Calvert Small-Cap Fund is definitely the most expensive fund on this list from an annual fee perspective. That's in part because mutual funds generally have higher costs than their exchange-traded cousins, but it's also because this is a boutique offering with an active approach. 7. Parnassus Mid Cap Fund (PARMX) Assets under management: $3 billion Expense ratio: 0.96% Minimum investment: $2,000 With a focus on mid-sized corporations and an average market value of about $30 billion, this investment vehicle offers a way to invest sustainably in established firms but not necessarily duplicate positions you might own in a traditional large-cap fund.

However, buying low and selling high is generally the best approach when buying investments. So, for those of you who favor this approach and are interested in renewable energy stocks, this article is for you. It's titled 3 Renewable Energy Stocks to Buy at 52-Week Lows in July by InvestorPlace and seen on markets.businessinsider.com. Here are some quotes. “While buying stocks that are at their 52-week lows is risky, on the other hand, it could present a massive upside opportunity. Thus, it is important for investors to understand exactly why the stock is down before jumping into buying. For investors looking for cheap green energy, below are the three best renewable energy stocks to buy at an all-time low in July. 1. Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG) specializes in hydrogen fuel systems which are used to replace traditional batteries powered by electricity… Currently, its stock price is almost at an all time low – it dipped to $3.07 per share compared to $12.76 per share just a year ago… The company recently finished deploying 13 hydrogen refueling stations (HRS) in Europe, making Plug Power the largest owner of hydrogen refueling stations with over 250 stations globally. 2. Array Technologies (NASDAQ: ARRY) The stock is down -41.14% year to date… As the largest solar tracker company globally, Array Technologies offers various services including the DuraTrack system, which is a single-axis tracker technology that helps maximize PV panel energy production. Recently, Citigroup upgraded the average one-year price target for Array Technologies to $19.52 per share… 3.

Renewable Energy Stock Picks -- and More, covers investments in renewable energy, Canadian sustainable companies, water investments, women's empowerment, plus… By Ron Robins, MBA Transcript & Links, Episode 134, July 12, 2024 Hello, Ron Robins here. So, welcome to this podcast episode 134 titled “Renewable Energy Stock Picks -- and More.” It's presented by Investing for the Soul. Investingforthesoul.com is your site for vital global ethical and sustainable investing mentoring, news, commentary, information, and resources. 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 3 article links below that time didn't allow for me to cover here. ------------------------------------------------------------- These 50 Canadian corporations are betting big on green Now nearly all the articles covered in this episode relate to renewable energy investments – except this one. Though it's about Canadian companies, many of them will be of interest to ethical investors globally. Hence, I'm beginning with it and it's titled These 50 Canadian corporations are betting big on green. The editorial is by Rick Spence and appears on corporateknights.com. “Now in its 23rd year, the Best 50 helps track how Canadian businesses are meeting the low-carbon and green-transition challenge – as well as where they're getting stuck in the process… The companies that made the Best 50 are mostly corporations with more than $1 billion in annual revenues, as well as Crown corporations, large co-ops and members of the S&P/TSX Renewable Energy and Clean Technology Index. What sets them apart is their commitment to doing business differently – they're companies that derive significant revenue from greener products and services, invest in increasingly sustainable projects, and prioritize equity in their operations. Crucially, the companies' average sustainable investment (as a percentage of total investment) hit 58.9% this year, up 9% over last year's 49.7% – that's compared to just 8.4% for the average large Canadian corporation.” End quotes. Among the top public companies on the list are Brookfield Renewable Partners LP (NYSE:BEP), Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. (WPM), Cascades Inc. (CAS.TO), and BCE Inc. (BCE.TO). ------------------------------------------------------------- 1) Renewable Energy Stock Picks -- and More So, back to the renewable energy sector with this first article titled 3 Best Renewable Energy Stocks to Buy in July 2024, According to Analysts. It's by Sheryl Sheth and seen on nasdaq.com. Here are some of her comments. “1 Fluence Energy (NASDAQ:FLNC) is engaged in empowering the global clean energy transition by providing energy storage solutions. The company also offers cloud-based software solutions for renewables and energy storage. Importantly, Fluence Energy has the backing of two industry-leading companies, Siemens (DE:SIE) and AES Corp. (NYSE:AES)… On TipRanks, Fluence Energy stock has a Strong Buy consensus rating based on 12 Buys and three Hold recommendations. The average Fluence Energy price target of $30.21 implies an impressive 83.9% upside potential from current levels. Meanwhile, Fluence Energy shares have plunged 31.1% so far in 2024. 