Nextpower Inc.

T1 Energy Inc TE is positioning itself to benefit from one of the most significant structural trends shaping the energy sector — the rapid growth of artificial intelligence. As hyperscale AI data centers require enormous amounts of electricity to power advanced computing infrastructure, utilities are expected to add substantial new generation capacity over the coming years.
Training and operating advanced AI models require massive computing power, and hyperscale data centers are expanding rapidly to support this demand. T1 Energy expects U.S. electricity consumption to grow at its fastest pace in decades, with AI infrastructure emerging as one of the largest new sources of demand. Because utility-scale solar can be deployed relatively quickly and remains one of the lowest-cost sources of new electricity generation, it is expected to play an increasingly important role in meeting these growing energy needs.
T1 Energy is preparing for this opportunity by expanding its U.S. manufacturing platform. The company's 5 gigawatt (GW) G1_Dallas facility is already producing solar modules, while construction of its G2_Austin solar cell manufacturing facility remains on schedule. The first 2.1 GW phase is expected to begin production during the fourth quarter of 2026, supplying domestically manufactured solar cells to G1_Dallas and creating a vertically integrated U.S. manufacturing platform.
Vertical integration also strengthens T1 Energy's competitive position by reducing reliance on imported components, improving quality control and increasing supply-chain resilience. As utilities and developers increasingly prioritize domestically manufactured products for large-scale renewable energy projects, the company's integrated manufacturing strategy could become an important competitive advantage.
Solar Companies Benefiting From AI-Driven Electricity Demand
Along with TE, some other solar companies are also expected to benefit from the rapid expansion of AI infrastructure.
First Solar FSLR continues expanding its U.S. manufacturing footprint to meet growing demand for utility-scale solar projects. As electricity consumption rises from AI data centers and broader electrification trends, FSLR is well positioned to supply large-scale solar modules to developers and utilities.
Nextpower NXT is benefiting from the rapid deployment of utility-scale solar projects through its intelligent solar tracking systems. NXT’s technology helps maximize energy generation and improve project economics, positioning the company to benefit from the same long-term industry trends.
TE’s Earnings Estimates

Exchange traded funds (ETFs) trade just like stocks, but instead of ''shares'' investors are actually buying and selling ''units''. These ''units'' can be traded back and forth just like stocks, but can also be created or destroyed to accommodate investor demand. Each week we monitor the week-over-week change in shares outstanding data, to keep a lookout for those ETFs experiencing notable inflows (many new units created) or outflows (many old units destroyed). Creation of new units will mean the underlying holdings of the ETF need to be purchased, while destruction of units involves selling underlying holdings, so large flows can also impact the individual components held within ETFs.

Vanguard Russell 2000 Experiences Big Inflow

First Solar’s FSLR long-term growth story is increasingly being driven by manufacturing expansion. Its aggressive investment in domestic manufacturing capacity is strengthening its competitive position as utility-scale solar deployment accelerates across the United States.
The company continues to expand production across its manufacturing facilities in Ohio, Alabama and Louisiana, increasing its ability to supply American-made solar modules. During 2026, FSLR expects capital expenditures to be between $0.8 billion and $1.0 billion. These investments include the construction of a new manufacturing facility, ongoing research and development initiatives, and upgrades to existing machinery and equipment aimed at enhancing efficiency and performance.
The company has added 1.9 gigawatts (GW) of gross bookings since the previousearnings call bringing its total booking backlog to 47.9 GW extending through 2030. This robust backlog indicates strong demand for FSLR’s products while reinforcing its capacity expansion strategy, providing greater revenue visibility and stability in the years ahead.
Rising electricity consumption from data centers, advanced manufacturing facilities and broader electrification trends continue to increase the need for utility-scale solar generation.
The company's differentiated cadmium telluride (CdTe) technology further strengthens its competitive position. Compared with conventional crystalline silicon modules, CdTe technology performs well in high-temperature environments and reduces dependence on polysilicon-based supply chains.

