3 energy transition equities you must have in your portfolio
Investors in energy transition equities have reasons to be optimistic in 2022. After a rough 2021, when supply chain pressures and high inflation weighed on profits, opportunities in the sector opened up.
Last year brought pain for investors in energy transition equities. Rising inflation and ongoing supply chain pressures affected the profitability of many companies in the sector.
But the decline in price coupled with the supply chain pressures easing in some areas have led to attractive new opportunities within the sector. Moreover, governments prepare huge packages to support the energy transition phase, such as in the United States and Europe.