2. ReNew Energy Global (NASDAQ:RNW) India-based ReNew Energy Global is one of the largest renewable companies in the world, with a clean energy portfolio of roughly 15.6GW (gigawatts) on a gross basis as of May 31. The company provides innovative and sustainable decarbonization solutions for corporates. Plus, it engages in the production of wind, solar, and hydropower and manufactures solar PV (photovoltaic) cells… With six unanimous Buy ratings, ReNew Energy Global stock commands a Strong Buy consensus rating on TipRanks. The average ReNew Energy Global price target of $8.82 implies 45.1% upside potential from current levels. Year-to-date, ReNew Energy Global shares have lost 19.5%. 3. Clearway Energy, Inc. (NYSE:CWEN) claims to own one of the largest renewable energy portfolios in the U.S. The company has approximately 6,200 net MW (megawatts) of installed wind, solar, and battery energy storage systems. Plus, it owns another 2,500 net MW of environmentally-sound, highly efficient natural gas generation facilities. The company believes in rewarding shareholders with generous dividend payments… With six Buys and one Hold rating, Clearway Energy stock has a Strong Buy consensus rating on TipRanks. The average Clearway Energy Class C price target of $31 implies 27.6% upside potential from current levels. Clearway Energy shares have declined 8.4% so far in 2024.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 2) Renewable Energy Stock Picks – and More Also, related to renewable energy is this article titled 3 ESG Funds to Buy As Sustainable Investing Gathers Steam. It's by Zacks Equity Research and found at au.sports.yahoo.com. Here are some comments on their picks from the Zack's analysts. “All of these funds carry a Zacks Mutual Fund Rank #2 (Buy). In addition, the minimum initial investment for these funds is within $5,000. We expect these funds to outperform their peers in the future… Unlike most of the fund-rating systems, the Zacks Mutual Fund Rank is not just focused on past performance but also on the likely future success of the fund. 1. Fidelity Select Environment and Alternative Energy Portfolio (FSLEX) The fund invests… in securities of companies mostly engaged in activities related to alternative and renewable energy, energy efficiency, pollution control, water infrastructure, waste and recycling technologies or other environmental support services. The non-diversified fund invests in U.S. and non-U.S. issuers alike… Fidelity Select Environment and Alternative Energy Portfolio has an annual expense ratio of 0.85%, which is below the category average of 1.09%. It has returned 4.9% over the past five years. 2. Parnassus Core Equity Fund - Investor Shares (PRBLX) aims for capital growth and current income through its investments… (It)… invests in large-capitalization companies in the United States that have long-term competitive advantages and relevancy, quality management teams and positive performance in the ESG criteria… Parnassus Core Equity Fund - Investor Shares has an annual expense ratio of 0.86%, which is below the category average of 0.93%. It has returned 9.1% over the past five years. 3. TIAA-CREF Core Impact Bond Fund Retail Class (TSBRX) The fund invests (most of) … its assets in bonds. TIAA-CREF Core Impact Bond Fund Retail Class gives particular consideration to environmental, social and governance criteria… TIAA-CREF Core Impact Bond Fund Retail Class has an annual expense ratio of 0.65%, which is below the category average of 0.80%. It has returned 3.2% over the past five years.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 3) Renewable Energy Stock Picks -- and More And here is my next renewable energy article. It's titled The 3 Smartest Renewable Energy Stocks to Buy With $500 Right Now and is by Rich Duprey and found on investorplace.com. Now some brief quotes from Mr. Duprey on each of his picks. 