It&#8217;s one of only a handful of renewable energy ETFs trading on U.S. exchanges. QCLN can also generate enormous gains, such as its 184% total return in 2020. However, it&#8217;s<span class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\"> also capable of doing precisely the opposite. Today, QCLN&#8217;s constituents are trading about as far from their 52-week high prices than any other U.S. Equity ETF on the market. If you want to be greedy when others are fearful, there&#8217;s no better time to buy QCLN.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\"><span>To be sure, QCLN is highly speculative, as I discussed in my <\/span><span>last review in November 2022<\/span><span>. However, speculation has a place in some portfolios as long as you know the risks. Today, I will examine QCLN&#8217;s past performance, current fundamentals, and the outlook for the renewable energy market. While not for me, I hope<span class=\"paywall-full-content no-summary-bullets invisible\"> this information will help you decide if QCLN is worth the gamble.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">QCLN Overview<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Strategy Discussion and Portfolio Composition<\/h3>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">QCLN tracks the Nasdaq Clean Edge Green Energy Index, selecting U.S.-listed common stocks and ADRs classified as technology manufacturers, developers, distributors, or installers in the following four sub-sectors:<\/p>\n<ol class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<li>Advanced Materials<\/li>\n<li>Energy Intelligence<\/li>\n<li>Renewable Electricity<\/li>\n<li>Energy Storage &amp; Conservation<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Selections must have a minimum market capitalization of $150 million, an average daily trading volume of at least 100,000 shares, and a closing price per share above $1. The Index follows a modified market-cap-weighting scheme, rebalances quarter, and reconstitutes semi-annually. Currently, QCLN&#8217;s GICS sub-industry composition is as follows:<\/p>\n<ol class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<li>Semiconductors: 20.72%<\/li>\n<li>Electrical Components &amp; Equipment (Industrials): 18.35%<\/li>\n<li>Semiconductor Materials &amp; Equipment: 16.32%<\/li>\n<li>Automobile Manufacturers (Consumer Discretionary): 14.32%<\/li>\n<li>Semiconductors (Technology): 11.98%<\/li>\n<li>Renewable Electricity (Utilities): 9.53%<\/li>\n<li>Specialty Chemicals (Materials): 8.10%<\/li>\n<li>Electronic Equipment &amp; Instruments (Technology): 3.97%<\/li>\n<li>Mortgage REITs (Financials): 1.58%<\/li>\n<li>Diversified Metals &amp; Mining (Materials): 1.26%<\/li>\n<li>Heavy Electrical Equipment (Industrials): 1.25%<\/li>\n<li>Fertilizers &amp; Agricultural Chemicals (Materials): 1.12%<\/li>\n<li>Independent Power Producers &amp; Energy Traders (Utilities): 0.94%<\/li>\n<li>Oil &amp; Gas Storage &amp; Transportation (Energy): 0.92%<\/li>\n<li>Construction &amp; Engineering (Industrials): 0.41%<\/li>\n<li>Oil &amp; Gas Refining &amp; Marketing (Energy): 0.30%<\/li>\n<li>Motorcycle Manufacturers (Consumer Discretionary): 0.22%<\/li>\n<li>Construction Machinery &amp; Heavy Transportation Equipment: 0.16%<\/li>\n<li>Automotive Retail (Consumer Discretionary): 0.13%<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><span>The two semiconductor sub-industries total 37% of QCLN, so it&#8217;s surprising that the ETF has lagged the S&amp;P 500 Index by 74% since my last review. But QCLN doesn&#8217;t hold Nvidia (<\/span>NVDA<span>), Micron Technology (<\/span>MU<span>), or Broadcom (<\/span>AVGO<span>). Instead, it is led by First Solar (<\/span>FSLR<span>), Enphase Energy (<\/span>ENPH<span>), and ON Semiconductor (<\/span>ON<span>), three stocks down 19.62%, 37.48%, and 3.89% over the last year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/51194860-17118343710416415.png\" alt=\"QCLN Top Ten Holdings\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\"><span>First Trust<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><span>The divergence of returns is evidence that a rising tide does not lift all boats when it comes to the semiconductor industry. Among 89 stocks, one-year price returns were as low as -86.64% and 74.45% for Maxeon Solar Technologies (MAXN) and SolarEdge Technologies (<\/span>SEDG<span>), and unfortunately, QCLN holds both. The difference is unquestionably quality. While QCLN&#8217;s ten semiconductor holdings have a 5.43\/10 Profit Score, calculated using individual Seeking Alpha Profitability Grades, the iShares Semiconductor ETF (<\/span>SOXX<span>) scores 9.08\/10. I&#8217;ll review QCLN&#8217;s fundamentals in more detail shortly, but first, let&#8217;s look at QCLN&#8217;s track record since its February 2007 start date.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Performance Analysis<\/h3>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">The following chart highlights how QCLN has delivered a 3.78% annualized gain since its inception, substantially less than the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPY) and the Invesco QQQ ETF (QQQ). Volatility was about twice as much, but the primary draw is the 183.99% &#8220;best year&#8221; figure from 2020.