This is not a policy trade. It is an equipment trade. If customers keep spending on power, storage, and efficiency, this group still has room.
NYC Signals More (Sponsored)
Last year I ran for Mayor of New York City... and lost to a 34-year-old Democratic Socialist.
Now he wants to spend $70 million just to study government-run grocery stores. Raise property taxes 9.5%. And hike taxes on every corporation and high earner. I've spent 30 years on Wall Street. And I'm convinced what's starting in New York is just the beginning.
I've put together a free analysis explaining exactly what's coming, and what you can do about it.
Read it here.
Theme: Practical Electrification
Electrification is no longer one giant story. It is a stack of smaller businesses doing real work: storage, trackers, electrical gear, distributed power, and energy-efficiency projects. That matters because you do not need one perfect political backdrop for this theme to work. You just need customers to keep funding useful upgrades.
What’s Driving It
The numbers are still real. Shoals reported Q4 2025 revenue of $148.3 million, up 39%, with backlog and awarded orders of $747.6 million, up 17.8%. Array reported full-year 2025 revenue of $1.28 billion, up 40%, with a year-end order book of $2.2 billion and 2026 revenue guidance of $1.4 billion to $1.5 billion.
Ameresco reported full-year 2025 revenue up 29% to $1.94 billion, and said backlog plus awarded projects stood at $4.8 billion. EnerSys posted fiscal Q3 2026 net sales of $919.1 million and adjusted EPS of $2.77. Bloom Energy reported full-year 2025 revenue of $2.02 billion, up 37.3%, with current backlog of about $20 billion.
Here is the chain reaction:
Power demand rises → customers fund upgrades
Upgrades get funded → gear, storage, and systems demand stays healthy
Demand stays healthy → margins improve for the names with scale and execution
Margins improve → cash flow gets cleaner
Cleaner cash flow → the market starts rewarding operators instead of stories
What Could Go Right
If project pipelines hold and orders convert, this theme keeps working. The better names already have the three things you want: revenue growth, visible backlog, and a reason to believe 2026 can still move higher. This is not a basket built on hope. It is a basket built on booked demand and customers still spending money on real equipment.
What Could Go Wrong
This group still carries project-timing risk, tariff risk, and margin risk. If financing tightens or deployments slip, even good setups can wobble. And because a few of these names already trade on a recovery narrative, a good quarter may not be enough if guidance softens.
Shoals Technologies (SHLS)
What it does: Shoals sells electrical balance-of-system gear used in large-scale solar and power projects. In plain English, it helps connect and organize the parts that make utility-scale energy systems actually work.
Why it fits: This is one of the cleanest hardware names in the basket. Shoals is not selling a dream. It is selling the stuff that gets ordered when projects move forward. Q4 2025 revenue came in at $148.3 million, up 39%, while adjusted EBITDA rose to $30.3 million.
Backlog and awarded orders climbed to $747.6 million, which matters because it gives you a real line of sight into demand instead of a lot of vague optimism.
What stands out:
The setup is attractive because Shoals already has decent operating leverage. If utility-scale activity stays solid, you do not need heroic revenue growth for earnings to move nicely. This is also one of the names in the theme that can still benefit even if investors cool on the louder renewable-energy stories, because the business is tied to practical project execution rather than a giant macro narrative.
What to watch:
You want backlog conversion and margin stability. If orders stay healthy but margins start slipping, the stock will lose some of its appeal fast. Tariffs and project timing are the two obvious pressure points.
The Takeaway: Buy this if you want one of the cleanest electrification setups with real backlog and real operating momentum.
The risk is that tariff pressure or project delays cut into margin and slow the earnings story.
Array Technologies (ARRY)
What it does: Array makes solar tracking systems that help utility-scale projects produce more electricity by following the sun more efficiently.
Why it fits: Array is the more direct project-cycle name in the group. It reported full-year 2025 revenue of $1.28 billion, up 40%, with adjusted EBITDA of $187.6 million and a year-end order book of $2.2 billion. Management guided 2026 revenue to $1.4 billion to $1.5 billion, which tells you the company still sees enough demand in front of it to stay aggressive.
