On CAPS, 98% of the 434 members who have rated Ameresco believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.
Earlier this month, one of those bulls, fellow Fool Alex Scherer (TMFEnochRoot), tapped Ameresco as a particularly tempting bargain opportunity:
Feels very washed out, abandoned by the market here. Latest evidence of that: the only large sell-side firm covering it just discontinued their entire renewable energy sector coverage.
Been all promise and no execution since its IPO, but still has a large and growing backlog of business that can support dramatic sales/earnings growth if/when clients decide to get off the sidelines and start financing their projects.
If you want market-thumping returns, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Of course, despite a perfect five-star rating, Ameresco may not be your top choice.