1. NextEra Energy (NYSE:NEE) is the first renewable energy stock that investors should consider buying. It is the world's largest generator of renewable energy from the wind and sun and a top-tier stock in battery storage. At the end of 2023, NextEra had approximately 72 gigawatts (GW) of total capacity in its portfolio. Of that amount, half or 36 GW came from renewables, some 70% more than its nearest competitor with wind power represented as two-thirds of the total renewable capacity… NextEra Energy will be one of the top renewable energy stocks to buy that leads the way. 2. Brookfield Renewable Partners (NYSE:BEP) is the leading provider of hydropower in the country. It operates as one of the world's largest publicly traded platforms for renewable power and decarbonization solutions. Yet where 85% of Brookfield's portfolio was once hydropower generation, today it stands at about 50% as the company grew through mergers and acquisitions… Although it primarily has projects in North America and Latin America, more recently as the Neoen acquisition shows, it is expanding more towards Europe and Asia. Brookfield Renewable Partners is a renewable energy stock to buy because of its hydro sector dominance that cannot be easily, or readily, replicated. 3. First Solar (NASDAQ:FSLR) is the world's leading manufacturer of thin-film solar panel technology and a pure-play in the solar panel space. It focuses on the U.S. and Indian markets where the greatest booking potential lays, particularly in the domestic utility-scale market… First Solar has built a solid financial foundation and a strong balance sheet to weather future storms. Its thin-film cadmium telluride technology is distinctive in the industry that benefits from its simple manufacturing process. First Solar should also benefit from the Biden administration's protectionist trade policies. It recently imposed high-import barriers on cheaper Chinese panels.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 4) Renewable Energy Stock Picks -- and More This last article takes us away from renewable energy. It's titled 6 impact investing firms and funds that are top picks from U.S. News. The article's authors are staff at equities.com. Now some brief quotes from the article. “Impact investing firms 1. Eaton Vance Corp. (EV) When this investment management firm bought Calvert Investment Management in 2016, it acquired a company that's been involved in responsible investing for years. It launched an ESG bond portfolio in 1987 and a non-U.S. ESG portfolio in 1992. In 1995, it debuted Calvert Impact Capital. Now, Calvert Impact offers notes targeting community investment, carbon reduction and a more inclusive banking system. It also offers several small business recovery funds. 2. Impax Asset Management Group PLC. (IPXAF) This is another firm that grew its impact investing offerings through an acquisition. In 2017, it announced that it would buy Pax World Management. Impax has worked with the World Bank to structure an impact bond to finance 300,000 water purifiers for schools and other institutions in Vietnam… 3. Trillium Asset Management. This ESG-focused fund provider offers impact investing strategies targeting sustainable agriculture, low-income housing, job creation and retention, Native American community development, financial services that help people avoid predatory payday lenders, environmental sustainability, development of domestic and international communities and child care. It typically directs investments to nonprofit loan funds or development banks and credit unions targeting historically underserved sections of society. Impact investing funds 1. First Trust Nasdaq Clean Edge Green Energy Index Fund (QCLN) This alternative energy fund tracks an index of securities issued by companies involved in advanced materials, energy intelligence, renewable electricity generation and renewable fuels, and energy storage and conversion. The $702 million fund has an expense ratio of 0.59%, or $59 per year for every $10,000 invested. It also paid a 30-day SEC yield of 1.2% as of the end of May. (It)… is up more than 60% over the past five years, though the last few years have been rough going for the fund. 2. Invesco Water Resources ETF (PHO) This ETF tracks an index of companies involved in the conservation and purification of water for homes, businesses and industries. Most of its holdings focused on resource security and basic needs, with a smaller percentage allocated to climate action. The $2.1 billion fund has an expense ratio of 0.6% and is up more than 80% over the past five years. 3. YWCA Women's Empowerment ETF (WOMN) This fund hits on a theme that is big in the impact investing community: women's empowerment. (It)… tracks an index of companies that ‘have strong policies and practices in support of women's empowerment and gender equality,' the fund's website says. Impact Shares donates all the net advisory profits from (the fund) to the YWCA. The $56 million ETF has an expense ratio of 0.75% and is up more than 74% over the past five years, beating its category average.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Honorable Mentions that time didn't allow me to cover here 1.

