Are These Top Renewable Energy Stocks On Your October 2021 Watchlist?

Renewable energy is a core factor in the current global green wave. As such, it makes sense renewable energy stocks continue to turn heads in the stock market today. As most would know, numerous environmental factors are fueling the current momentum in this industry. With the climate crisis becoming increasingly irreversible, the push towards sustainable energy sources would become more urgent. Moreover, the cost of conventional sources of energy continues to skyrocket. To put things into perspective, global gas prices have reportedly tripled year-to-date, according to reports by CNBC.

Accordingly, all this would see governments, organizations, and investors across the globe continue to turn their attention towards clean energy. To begin with, automotive manufacturing titan Ford (NYSE: F) is looking to further bolster the sustainability of its operations. As of today, Ford is now working with Redwood Materials to recycle its electric vehicle (EV) batteries. Not only would this reduce the company’s carbon footprint, but it would also serve to optimize its operations. According to Ford COO Lisa Drake, the move reduces reliance on imported materials to build the batteries. Drake then said that this will, in turn, “reduce the mining of raw materials, which is going to be incredibly important in the future as we start to scale.

Meanwhile, SunPower (NASDAQ: SPWR) recently received a rosy analyst update. Namely, analysts over at Evercore (NYSE: EVR) hit SPWR stock with an Outperform rating earlier today. The firm believes that SunPower could benefit from overall industry tailwinds given its current position in the sector. Having read this far, you might be keen on renewable energy stocks yourself. Should that be the case, here are three to know in the stock market now.
