Renewable Energy Growth Stocks the Market-

In the rapidly accelerating green energy industry, growth stocks are becoming a savior of sorts for investors in the otherwise stagnant stock market. However, these stocks are somewhat unpredictable in the futures exchange; venture capitalists quickly invest lofty amounts of cash into these growing stocks, but any slight chance of slowdown will cause these investors to pull their cash and run. The most important research in determining which stocks are the most beneficial for long-term alternative energy investments is that the company is heavily traded on their home exchanges, searching overseas for a significant portion of their growth and are dependable in their basic commodity supplies, which is especially important with solar PV. Thankfully we have the market acumen of the The Motley Fool, whose CAPS service allows us to browse the collective community of more than 130,000 investors with extensive background information on each.

There are currently many renewable energy stocks which are competing for the top spot; the first being Rebuilding the Grid Allegheny Technologies (NYSE: ATI) which produces steel alloy that conducts electricity and has magnetic properties. It’s most recent project, GOES, or grain-oriented electrical steel, transforms into all sizes and has been called the essence of electrical power grid efficiency. Its revenue has grown from $4.94 billion in 2006 to $5.31 billion in 2008. The next company to look for is Suntech Power Holdings (NYSE: STP), which has grown from $85 million total revenue in 2004, to $1.9 billion in 2008. Although the company has exceeded market standards for growth in the solar energy sector, it still faces rigid competition from First Solar (Nasdaq: FSLR) and other sun energy up-and-comers like Solar SunPower (Nasdaq: SPWRA). Solar Sunpower was recently spun-off from Cypress Semiconductor and offers an array of solar power products such as solar panels, solar cells, and inverters. In 2007, SunPower accounted for nearly half of Cypress’ sales, around $800 million and it is expected to top $2 billion in revenues by the end of 2009. Another is Vestas Wind Systems (Nasdaq: VWS), a wind energy company that has been able to boost its earnings from an amazing 201 million euros in 2006 to 443 million euros in 2007, a 120% increase over just one year. Of course, there is also Wind General Electric (NYSE: GE) who has had tremendous success in pushing its wind turbine equipment and is more than qualified to assert a strong portion of the market share. These are just a few of the many growing alternative energy stocks in that may be worth investing in. Make sure to do the research and remember that the stock market is always gamble so choose your investments wisely.