What stands out:
This one gives you more upside torque than some of the steadier names in the basket because the stock is more tied to utility-scale project momentum. If that part of the market keeps moving, Array has room. The order book is the real story here. A lot of companies talk about demand. Array can point to signed business.
What to watch:
Keep an eye on margins, not just revenue. The company can put up a big top line and still frustrate the market if tariff costs, pricing pressure, or project mix hurt profitability. This is not a stock you own blindly. It is a stock you own because the pipeline is still strong and execution is holding up.
The Takeaway: Buy this if you want upside tied to real project momentum and a strong order book.
The risk is that tariffs, pricing pressure, or delayed starts turn a strong demand story into a messy margin story.

Ameresco (AMRC)
What it does: Ameresco develops and manages energy-efficiency, renewable infrastructure, and distributed-energy projects for commercial, government, and institutional customers.
Why it fits: Ameresco gives you the backlog-and-execution version of the theme. Full-year 2025 revenue rose 29% to $1.94 billion, and Q4 revenue reached a record $581.0 million.
The company ended the year with $4.8 billion in backlog plus awarded projects, which is exactly the kind of number you want when the market is still trying to decide which project names are real and which are mostly PowerPoint.
What stands out:
Ameresco is useful because it gives you exposure to the actual implementation side of efficiency and energy infrastructure. That means more contract and execution risk, but also more real operating visibility than a lot of smaller concept names.
If you believe customers will keep paying for energy savings and distributed infrastructure, Ameresco is one of the more grounded ways to express that.
What to watch:
Project timing always matters here. You want to see backlog convert into revenue cleanly and margins stay respectable. This stock works best when management sounds like builders, not promoters.
The Takeaway: Buy this if you want a real project pipeline and more operating substance than hype.
The risk is that project timing stays lumpy and pushes revenue around enough to shake confidence.
EnerSys (ENS)
What it does: EnerSys sells industrial batteries, stored-energy systems, and related power solutions used in telecom, data centers, logistics, and industrial settings.
Why it fits: EnerSys is the steadier industrial-storage name here. Fiscal Q3 2026 net sales came in at $919.1 million, up 1.4%, and adjusted diluted EPS was $2.77. The company also pointed to continued demand in data center and specialty markets, which helps separate it from the more sentiment-driven clean-energy names.
What stands out:
This is the name you buy when you want exposure to power reliability and storage without having to babysit a policy-sensitive stock every day. It is less flashy, but that is part of the point. If data center, telecom, and industrial backup-power demand remain healthy, EnerSys can keep compounding without needing the market to fall back in love with renewables.
What to watch:
Watch margins and volume mix. If the stronger specialty categories keep carrying the business, the stock stays attractive. If broader industrial softness starts dragging on demand, the story cools.
The Takeaway: Own this if you want storage and power reliability without the solar-stock mood swings.
The risk is that it lags the hotter names if the market starts chasing pure momentum again.

Bloom Energy (BE)
What it does: Bloom sells fuel-cell-based distributed energy systems that help commercial and industrial customers generate on-site power.
Why it fits: Bloom adds a different flavor to the basket. It is not just helping projects get built. It is helping customers generate power where they need it. Full-year 2025 revenue reached $2.02 billion, up 37.3%, with positive operating cash flow of $113.9 million and a current backlog of about $20 billion. That backlog is large enough to matter, and the revenue scale is now hard to dismiss.
What stands out:
Bloom gives you direct exposure to one of the most practical ideas in the market right now: customers want more reliable power and do not want to wait forever for someone else to solve the problem. If energy reliability stays a priority, Bloom has a real seat at the table.
What to watch:
The story is strong, but margins still matter. Bloom has had enough volatility over time that you should demand proof the revenue growth is translating into a cleaner, more durable earnings profile.
The Takeaway: Buy this if you want the biggest backlog and the strongest scale story in the basket.
The risk is that margin volatility keeps the stock from fully cashing in on the revenue growth.
