In the Q4 2020 Investor Letter, the fund highlighted a few stocks and TPI Composites Inc (NASDAQ:TPIC) is one of them. TPI Composites Inc (NASDAQ:TPIC) engages in the manufacture of composite wind blades for the wind energy market. In the last three months, TPI Composites Inc (NASDAQ:TPIC) stock gained 8.5% and on April 1st it had a closing price of $57.26. Here is what the fund said:
“TPI Composites, Inc. (TPIC) was also a large contributor. Occasionally, we’re asked how our holdings measure up to the priorities of the Democratic Party. In general, we believe a strong company will thrive regardless of which political party is in power. But it’s possible some of our holdings will align particularly well with the incoming Democratic agenda. TPI Composites is a good example of a company that’s well-positioned for green-energy initiatives. The company designs and manufactures composite wind blades for wind energy. The stock was up strongly after TPI announced third-quarter net sales had increased 23.5% compared to the year-ago period. We believe some of this increase was due to the resumption of business that had been postponed during the height of the Covid anxiety. We’d like to find more alternative-energy companies to invest in, but it’s often difficult to uncover companies in this segment that meet our valuation and business-quality standards.”
