While most investors have written off clean energy as a lost cause, Tuesday's 4% surge in the sector's benchmark ETF signals something fundamental may be shifting. What smart money discovered this week could completely change how you think about renewable energy investments—and timing may be everything.

The answer is simple: Energy stocks go vertical.
And one under-the-radar American company could be the biggest winner.
The clean energy sector staged a dramatic comeback Tuesday, with renewable energy stocks posting their strongest gains in weeks as investors reassessed the beaten-down industry's prospects. The WilderHill Clean Energy ETF (PBW), a key benchmark for the sector, surged 4% in what analysts called its best single-day performance since May 12, breaking a three-day losing streak that had pushed the fund to near-historic lows.
Tuesday's gains capped off what has been a remarkable month for clean energy stocks, with the PBW fund posting a 14.7% gain in May—its strongest monthly performance since January 2023. Individual renewable energy companies led the charge, with residential solar installer Sunrun jumping 16%, while electric aviation company Joby Aviation climbed 9%. Hydrogen fuel cell maker Plug Power added 13%, and semiconductor company Navitas surged 17%, reflecting broad-based strength across multiple clean energy subsectors.
The rally represents a stunning reversal for a sector that had been in free fall for years. The WilderHill Clean Energy ETF had previously broken a brutal five-month losing streak just in May, highlighting how oversold these stocks had become before this week's unexpected surge.
Perhaps most surprising to investors has been the evolving stance from the Trump administration on renewable energy projects. The president recently announced that construction on a New York offshore wind farm could resume, reversing an earlier order to stop the project. This marked the first offshore wind project designed to bring electricity directly to New York City, signaling a more pragmatic approach to energy policy than many had anticipated.
The policy shift helped lift solar stocks across the board, with the Invesco Solar ETF (TAN) climbing 1.7% on the announcement. Canadian Solar emerged as one of the day's best performers, gaining more than 4%, while Array Technologies jumped more than 5% as investors reassessed the regulatory landscape for renewable energy development.

Industry analysts point to several converging factors that may be driving renewed interest in clean energy stocks. After years of devastating losses that saw some companies decline more than 70% from their peaks, valuations have reached levels that even skeptical investors are finding difficult to ignore. The sector's dramatic underperformance relative to the broader market has created what some strategists describe as "asymmetric risk-reward" opportunities.
| Clean Energy ETFs | Tuesday Gain | May Performance | YTD Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| WilderHill Clean Energy (PBW) | +4.0% | +14.7% | -18.3% |
| Invesco Solar ETF (TAN) | +1.7% | +12.1% | -22.1% |
| First Trust Wind ETF (FAN) | +2.3% | +8.4% | -15.7% |
Additionally, the recent strength comes as global energy markets face increasing volatility, with traditional energy sources experiencing their own supply chain challenges. This backdrop has prompted some institutional investors to revisit renewable energy as both a diversification play and a potential inflation hedge, according to market observers.
Behind the scenes, massive infrastructure investments continue to flow into renewable energy projects despite political headwinds. Large-scale solar and wind installations are proceeding across multiple states, driven by economic fundamentals rather than purely policy considerations. The combination of improving technology costs and grid modernization requirements is creating sustained demand for clean energy solutions, industry executives report.
Corporate buyers are also increasingly turning to renewable energy for cost savings rather than environmental reasons alone. This shift toward economic-driven adoption provides a more stable foundation for the sector's growth prospects, according to energy market analysts.
The clean energy sector's sudden reversal after years of brutal declines may represent more than just a temporary bounce. With valuations at multi-year lows and policy uncertainty beginning to clear, contrarian investors are eyeing this space for potential outsized returns. The confluence of oversold conditions, improving fundamentals, and shifting political dynamics could create a rare opportunity for those willing to stomach continued volatility.
Smart money appears to be positioning for a sustained recovery rather than a quick trade, with institutional buying evident across multiple renewable energy subsectors. For investors who have been waiting for signs of life in this devastated sector, the current setup may offer the kind of asymmetric opportunity that defines the best long-term investments.
Have researchers at MIT just unlocked the "holy grail" of clean energy?
Scientists have recently made a breakthrough in a radical new power source we're calling "Helios" technology.
This game-changing tech could create up to 100 million times more energy than coal, oil, or natural gas.
It produces no carbon emissions or long-lived radioactive waste.
And - most incredibly of all - its primary fuel is the most abundant element in the universe.
In other words, this marvel of physics has the potential to generate virtually limitless energy.
And scientists at an obscure startup have just made a breakthrough that could trigger mass adoption.
This startup could become the Nvidia of "Helios" Technology.
Trump just posted something on Truth Social that sent Tesla into a 9% nosedive. His threat to "terminate Elon's Governmental Subsidies and Contracts" caught Wall Street completely off guard. But there's a much bigger story behind why this feud erupted so suddenly.
After years of staying private, 13 unicorns worth over $500 billion combined are preparing to go public. The first could debut within weeks. Market insiders are calling this the biggest opportunity since 2021, but there's a critical deadline approaching.
While you weren't watching, clean energy just posted its best month since January 2023—up 14.7% in May alone. Individual stocks like Sunrun jumped 16% Tuesday. The momentum is building, and the biggest opportunities may still be ahead as this devastated sector shows signs of life.
