End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- The Ethical Investor's Dream: 7 Socially Responsible Stocks With Skyrocketing Potential Now Investor Place has produced some interesting research articles with many ESG and sustainably oriented stock picks. Their latest article is this one titled The Ethical Investor's Dream: 7 Socially Responsible Stocks With Skyrocketing Potential. It's by Josh Enomoto. “1) Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) While Microsoft ranks among one of the biggest technology companies in the world… it ranked as number one on Investor's Business Daily's (IDB) 100 Best ESG Companies for 2023 list. Judging from its nearly 16% upside performance since the beginning of January, it's ethical and viable… Experts rate Microsoft a strong buy with a $470.30 average price target. That implies about 10% upside potential. 2) Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Another world-renowned tech giant, Alphabet came in at number 25 on IDB's list for top ESG companies last year. Fundamentally, the company should benefit from its ownership of the Google ecosystem. Commanding an overwhelming market share of the search engine space, Alphabet probably isn't going anywhere but up… Alphabet carries a strong buy consensus view with a $165.37 price target, implying about 10% upside. 3) TJX Companies (NYSE:TJX) TJX Companies is a discount retailer… it specializes in off-price apparel, shoes and accessories. It made number 22 on IDB's list of top ESG businesses in 2023. On a fundamental note, the gradual return to normalization could see increased demand for cheap business casual attire… Analysts rate TJX a strong buy with a $110.84 average price target, implying over 11% growth potential. 4) Air Products and Chemicals (NYSE:APD) provides atmospheric gases, process and specialty gases, equipment, and related services throughout the world. On IDB's ESG list last year, Air Products came in at number 18. To be fair, it's one of the riskier ideas on this list, with shares losing 13% year-to-date… Air Products and Chemicals also carries a moderate buy view with a $272 price target, implying 15% upside potential. If you want a potentially discounted opportunity among socially responsible stocks, this might be it. 5) Mondelez (NASDAQ:MDLZ) A multinational confectionary, food, beverage and snack company, offers everyday relevance for investors and consumers. And if the economy gets a bit wobbly, Mondelez should rise as a beneficiary of the trade-down effect. Notably, Mondelez ranked as number 15 on IDB's top ESG list… Experts rate Mondelez a strong buy with an $83.47 price target. 6) Bunge (NYSE:BG) A critically important name among socially responsible stocks, Bunge operates as an agribusiness and food company worldwide. It conducts operations through four segments: Agribusiness, Refined and Specialty Oils, Milling and Sugar and Bioenergy. On IDB's ESG list, Bunge came in at number 11… Analysts are optimistic with Bunge's chart performance, rating it a moderate buy with a $115.30 target. That implies more than 16% growth potential. 7) Adobe (NASDAQ:ADBE) Another top-tier technology enterprise, Adobe is a software giant. It's perhaps best known for its Photoshop program and other products aimed at the creatives community. Because of the rise of the gig economy, Adobe could be more important than many people realize. As for its inclusion as one of the socially responsible stocks, Adobe ranked as number 14 in IBD's top ESG list… Analysts rate Adobe a moderate buy with a $620.63 target, implying over 24% upside potential.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Benefits of Sustainable Investing and 3 Companies Paving the Way! This next article comes from a site I haven't seen before – techbullion.com. Its author, Adriaan Brits, offers some good insights backing his stock picks. It's titled Benefits of Sustainable Investing and 3 Companies Paving the Way! Here's some of what Mr. Brits says about his picks. “1) AGCO: Advancing Agricultural Sustainability  AGCO, an American agricultural machinery manufacturer, has emerged as a compelling option for sustainable investing. AGCO integrates sustainability into its core business strategy, emphasizing innovation and technology to make agriculture more efficient, productive, and environmentally friendly.  2) ICL Group: Promoting Sustainable Agriculture and Nutrition  ICL Group, a leading global specialty minerals company, and one of the largest fertilizer manufacturers in the world, offers another attractive opportunity for sustainable investment. ICL's operations center around producing a sustainable food supply, focusing on soil health, plant nutrition, and food quality.  3) John Deere: Pioneering Precision Agriculture  John Deere, a familiar name in agricultural machinery, has been pushing boundaries to make farming sustainable and efficient. The company's focus on innovations to improve machinery efficiency and promote agriculture makes it a promising prospect for sustainable investors.