How did we pick the best renewable energy stocks in Canada?
We used Finder’s proprietary algorithm to identify the best renewable energy stocks listed on the TSX based on price, performance, profit, revenue and dividends. Our fundamental analysis filters stocks by taking into account historical prices, dividends, revenue growth, (low) price volatility and profit margins.
To avoid smaller, more speculative stocks, we only include companies with a market cap of more than CAD $200 million. In order to better compare historical data, we filtered out stocks that have been listed for less than five years.
We do not guarantee the performance or returns of any investment. Our methodology might filter out some good stocks, so our decision to include or exclude a stock from this list does not indicate whether it’s a good or bad investment. For more info about our algorithm, check out our stock ranking page.
The algorithm was last updated 27 January 2021. This list and data was compiled July 8, 2021.
