The end of the earnings season is always a good time to take a step back and see who shined (and who not so much). Let’s take a look at how renewable energy stocks fared in Q3, starting with EnerSys (NYSE: ENS).

Renewable energy companies are buoyed by the secular trend of green energy that is upending traditional power generation. Those who innovate and evolve with this dynamic market can win share while those who continue to rely on legacy technologies can see diminishing demand, which includes headwinds from increasing regulation against “dirty” energy. Additionally, these companies are at the whim of economic cycles, as interest rates can impact the willingness to invest in renewable energy projects.

The 17 renewable energy stocks we track reported a satisfactory Q3. As a group, revenues beat analysts’ consensus estimates by 5.8% while next quarter’s revenue guidance was in line.

While some renewable energy stocks have fared somewhat better than others, they have collectively declined. On average, share prices are down 1.3% since the latest earnings results.