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 2 article links below that time didn't allow me to review them here. ------------------------------------------------------------- 1) Renewable Energy Stock Picks I'm beginning with this article which is from the famous Zacks research team. It's titled 4 Stocks to Watch in the Path to Decarbonize the Future and is by Rimmi Singhi and found at sg.news.yahoo.com. Here are brief quotes by the author on each stock. “1. Clearway (CWEN) along with its subsidiaries owns and operates a diverse portfolio of contracted renewable and conventional generation, along with thermal infrastructure assets in the United States. Furthermore, Clearway's asset portfolio includes more than 9,000 megawatts (MW) of wind, solar, thermal, and natural-gas-fired power generation facilities as well as distract energy systems… The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Clearway's 2023 sales and earnings implies year-over-year growth of 15% and 149%, respectively… It boasts a long-term earnings growth rate of 10%. Clearway currently sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). 2. NextEra (NEE) is a leading provider of wind and solar energy in the United States. The company also operates in Canada and has a growing presence in Latin America. NextEra has many renewable projects in its backlog and their completion will ensure reduced emissions. The company expects to be able to add 33-42 gigawatts (GW) of new renewables in the 2023-2026 time frame to the generation portfolio via clean energy investments… The Zacks Consensus Estimate for NextEra's 2023 and 2024 earnings implies year-over-year growth of 8% and 8.2%, respectively. The same for 2023 and 2024 revenues indicates a year-over-year uptick of 27% and 9%, respectively. The company surpassed earnings estimates in the last four quarters, the average surprise being 6.2%. It boasts a long-term earnings growth rate of 9%. NextEra currently carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). 3. Brookfield (BEP) is a renewable energy firm that operates hydro, wind, solar, and storage assets in North America, South America, Europe and Asia.

Over the past decade, Brookfield's earnings have witnessed a CAGR of around 10%. Brookfield is committed to maintaining a strong balance sheet to support further expansion. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Brookfield's 2023 and 2024 earnings implies year-over-year growth of 120% and 275%, respectively… The firm boasts a dividend yield of more than 4% and has increased its payout five times in the last five years.

The same for 2023 and 2024 revenues indicates a year-over-year uptick of 7% and 25%, respectively. Vestas currently carries a Zacks Rank #3.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 2) Renewable Energy Stock Picks This second article is again by the prodigious research output group, InvestorPlace. It's titled 3 Renewable Energy Stocks to Capitalize on the Sustainability Surge. It's by Rick Orford and found on investorplace.com. Now some of what Mr. Orford says about his stock picks. “1. First Solar (NASDAQ:FSLR) The continued growth in solar power as an alternative energy source has made companies like First Solar an important part of the government's plan to transition to a green economy.  The company is one of the top producers of photovoltaic cells (PV) used in building CdTe solar modules that transform sunlight into electricity, making it an invaluable component of the solar power production chain. The growing demand for solar energy has led to First Solar's acquisition of an Ohio facility that serves as its distribution center, enabling it to scale manufacturing… Looking forward, First Solar expects net income per diluted share to end between $13.00 and $14.00 — almost doubling 2023 results — and net sales to be around $4.4 billion and $4.6 billion for 2024. With the government's strong push to go green, First Solar has tremendous potential, making it one of the best choices for renewable energy stocks to buy. 2. Broadwind (NASDAQ:BWEN) specializes in wind energy equipment, clean energy structures and clean technology used by different sectors. The company agreed with MarketAxess Holdings (NASDAQ:MKTX) to ‘sell earned Advanced Manufacturing Production Credits' which will help significantly improve its liquidity profile. Broadwind's latest results showcased impressive growth in FY'23. Revenue reached $203.5 million, 15% higher than the previous year's reported revenue of $176.7 million… Despite a slight decrease in orders and backlog from last year, Broadwind is still optimistic about future prospects, especially with expectations of accelerating wind development in the latter half of 2024.  3. Beam Global (NASDAQ:BEEM) is a clean technology innovator that designs advanced solutions for energy storage, electric vehicle (EV) charging and energy infrastructures.  Its patented infrastructure product EV ARC (Electric Vehicle Autonomous Renewable Charger) uses integrated battery storage and solar power that provides a power source for electric vehicle charging stations. The company also offers street furniture and street lighting products globally… The company finished FY'23 with a record revenue of $67.4 million, a 206% growth compared to last year's $23 million. Earnings for the year improved to a net loss of $1.30, an increase of 34.6% compared to the previous year's loss of $1.99. In addition, the company reported positive full-year gross profit and remained debt-free with an unused $100 million line of credit. Its significant backlog and contracts mean the company should have ample cash flow to fund its future operations.