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Why I Keep Loading Up on These High-Yielding, Renewable-Energy Dividend Stocks Lastly, is another article by an analyst who is frequently covered in these podcasts: Matt DiLallo at The Motley Fool. This article is titled Why I Keep Loading Up on These High-Yielding, Renewable-Energy Dividend Stocks and it's seen on finance.yahoo.com. Quotes… “The transition to renewable energy is one of the biggest investment megatrends of our lifetime. Over the coming decades, the world needs to invest trillions of dollars to decarbonize the economy. That should power above-average growth for companies focused on those sectors in years to come. I want to cash in on this megatrend. That's why I've been loading up on renewable-energy stocks. I recently bought a few more shares of NextEra Energy Partners and Brookfield Renewable. Here's why I believe they could generate powerful total returns over the long term. 1) NextEra Energy Partners (NYSE: NEP)  NextEra Energy Partners has hit a speed bump in recent years. Surging interest rates have driven up its cost of capital. Not only have borrowing costs risen, but its stock price has lost nearly 70% of its value from the peak in early 2022, driving its dividend yield up to 13%. That has made it more difficult to secure new funding at an attractive rate to refinance existing financing as it matures and obtain new capital for acquisitions. Because of that, the company has had to alter its strategy… If NextEra Energy can execute its plan, it could produce powerful total returns. It would pay a very lucrative and growing dividend. On top of that, it has significant stock-price appreciation potential as its share price recovers. While there's a high risk of a dividend cut due to its high payout ratio, a reduction could accelerate its recovery by enabling it to retain more cash to fund growth and strengthen its balance sheet. This high upside potential is why I continue loading up on its stock. 2) Brookfield Renewable (NYSE: BEPC)(NYSE: BEP) Brookfield Renewable has gotten caught up in the growth concerns weighing on NextEra Energy Partners. Its shares are more than 55% below their high in 2022. That pushed its dividend yield up over 6%. However, its issues were more a matter of timing than problems with financing. The company grew its funds from operations by 7% per share last year despite rising rates and supply chain issues. That was slightly below its target of 10%, largely due to later-than-expected transaction closings in the fourth quarter. It also had one that didn't close because shareholders voted against the deal… Brookfield's dividend income and earnings growth alone could power total annual returns in the mid-teens from here. Add in a recovery in its stock price, and the upside potential is even more significant.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- One Other Honorable Mention 1) Title: Strong Buy Renewable Energy Stocks to Add to Your Q2 Must-Watch List on investorplace.com.

“The biggest benefit of anything that you can do at work is if it actually impacts how you behave as a human being and it extends into your personal life.” “Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it.

The meeting that Chuck Fisher brings to our attention began not unlike hundreds, if not thousands, of other meetings that he has sat in on during his 25-year business career. However, it was at one particular gathering that he witnessed the thinking that would trigger one of the last decade's greatest strategic bets. Back in 2013, Fisher had only recently joined the business development team at Charter Communications when he found himself in a meeting that included Charter's then-CEO, Tom Rutledge. The meeting had begun, like many others, with Rutledge highlighting a number of Charter's recent “wins”—before his message became far more nuanced.  Fisher recalls Rutledge saying, “The thing that we need to understand as a company is that we can be the best operators in the business—which I think that we are—but as long as we're subscale, we're always going to be playing the game by someone else's rules and we will never have a seat at the table to define the direction of the industry.” It was later in that day—or perhaps a day or two later—when the Charter M&A team began to contemplate the acquisition of Time Warner Cable, a company roughly four times its size. “It was audacious to think of Charter as the acquirer, inasmuch as every logical design as far as how industries evolve goes would have had Time Warner acquiring us,” explains Fisher, who adds that the Time Warner deal ultimately took 3 years for Charter to complete. Along the way, Fisher reports, there were plenty of headline-grabbing twists and turns, but the organization stayed focused. “We believed that we were the better operators and had a better strategy,” remarks Fisher, who turns our attention back to the early meeting with Rutledge, when the CEO made Fisher and others realize that Charter's operations edge wouldn't matter unless the company did something bold to “move the needle.” “Our one big question became, ‘How do we fix things?,'” continues Fisher, who observes that Rutledge's insights brought clarity to the transformative role that a deal the size of the one involving Time Warner Cable could play in the company's future. Says Fisher: “Those comments became the guiding principles for us as an organization.” - Jack Sweeney
