Goldman backs low-emissions stocks as climate talks startElectric carmaker Tesla (TSLA.O), lithium supplier Albemarle (ALB.N) and tyremaker Continental (CONG.DE) are among relative winners from a growing focus on emissions as climate-change talks get underway, Goldman Sachs told clients.
As world leaders gathered for a landmark climate pact in Paris on Monday, the U.S. investment bank's analysts wrote in a note that a breakdown in negotiations was unlikely and any agreement would be hailed as a success.
Goldman's pick of stocks exposed to the $600 billion low-carbon economy included low-emissions lighting stocks like Acuity Brands (AYI.N) or Germany's Hella (HLE.DE) as well as solar-panel efficiency specialist SolarEdge (SEDG.O).
European premium turbine manufacturers Vestas (VWS.CO) , Nordex (NDXG.DE) and Gamesa (GAM.MC) are also long term winners, Goldman said.
Meanwhile, Moody's warned that environmental risks would weigh on the credit quality of almost a dozen industries including mining, steel, building materials and oil and gas.
"Whether in autos, capital goods, basic materials, or utilities, both the opportunities and risks associated with spreading low carbon technologies and tightening emissions regulations have become too big to ignore," Goldman Sachs said.