Nextpower To Acquire Zimmermann PV-Steel Group To Expand Solar Business

Key Points
“Green” refers to assets that work toward environmental sustainability.
iShares Global Clean Energy ETF is one of the oldest, most popular clean energy ETFs.
While Invesco has the highest expense ratio of the three ETFs, it has experienced significant gains.
A green exchange-traded fund (ETF) invests specifically in assets tied to environmentally beneficial activities, such as clean-energy stocks or green bonds. The way it works is quite straightforward: The green ETF pools your money with other investors to purchase a basket of environmentally focused investments that are then traded on the exchange like stocks.
These three ETFs offer different ways to marry equity investing with clean energy and sustainability. The first provides broad global exposure to clean energy. The next one concentrates on the solar industry, and the final ETF on the list keeps you near the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) while standing by stocks that focus on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues.
Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue »
The iShares Global Clean Energy ETF tracks the S&P Global Clean Energy Transition Index, which comprises global equities across solar, wind, hydro, and other renewable energy sources. With a portfolio of 105 holdings (as of June 8), the fund is one of the oldest and most widely purchased clean energy ETFs.
With a relatively attractive expense ratio of 0.39%, this ETF provides you instant access to leaders in the clean energy sector. Recent top holdings include:
Bloom Energy Class A shares
First Solar
NextPower Class A shares global select market
The fund may be right for you if:
You're seeking broad, diversified exposure to global clean energy.
You're looking for an investment that's generally less volatile than a solar-only ETF.
You're willing to hold it for the long term.
If you're uncomfortable with the higher volatility often associated with emerging sectors, such as clean energy stocks, this may not be right for you. And if you're seeking income, this ETF probably won't be ideal, as many clean energy companies reinvest profits for growth rather than paying regular dividends.
The Invesco Solar ETF is a highly focused, industry-specific fund that tracks the MAC Global Solar Energy Index. Specifically, Invesco Solar is interested in solar power equipment, solar project development and installation, and related solar technology and components.
Unlike the much broader ETF discussed previously, Invesco Solar has a much narrower scope, holding only 32 stocks (as of June 5). Rather than act as a broad clean-energy fund, this ETF is laser-focused on the solar industry. At 0.70%, the fund has the highest expense ratio of the three ETFs mentioned here. Still, with a gain of about 25% this year, you may find the expense ratio acceptable.
A significant share of the fund's capital goes to big players, such as:
First Solar
NextPower
Enphase Energy
This ETF offers heavy representation of U.S., Asian, and European solar companies and may be a good fit if you're specifically seeking targeted exposure to solar. However, keep in mind that the solar industry is highly sensitive to factors beyond your control, such as policy changes, interest rates, and component pricing, and may be more volatile than you initially expected.
Invesco Solar typically fits best as a single spoke in a well-balanced portfolio.
This ETF tracks the S&P 500 Scored & Screened Index (formerly known as the S&P 500 ESG Index). The fund starts with the traditional S&P 500 and excludes companies that don't meet certain ESG criteria. The index goes further by tilting its weighting toward higher-scoring ESG companies.
Because the fund aims to maintain a sector and risk profile similar to the S&P 500, it's not necessarily a clean-energy or climate-only product but rather a broad, large-cap U.S. equity fund.
With an attractive expense ratio of 0.10%, you will have exposure to technology, financials, healthcare, consumer goods, industrials, and communication services. Still, it's considered ESG-friendly because it excludes companies engaged in activities you may consider controversial, such as tobacco, certain fossil fuel-related companies, and some weapons makers.
The top three of the fund's 330 holdings (as of June 5) are names you'll easily recognize, including:
If you're hoping to balance your portfolio with ESG-minded investments, this ETF might be what you're looking for -- particularly if you want the potential profit of broad market exposure aligned with ESG sensibility.
If you're bothered by the fact that clean-energy concerns do not entirely drive the fund, you still have the comfort of knowing that there are clean-energy ETFs. However, if you're just beginning to focus on ESG-conscious companies, the fund can serve as a base that you selectively layer with other, more targeted ESG-friendly ETFs.