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 3) Renewable Energy Stock Picks This third article is titled SunPower Stock Has 87% Upside, According to 1 Wall Street Analyst. It's by Rich Smith and found on fool.com. Here are some of his comments. “Is SunPower (SPWR) stock a buy in 2024? Quoted on The Fly Monday, Richardson explained he cut SunPower's price target because green energy stocks have been underperforming this year and inventories are still bloated. But the analyst remains optimistic that ‘inventory channel clearings are nearly complete' and so the bottom is not far off. Combined with rising electricity rates, that's going to create more demand for cheap solar power, and create the potential for SunPower's sales to turn around. Is he right? As the saying goes, it's hard to make predictions -- especially about the future. Still, if the ‘bottom' has truly already arrived for solar power stocks, then it's arrived remarkably quickly. In related cyclical industries such as semiconductors for example, oversupply cycles ordinarily take six to 18 months to reverse. But SunPower's sales have only been falling for a couple of quarters. According to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence, sales were still on an upswing as recently as the second quarter of 2023! While it's possible SunPower's going to get away with just a six-month downturn, therefore, I wouldn't bet on it. And I wouldn't bet on a company valued at $380 million, and burning more than half that amount ($201 million) in cash every year, doubling over the next 12 months either. More than likely, SunPower stock still has at least a few more rough quarters ahead of it.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 4) Renewable Energy Stock Picks The last article is titled 3 Renewable Energy Stocks That Will Make Other Investors Green With Envy. It's by Rick Orford, and found on investorplace.com. Here are some comments by Mr. Orford. “For this analysis, I've started with a screen of the top 30 Renewable Energy Companies based on the Market Cap. Then, I filtered the list for the following criteria: Year-on-year quarterly net income growth of over 30%, Analyst rating of 4 and above (moderate to strong buy) and An upside potential of over 50% based on high target prices. This list of renewable energy stocks to buy is sorted in descending order based on upside potential. 1. First Solar (NASDAQ:FSLR) drives the global transition to renewable energy by harnessing the sun's power. The company manufactures thin-film PV solar modules, which offer a lower-carbon alternative to conventional crystalline silicon PV modules.  First Solar's business operations include manufacturing cadmium telluride solar modules, project development activities, operations and maintenance services. The company has a presence in France, Japan, Chile and, of course, the United States…  First Solar's Q4FY'23 financial report is a relief for many investors. Its revenue Increased to $1.16 billion from $1 billion YOY. EPS also recovered considerably from a 7-cent loss to a $3.27 profit per share.  Its metrics, including its YOY net income growth of 84.65%, make it easy to understand why analysts rate the stock a strong buy, with a high target of $269 — over 52.6% upside potential from its current levels.  2. Fluence Energy (NASDAQ:FLNC) is a driving force in integrating renewable energy into power grids. It delivers highly modernized energy storage solutions worldwide. The company offers various energy storage products like Gridstack Pro, Gridstack, Sunstack, Edgestack and Ultrastack. It caters to applications such as large-scale front-of-the-meter, DC-coupled solar + storage, commercial and industrial use cases, and more… Fluence Energy's Q1'24 financials are pretty decent despite minor setbacks in metrics. Its revenues increased from $363.95 million to $310.46 million YOY. Its gross profit increased from $12 million to $36.39 million. However, Fluence Energy's net quarterly income loss was $25.55 million, an improvement from $37.19 million last year.  Analysts rate FLNC stock a strong buy, targeting a high price of $37, which translates to 107% upside potential from its current levels.  3. Brookfield Renewable Partners (NYSE:BEP) is a prominent player in the renewable energy sector and owns various assets worldwide. The company's portfolio includes hydroelectric, wind, solar and energy storage facilities, with an operating capacity of approximately 33,000 megawatts.  Moreover, Brookfield Renewable Partners has a significant development pipeline and invests in sustainable solutions such as renewable natural gas, carbon capture and storage, recycling and nuclear services… Brookfield Renewable Partners reported pretty decent Q4'23 financial results with its all-positive YOY performance. Its revenue slightly increased to $1.32 billion from $1.20 billion. On top of that, the company's net income significantly increased to $264 million from $60 million, placing its EPS in a recovering trajectory of $0.01 from the -$0.16 loss reported in FY'22. Analysts rate Brookfield Renewable Partners stock a strong buy with a high target of $52, reflecting over 152% upside potential.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- One Honorable Mention Title: 3 Renewable Energy Stocks to Sell in May Before They Crash & Burn on investorplace.com.