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/51194860-17119043396874793.png\" alt=\"QCLN vs. SPY vs. QQQ Performance\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\"><span>Portfolio Visualizer<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">QCLN also gained 63.75% in 2007 and 93.91% in 2013. However, the ETF declined the subsequent year in both cases and has only delivered positive returns in consecutive years in 2019-2020. After posting losses of 3.21%, 30.37%, 10.03%, and 17.76% from 2021 to 2024 YTD, it&#8217;s not unreasonable to believe a strong rebound is on the horizon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">In my investment thesis, I mentioned how QCLN&#8217;s constituents are trading farther from their 52-week high prices more than nearly every other ETF. That&#8217;s based on applying the following formula to 839 funds:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n[Current Price &#8211; 52 Week Low] \/ [ 52 Week High &#8211; 52 Week Low]\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><span>QCLN&#8217;s result was 31.48%, slightly ahead of the ALPS Clean Energy ETF (<\/span>ACES<span>) and about 10% lower than the ProShares S&amp;P Kensho Cleantech ETF (<\/span>CTEX<span>). In other words, clean energy stocks are undoubtedly struggling across the board, so let&#8217;s look closer at the fundamentals to see what&#8217;s happening.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">QCLN Analysis<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">The following table highlights selected fundamental metrics for QCLN&#8217;s top 25 holdings, totaling 85.45% of the portfolio. As comparators, I&#8217;ve also included metrics for ACES, CTEX, and the SPDR S&amp;P Kensho Power ETF (CNRG), another Renewable Energy ETF to consider.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/51194860-17119714824435773.png\" alt=\"QCLN vs. ACES vs. CTEX vs. CNRG Fundamentals\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\"><span>The Sunday Investor<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Here are four observations:<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">1. QCLN has a 1.60 five-year beta, indicating it&#8217;s highly volatile compared to the broader market. We saw this earlier in the performance chart, but this figure suggests it&#8217;s even more volatile than its peers. That&#8217;s been the case since CTEX launched in September 2021, while CNRG was the least volatile and held up the best.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/51194860-17119715797273088.png\" alt=\"QCLN vs. ACES vs. CTEX vs. CNRG Performance\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\"><span>Portfolio Visualizer<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><span>2. Most renewable energy stocks are in the small- and mid-cap categories. QCLN has the highest weighted average market capitalization ($50 billion), but that&#8217;s only due to its relatively high allocation to Tesla (<\/span>TSLA<span>). Tesla remains a growth stock, but that growth is slowing. Tesla has a 45.32% annualized three-year sales growth rate, but the company only grew sales by 18.80% over the last year, with similar expectations (16.86%) for the next year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">That pattern is consistent for QCLN (23.94% \/ 11.63% \/ 13.32%). However, the estimated growth rates for these stocks are likely unreliable. Consider how QCLN&#8217;s estimated one-year sales growth rate was 31.57% in November 2022, which didn&#8217;t materialize.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">3. QCLN&#8217;s valuation ratios are also difficult to calculate. The reason is that 27\/56 constituents (22.33% of the portfolio by weight) posted a net income loss over the last twelve months and thus don&#8217;t have a P\/E. Therefore, only QCLN&#8217;s 4.61x trailing price-sales ratio is relevant, and unfortunately, it&#8217;s the highest of the four ETFs. QCLN&#8217;s 23.56x trailing price-cash flow ratio, which covers about 78% of the portfolio, is also the highest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><span>4. QCLN&#8217;s share price has declined, in part, because its constituents missed sales expectations by 2.43% in the last quarter. The table above also shows an earnings surprise of 11.66%, but top holdings like First Solar, Enphase Energy, and ON Semiconductor delivered surprises in the low-single-digits or worse. Others, like Albemarle (<\/span>ALB<span>), beat EPS expectations by 66.72%, and as shown below, the large surprises, both positive and negative, have been the norm over the last four quarters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/51194860-1711984189806686.png\" alt=\"ALB Earnings Surprises\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\"><span>Seeking Alpha<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><span>ALB, a top lithium producer, has seen its share price decline by 39.61% over the last year as lithium prices sank. Entering 2023, the bullish argument was tight supply and strong demand for EVs. However, <\/span><span>BloombergNEF<\/span><span> now sees a slowdown in annual growth rates, citing Tesla&#8217;s &#8220;aging model lineup&#8221; and lower consumer demand forecasts from GM and Ford.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/51194860-17119853735944288.png\" alt=\"Bloomberg EV Sales Forecast\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\"><span>Bloomberg<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Investment Recommendation<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">QCLN is a highly speculative play that should only form a small portion of your portfolio, depending on your risk tolerance. Unfortunately, its fundamentals don&#8217;t offer much insight other than that Wall Street analysts don&#8217;t know where the renewable energy industry is heading, either. On the one hand, this is good news. QCLN&#8217;s is one of the most beaten-down ETFs over the last year, and there&#8217;s a decent chance it&#8217;s oversold. However, assigning a buy rating would suggest its fundamentals are solid, and I have insight into where commodity prices, particularly lithium, are headed, which is not the case. Therefore, while enormous short-term gains are possible, I recommend investors avoid QCLN and focus on less-speculative growth ETFs instead.
