Top Clean Energy Stocks For 2019

tags:HTY,REG,WFT,JWN,OSK,GRMN, What happened 

Shares of natural gas distributor Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (NASDAQ:CLNE) were down 10.2% at the close of trading Monday on no real news. Shares were down as much as 11.8% in early morning trading, and were down by high single digits for most of the day. 

So what

Oddly enough, crude oil is trading slightly higher today with WTI crude up 0.3% and Brent crude up 1.5% on the day, which is usually a bullish sign for Clean Energy Fuels. Natural gas is also down 1%, which should lower input costs, another factor that usually pushes the stock higher.

Sometimes stocks trade on momentum or factors that have nothing to do with fundamentals, and that appears to be what's happening today. Shares were also down double digits last Thursday on an analyst downgrade, so this could be momentum from that move as well.

  Weatherford International (NYSE:WFT) has been an undead company for several years now. Despite the fact that it hasn't produced a profitable year since 2012, has been burning through cash for longer, and has more debt than the total capitalization of the business, it somehow hasn't gone bankrupt. This entire time, management has been promising a turnaround with ambitious plans to reduce its costs, but these efforts have been all for naught as its financial situation continues to worsen.

Top Clean Energy Stocks For 2019: Nordstrom Inc.(JWN)

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Garrett Baldwin]
  Crude oil prices continue to remain in focus after Brent crude hit $80.00 per barrel. The benchmark crude touched $80.00, as markets are concerned about the impact renewed Iranian sanctions will have on global supply. French oil giant Total announced Wednesday that it was abandoning a gas project in Iran after failing to obtain a waiver from the Trump administration to do business in Iran. The sanctions are expected to decline global output at a time that OPEC is already working diligently to push oil prices higher by containing excessive global production.

  Nordstrom (NYSE:JWN) had a good quarter and raised its forecast for the full year. That's a combination that investors generally like, and shares in the company rose significantly after the company reported.

• [By Chris Lange]

  Nordstrom Inc. (NYSE: JWN) released its fiscal first-quarter financial results after the markets closed on Thursday. The retailer said that it had $0.51 in earnings per share (EPS) on $3.56 billion in revenue, compared with consensus estimates from Thomson Reuters that called for $0.44 in EPS on revenue of $3.46 billion. The same period of last year reportedly had EPS of $0.37 and $3.35 billion in revenue.

  A lot has changed since then, however. J.C. Penney badly underperformed its own comparable sales target in the second half of 2016, as comparable sales fell instead of hitting the 3-4% mark the company had projected. Its peers continued to struggle -- Macy's (NYSE:M), Kohl's (NYSE:KSS), and Nordstrom (NYSE:JWN) all reported declining comps in the fourth quarter, and Macy's said last year it would close 100 stores.

  Nordstrom Inc. (NYSE: JWN) may reopen plans for a leveraged buyout after good holiday results. According to The Wall Street Journal:

  The failed effort by the Nordstrom family to take the namesake department store chain private will be remembered as a missed opportunity amid the selloff in retailers' stocks last fall.

Top Clean Energy Stocks For 2019: Garmin Ltd.(GRMN)

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Demitrios Kalogeropoulos]

  Garmin's (NASDAQ:GRMN) dividend lacks the steady track record that many investors prefer. The GPS device maker only recently raised its payout after holding it steady for almost three years. However, if you can accept that checkered past you might find plenty to like about this stock.

• [By Rick Munarriz]

  It's time to see if kids really want to strap fitness trackers around their wrists. Garmin (NASDAQ:GRMN) is teaming up with Disney (NYSE:DIS) to try to give its kid-friendly vivofit jr. product line a fairy-tale ending.

• [By Demitrios Kalogeropoulos]

  Garmin's (NASDAQ:GRMN) business is looking up. That's been true for about two years now, but the GPS device and wearables specialist recently announced even stronger growth on both the top and bottom lines.