Like other mega cap stocks, it is also focusing heavily on AI, and announced plans in April through which its AWS business division seeks to host other businesses' AI models. 1. Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) Hedge Fund Shareholders: 302 Microsoft is a global consumer software and enterprise computing giant. The firm scored a big win in April 2024 when beverages giant Coca Cola signed a $1.1 billion deal with it to use Microsoft's AI and cloud computing platforms.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 2) Best Ethical, ESG Stocks, for 2024 This next article comes from investorplace.com, a site with a prolific output of articles related to renewable energy. This new article is titled The Power of the Sun: 3 Solar Energy Stocks Primed for 5X Gains. It's by Faizan Farooque. Now some quotes from Mr. Farooque. “1. Array Technologies (NASDAQ:ARRY) has surpassed Wall Street projections four times… Despite tremendous success, Array stock is down 31% in 2024 due to lower-than-expected annual expectations. The company's reduction of its annual prediction has lowered the stock's price, making it ideal for investors looking for inexpensive solar stocks. Analysts predict a 68% upside. 2. Canadian Solar (NASDAQ:CSIQ) The company has missed profit expectations seven times in a row, with the most recent miss being 350%. All it can do is focus on its business and grow. To do this, Canadian Solar is constructing a 5GW solar cell factory in Jeffersonville, Indiana, at a cost of $800 million… Investors will hope the expansion into China and the new $800 million plant will help realize the stock's 84% upside potential. 3. First Solar's (NASDAQ:FSLR) path forward will depend on its aggressive expansion in the solar business. It's spending $1.2 billion to expand its U.S. manufacturing capabilities… First Solar also paid $38 million to buy the Swedish perovskite expert Evolar. It is hoped that this buy will speed up the creation of very efficient tandem photovoltaic (PV) technology… The potential upside of over 22% reflects this narrative, placing it highly among solar stocks.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 3) Best Ethical, ESG Stocks, for 2024 This third article comes by way of a new website to me, techopedia.com. The article is titled Best ESG Stocks to Invest in 2024 and it's by Jim Halley. Now some brief comments by Mr. Halley on each company. “1. ASML Holding (NASDAQ: ASML) The Dutch company has a monopoly on EUV lithography machines that are used to imprint patterns on silicon chips. 2. Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) The tech company hasn't let its profit goals get in the way of ESG progress and has invested heavily in renewable energy. It has set ambitious goals for reducing water use and to be carbon neutral. 3. Hermes International (OTC: HESAF) The luxury goods retailer sells longer-lasting goods to protect the environment and has a science-based target to lower greenhouse gas emissions in its supply chain and operations. 4. Fortinet (NASDAQ: FTNT) The cybersecurity company has lowered its carbon footprint, avoiding 455 tons of CO2 emissions by using eco-friendly packaging. It also uses 100% renewable energy in 80% of its owned sites. 5. Check Point Software Technologies (NASDAQ: CHKP) The Israeli company focuses on cybersecurity services. It said it's looking to be carbon neutral by 2040. It also focuses on charitable work and gender equality. 6. Colgate-Palmolive (NYSE: CL) Founded in 1806, it's one of the oldest companies in the US stock market. It has a diverse workforce, with 42% of its senior managers and directors being minorities (Black, Asian or Latino). 7. Adobe (NASDAQ: ADBE) The software company gets high sustainability scores by using renewable energy sources and reducing waste. It also has several diversity and inclusion initiatives.  8. Brookfield Renewable Partners (NYSE: BEP) It develops and operates renewable power and sustainable assets, including hydroelectric, wind, utility-scale solar power. It pays an above-average dividend.  9. Constellation Energy (NASDAQ: CEG) The electrical power and natural gas management services provider has the US's largest carbon-free nuclear presence after investing in the South Texas Project Electric Generating Station.  10. Applied Materials (NASDAQ: AMAT) The world's No. 1 semiconductor wafer fabrication equipment maker gets high ESG scores because it uses 100% renewable energy – wind and solar power – in the US, and 70% globally.” End quotes ------------------------------------------------------------- 4) Best Ethical, ESG Stocks, for 2024 The fourth article is another one from the investorplace.com site titled 7 Alternative Energy Stocks to Buy on the Fossil Fuel Fallout. It's by Josh Enomoto. Here are some quotes from Mr. Enomoto on each of his picks. “1. NextEra Energy (NYSE:NEE) generates, transmits, distributes and sells electric power to retail and wholesale customers in North America. Per its public profile, the company generates electricity through wind, solar, nuclear, natural gas and other clean energy... It's one of the alternative energy stocks to keep on your radar. 