As the Q4 earnings season comes to a close, it’s time to take stock of this quarter’s best and worst performers in the renewable energy industry, including Blink Charging (NASDAQ:BLNK) and its peers.

Renewable energy companies are buoyed by the secular trend of green energy that is upending traditional power generation. Those who innovate and evolve with this dynamic market can win share while those who continue to rely on legacy technologies can see diminishing demand, which includes headwinds from increasing regulation against “dirty” energy. Additionally, these companies are at the whim of economic cycles, as interest rates can impact the willingness to invest in renewable energy projects.