3 Magnificent Green ETFs to Buy in 2026

The S&P 500 Index ($SPX) (SPY) on Friday closed up +0.22%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ($DOWI) (DIA) closed up +0.72%, and the Nasdaq 100 Index ($IUXX) (QQQ) closed up +0.36%. June E-mini S&P futures (ESM26) rose +0.19%, and June E-mini Nasdaq futures (NQM26) rose +0.31%.
Stock indexes settled higher on Friday, with the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrials, and the Nasdaq 100 posting new all-time highs. Stocks are supported by prospects for a peace deal in the Middle East, which are easing pressure on crude oil prices and reducing inflation concerns. Also, evidence of relentless demand for AI-infrastructure upgrades is pushing technology stocks higher, led by a 32% surge in Dell Technologies on Friday after it gave a sales outlook that far surpassed analysts’ estimates.

The markets are awaiting President Trump’s approval of a preliminary deal between the US and Iran to extend a ceasefire by 60 days and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump said Friday he's making a "final determination" on a preliminary deal to extend a ceasefire with Iran.
Friday’s US economic news showed strength in the economy that is positive for stocks. The May MNI Chicago PMI rose +13.5 to 62.7, stronger than expectations of 50.3 and the strongest pace of expansion in 4.25 years.
Fed comments on Friday were mixed for stocks and bonds. On the positive side, San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly said Fed interest rate policy is in a good place and that she's "cautiously optimistic" about the US economy, noting that "there's no urgency to make an adjustment" to interest rates. Also, Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari said, "I think it's premature for me to conclude we need to be raising rates right away and that we need to keep watching the data and watching how the conflict in the Middle East unfolds before I want to make any adjustments."
On the negative side, Kansas City Fed President Jeff Schmid said, "With inflation running above the Fed's 2% definition of price stability or over five years, now is not the time to let down our guard, and we must continue to signal our commitment to price stability and our willingness to take the actions necessary to achieve our mandate."
Crude oil prices fell more than -1% on Friday to a 5-week low as the US and Iran tentatively agreed to extend a ceasefire by 60 days, fueling optimism that the Strait of Hormuz may soon reopen. Even if a truce extension is agreed, several hurdles remain before crude flows can resume. Among them, mines in the Hormuz waterway must be removed, shut-in oil fields may take months to restart, and damage to energy infrastructure from drone and missile strikes needs to be repaired.
The markets are discounting a 2% chance of a -25 bp FOMC rate cut at the next FOMC meeting on June 16-17.
The generally favorable Q1 earnings season is winding down. As of Friday, 84% of the 485 S&P 500 companies that reported Q1 earnings have beaten estimates. Q1 S&P 500 earnings are projected to climb +12% y/y, according to Bloomberg Intelligence. Stripping out the technology sector, Q1 earnings are projected to increase around +3%, the weakest in two years.
Overseas stock markets settled mixed on Friday. The Euro Stoxx 50 closed down -0.08%. China's Shanghai Composite closed down -0.73%. Japan's Nikkei Stock Average rallied to a new record high and closed up +2.53%.
Interest Rates
June 10-year T-notes (ZNM6) on Friday closed up +1 tick. The 10-year T-note yield rose +0.2 bp to 4.449%. Friday’s decline in WTI crude oil prices to a 5-week low eased inflation expectations and supported modest gains in T-notes. Also, bond dealer short covering was supportive of T-note prices as dealers covered their short positions placed against T-notes to hedge against the Treasury’s $215 billion T-note auctions over this past week.
Gains in T-notes were limited after the May MNI Chicago PMI rose more than expected at the strongest pace in 4.25 years. Also, Friday’s rally in the S&P 500 to a new record high reduced safe-haven demand for T-notes.
European government bond yields moved lower on Friday. The 10-year German Bund yield fell -2.4 bp to 2.938%. The 10-year UK gilt yield fell -0.2 bp to 4.812%.
German May CPI (EU harmonized) fell -0.1% m/m and rose +2.7% y/y, weaker than expectations of unchanged m/m and +2.8% y/y.
The German May unemployment change unexpectedly fell by -12,000, showing a stronger labor market than expectations of a +10,000 increase. The May unemployment rate unexpectedly fell -0.1 to 6.3%, showing a stronger labor market than expectations of no change at 6.4%.
ECB Governing Council member Fabio Panetta signaled his support for an ECB rate hike, saying, "The forward-looking picture system seems to call for a recalibration of the monetary policy stance to counter the risk of persistent inflationary tensions."
ECB Governing Council member Gediminas Simkus said he's likely to support an ECB rate hike in June and "a second rate hike is more likely than not."
Swaps are discounting an 89% chance of a +25 bp ECB rate hike at its next policy meeting on June 11.
US Stock Movers
Software stocks rallied on Friday, as Atlassian Corp (TEAM) closed up more than +15%, ServiceNow (NOW) closed up more than +13%, and International Business Machines (IBM) closed up more than +12% to lead gainers in the Dow Jones Industrials.