2. Cameco (NYSE:CCJ) provides uranium for electricity generation. It operates through multiple segments, with its mainline uranium unit involved in the exploration for, mining, milling, purchase and sale of uranium concentrate. It also features a fuel unit that engages in the refining and fabrication of the commodity… It's an unignorable component of alternative energy stocks to buy. 3. Ormat Technologies (NYSE:ORA) (Is engaged in geothermal energy production.) Geothermal is exactly what it sounds like — extracting energy from the earth's core. It's sustainable, renewable and doesn't involve building ugly wind turbines that could impact wildlife. Notably, the company is a strong financial performer. Last fiscal year, it posted an average positive earnings surprise of 22.58%. 4. First Solar (NASDAQ:FSLR) provides photovoltaic (PV) solar energy solutions in the United States, France, Japan, Chile and internationally. Per its public profile, the company manufactures and sells PV solar modules with a thin film semiconductor technology that provides a lower-carbon alternative to conventional crystalline silicon PV solar modules… It's still risky but it could be a compelling wager for alternative energy stocks. 5. Clearway Energy (NYSE:CWEN) Per its corporate profile, Clearway has approximately 6,000 net megawatts (MW) of installed wind, solar and energy generation projects. It also features approximately 2,500 net MW of natural gas-fired generation facilities… The most optimistic analyst believes that Clearway Energy has… over 62% upside potential. 6. Brookfield Renewable (NYSE:BEPC) owns and operates a portfolio of renewable power and sustainable solution assets primarily in the U.S., Europe, Colombia and Brazil. According to its corporate profile, Brookfield operates hydroelectric, wind, solar and distributed energy and sustainable solutions with an installed capacity of approximately 19,161 MW… Shares feature a moderate buy consensus view. 7. Clean Energy Fuels (NASDAQ:CLNE) provides natural gas as alternative fuels for vehicle fleets and related fueling solutions in the U.S. and Canada… Clean Energy Fuels ranks as the highest-risk, highest-reward prospect on this list of alternative energy stocks. Analysts rate shares a consensus strong buy… projecting over 215% upside potential.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Other Honorable Mentions – not in any order 1.

Plus… Next, we have this article. It's titled Green Giants: 7 ESG Stocks Leading the Way in Sustainable Investing by Muslim Farooque and found on investorplace.com. Here are some brief quotes by Mr. Farooque on each company. “1. Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) The tech giant's early and substantial investments in generative AI have positioned it at the vanguard of the AI revolution… Simultaneously, Microsoft's dedication to ESG principles has earned it accolades as one of the top ESG stocks. 2. Ormat Technologies (NYSE:ORA) is a giant in the field of renewable geothermal energy technology… The company's achievements include constructing more than 190 power plants and installing more than 3,200 megawatts (MW) of capacity. Ormat stock has fallen out of favor with investors… However, the future looks promising. 3. Fluence Energy (NASDAQ:FLNC) is… bolstering the burgeoning electric vehicle (EV) market through its powerful energy storage solutions and AI-driven energy management systems. These competencies are critical for the development of efficient EV charging infrastructure and the integration of renewable energy into the power grid… This optimistic outlook underscores Fluence's potential as a key player in the energy storage and EV market, making it a compelling, sustainable option. 4. Bunge (NYSE:BG) Operating in agribusiness, refined & specialty oils, and milling, the company profits mainly from agribusiness. With a presence in 40 countries, Bunge is positioned remarkably well amidst growing global food shortage concerns, and its business model champions sustainable food supply chains by supporting agricultural communities efficiently… It offers a forward dividend yield of 2.61%, with a notable 22-year history of consistent dividend payments. 5. Altus Power (NYSE:AMPS) is a key player in the solar energy space, which is elevating its game with Atlus IQ, an AI-powered, cloud-based tool revolutionizing energy usage insights and solar savings. 6.

