Betting on green energy: The small caps emerging as the biggest winners

Beam Global

Freedom Broker has cut its target price on Beam Global by nearly 17% but continues to recommend buying the stock. Beam, whose EV charging systems are <a href="https://beamforall.com/beam-customers/">used</a>&nbsp;by such customers as Google and NASA, has lost roughly half of its revenue amid Trump’s energy policy shifts and has gone into the red. To compensate, the company is pursuing new markets where it expects to compete for as much as $1 trillion in sustainable-infrastructure spending.

Exxon Mobil Corporation

The European Union, a global leader in pursuing the green agenda, is having to scale back some of its initiatives under pressure from major gas suppliers and its own politicians. But despite this political reversal, the technological transition to a greener economy is accelerating, and the stock market is showing that there is money to be made in sustainable development.

U.S. President Donald Trump's crusade against renewable energy seemed like it should have brought the sector's shares down even further. But the opposite has happened - the sector has once again attracted investors' attention and has become one of the highest-yielding sectors in the world this year. That said, quotes are still at low levels. Most importantly, the clean energy sector no longer needs subsidies, analysts say.

And now Saudi Arabia, using its technology, has engaged in the rapid development of solar generation.