The markets are awaiting President Trump’s approval of a preliminary deal between the US and Iran to extend a ceasefire by 60 days and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Vice President Vance said late Thursday that the parties are “going back and forth on a couple of language points,” including issues relating to Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
Today’s US economic news shows strength in the economy that is positive for stocks. The May MNI Chicago PMI rose +13.5 to 62.7, stronger than expectations of 50.3 and the strongest pace of expansion in 4.25 years.
Fed comments today were mixed for stocks and bonds. On the positive side, San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly said Fed interest rate policy is in a good place and that she's "cautiously optimistic" about the US economy, noting that "there's no urgency to make an adjustment" to interest rates. Also, Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari said, "I think it's premature for me to conclude we need to be raising rates right away and that we need to keep watching the data and watching how the conflict in the Middle East unfolds before I want to make any adjustments."
On the negative side, Kansas City Fed President Jeff Schmid said, "With inflation running above the Fed's 2% definition of price stability or over five years, now is not the time to let down our guard, and we must continue to signal our commitment to price stability and our willingness to take the actions necessary to achieve our mandate."
Crude oil prices are down more than -1% today at a 5-week low as the US and Iran tentatively agreed to extend a ceasefire by 60 days, fueling optimism that the Strait of Hormuz may soon reopen. Even if a truce extension is agreed, several hurdles remain before crude flows can resume. Among them, mines in the Hormuz waterway must be removed, shut-in oil fields may take months to restart, and damage to energy infrastructure from drone and missile strikes needs to be repaired.
The markets are discounting a 3% chance of a -25 bp FOMC rate cut at the next FOMC meeting on June 16-17.
The generally favorable Q1 earnings season is winding down. As of today, 84% of the 485 S&P 500 companies that reported Q1 earnings have beaten estimates. Q1 S&P 500 earnings are projected to climb +12% y/y, according to Bloomberg Intelligence. Stripping out the technology sector, Q1 earnings are projected to increase around +3%, the weakest in two years.
Overseas stock markets are mixed today. The Euro Stoxx 50 is up +0.17%. China's Shanghai Composite closed down -0.73%. Japan's Nikkei Stock Average rallied to a new record high and closed up +2.53%.
Interest Rates
June 10-year T-notes (ZNM6) today are up +2 ticks. The 10-year T-note yield is down -0.6 bp to 4.441%. Today’s decline in WTI crude oil prices to a 5-week low is easing inflation expectations and supporting modest gains in T-notes. Also, bond dealer short covering is supportive of T-note prices as dealers cover their short positions placed against T-notes to hedge against the Treasury’s $215 billion T-note auctions this past week.
Gains in T-notes are limited after the May MNI Chicago PMI rose more than expected at the strongest pace in 4.25 years. Also, today’s rally in the S&P 500 to a new record high has reduced safe-haven demand for T-notes.
European government bond yields are moving lower today. The 10-year German Bund yield is down -1.9 bp to 2.942%. The 10-year UK gilt yield is down -1.0 bp to 4.804%.
German May CPI (EU harmonized) fell -0.1% m/m and rose +2.7% y/y, weaker than expectations of unchanged m/m and +2.8% y/y.
The German May unemployment change unexpectedly fell by -12,000, showing a stronger labor market than expectations of a +10,000 increase. The May unemployment rate unexpectedly fell -0.1 to 6.3%, showing a stronger labor market than expectations of no change at 6.4%.
ECB Governing Council member Fabio Panetta signaled his support for an ECB rate hike, saying, "The forward-looking picture system seems to call for a recalibration of the monetary policy stance to counter the risk of persistent inflationary tensions."
ECB Governing Council member Gediminas Simkus said he's likely to support an ECB rate hike in June and "a second rate hike is more likely than not."
Swaps are discounting a 92% chance of a +25 bp ECB rate hike at its next policy meeting on June 11.