Host Hotels & Resorts (NASDAQ:HST) It's a distinguished real estate investment trust (REIT), which continues to make strides in the luxury and upper-upscale hotel market. With an enviable portfolio boasting names such as Grand Hyatt, Hilton, Marriott, and others, the company has established itself as a heavyweight in the hospitality sphere.

It's titled 3 Healthcare Technology Stocks to Improve Lives in 2024. It's by Jeremy Flint and found also on investorplace.com. Here are some quotes by Mr. Flint on each of his picks. “1. Crispr Therapeutics (NASDAQ:CRSP) made waves earlier this month as its sickle cell treatment, Casgevy, became the first gene-editing therapy approved by the FDA. The implications… are staggering. FDA approval for an ailment as serious as sickle cell opens the floodgates for long-term gene editing and CRISPR tech treatments, ranging from complex chronic diseases to routine wound repair. Investors' lack of enthusiasm is primarily due to Casgevy's short-term operational and financial implications rather than what the approval stands for conceptually. 2. Teladoc Health (NYSE:TDOC) Teladoc… trades more than 90% below past highs. But that fall from grace isn't an indictment of Teladoc's model or viability… Teladoc's market share has lots of room to improve… Teladoc is neck-and-neck with direct competitors Amwell (NYSE:AMWL) and Doxy.me. As medical needs evolve, so do delivery and interaction mechanisms, making Teladoc one of the best healthcare technology stocks for 2024. 3. Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ:ISRG) captures another long-term healthcare trend, increased reliance on robotics during surgical procedures. Intuitive Surgical… is a healthcare technology giant in the NASDAQ-100 and S&P 500. Despite its relative overvaluation, analysts are nearly all bullish on Intuitive Surgical… EquitySet, staking $409 as a fair price target, putting shares 18% undervalued at current levels… If you want to anchor a basket of healthcare technology stocks, a stable but innovative giant like Intuitive Surgical stands as a strong cornerstone.” ------------------------------------------------------------- Other Honorable Mentions – not in any order. 1) Title: Jefferies initiates coverage on solar energy stocks on yahoo.com.

There are thousands of publicly-traded companies for investors to choose from on any given day. What's the best way to evaluate them -- and to separate the cream from the crop? 7investing CEO Simon Erickson recently interviewed Flyover Stocks' founder Todd Wenning. Todd has spent two decades in the investing industry -- representing the buy-side with Ensemble Capital, the sell-side with Morningstar, and the retail side with The Motley Fool. He's now launched his own Flyover Stocks newsletter to help investors find overlooked, quality companies. In the first part of the conversation, Simon asks Todd about his investing methodology. Todd describes that "Strong Buy" opportunities are often found at the collision of Moats, Management, and Price. A moat refers to a company's competitive advantage. Easy to comprehend but more challenging to quantify, moats represent an "unfair advantage that makes a business sustainable." Todd explains that there are different types of moats -- such as legacy or reinvestment moats -- which should be considered as management plans out their capital allocation strategy. The two then discussed management, which they framed as capital allocation decisions. Dividends are still a popular allocation strategy, as they show a discipline and commitment to returning cash directly to investors. Management teams can also pursue acquisitions or execute strategic buybacks with their company's profit stream. In the final part of the conversation, Simon and Todd discuss why Costco (Nasdaq: COST), Old Dominion Freight Line (Nasdaq: ODFL) and Worthington Industries (NYSE: WOR) might be intriguing opportunities for investors to add to their watch list. Publicly-traded companies mentioned in this podcast include Costco, Old Dominion Freight Line, Procter & Gamble, Starbucks, Uber, and Worthington Industries. 7investing's advisors and/or its guests may have positions in the companies that are mentioned.
