We recently published a list of Why These Energy Stocks Are Losing This Week. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Amplify Energy Corp. (NYSE:AMPY) stands against other energy stocks that are losing this week.
The broader energy sector has risen by just 0.12% over the last 12 months as of the writing of this piece, against gains of over 8.6% by the wider market. One sector that has been increasingly bearish recently is that of renewable energy, with green indexes down to five-year lows as several policies adopted by the Trump administration have hampered the industry’s growth.
President Trump reversed most of Biden’s energy and climate policies right on the very first day when he took office, including withdrawing from the Paris Agreement, halting offshore wind permits for now, and eliminating the so-called ‘electric vehicle mandate’. The President wants to refocus the country’s efforts on the fossil fuel industry, while conservatives push Congress to wipe out tax incentives for clean energy. As a result, more than half of the nearly $30 billion in clean technology factories that were scheduled to come online this year — including manufacturing facilities for solar, wind, batteries, and electric vehicles — are now predicted to face delays or cancellations, according to a report by BloombergNEF.
The Clean Energy Transition Index, an important barometer that tracks the performance of big clean energy companies, has plunged by 13% over the last 12 months, including a decline of over 11% since election day in November.