Stock Indexes Rally to Record Highs on Peace Deal Hopes and AI Spending

Key Points
GE Vernova and Vistra are benefiting from soaring electricity demand.
Nextpower’s backlog is growing as more companies upgrade their solar energy systems.
Many investors don't think of energy stocks as long-term investments, since they're often pegged to cyclical commodity prices and heavily exposed to macro headwinds. Yet energy demand is expected to keep rising as populations grow and economies expand.
To capitalize on that trend, investors should focus on well-run companies with the scale and diversification to weather the energy sector's near-term volatility. These three stocks make the cut: GE Vernova (NYSE: GEV), Vistra (NYSE: VST), and Nextpower (NASDAQ: NXT).
Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue »
GE Vernova
General Electric spun off its energy division, GE Vernova, in April 2024. GE Vernova's stock has soared more than 720% since its market debut, and it could surge even higher over the next decade as its core businesses expand.
In 2025, over half of GE Vernova's orders came from its Power business, which produces gas turbines for combined-cycle plants, steam turbines for coal, gas, and nuclear plants. It also services nuclear power plants. Nearly a third of its orders came from its Electrification business, which supplies transformers, breakers, substations, and high-voltage direct current systems. It also provides services for entire electrical grids. The rest of its orders came from its smaller Wind business, which produces onshore and offshore turbines.
GE Vernova's Power and Electrification orders grew by double digits last year, driven by the expansion of the power-hungry AI, cloud, and data center markets. That growth offset the slower growth of its Wind segment, which struggled with supply chain constraints and delays.
From 2025 to 2028, analysts expect GE Vernova's revenue and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) to grow at CAGRs of 16% and 59%, respectively, as the AI data center boom continues, more countries restart their nuclear energy projects, and it right-sizes its Wind business. With an enterprise value of $271 billion, GE Vernova doesn't seem expensive at 29 times next year's adjusted EBITDA -- and it should remain one of the safest ways to profit from the surging demand for more electricity.
Vistra
Vistra, the largest power generation and retail electricity provider in the United States, operates natural gas, nuclear, coal, solar, and battery energy storage facilities. Its retail subsidiaries (including TXU Energy, Dynegy, Homefield Energy, Ambit, and other regional leaders) sell electricity to approximately five million residential, commercial, and industrial customers.
Over the past several years, Vistra has expanded by acquiring more nuclear energy and natural gas plants. It now has a combined capacity of 44 GW, enough to power up to 22 million homes, and aims to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. It recently secured a 20-year deal to supply Meta Platforms' data centers with thousands of megawatts of electricity, and will likely lock in even more hyperscalers as the AI market expands.
From 2025 to 2028, analysts expect Vistra's revenue and adjusted EBITDA to grow at CAGRs of 15% and 16%, respectively. With an enterprise value of $72.6 billion, it trades at just nine times next year's adjusted EBITDA. So even though its stock has already rallied about 585% over the past three years, it still looks undervalued relative to its long-term growth potential.
Nextpower
Nextpower is the world's largest producer of solar trackers, which automatically tilt solar panels to follow the sun throughout the day, maximizing efficiency. It also provides solar energy plants with electrical balance-of-system (eBOS) tools, robotics systems, and AI-powered software for weather prediction, automated operations, and performance optimization.
Nextpower generates most of its revenue by selling its solar trackers in North America, but it's expanding its other smaller businesses to increase the stickiness of its ecosystem. Over the next decade, the expansion could transform it into a "one-stop shop" for solar power solutions. Its backlog grew 17% to $5.25 billion at the end of fiscal 2026 (which ended this March) as more companies ramped up their renewable energy investments.
From fiscal 2026 to fiscal 2029, analysts expect Nextpower's revenue and adjusted EBITDA to both grow at a 13% CAGR as it works through those pending orders. With an enterprise value of $18.2 billion, its stock still looks reasonably valued at 20 times this year's adjusted EBITDA -- even though it's already risen more than 230% over the past three years.
