Best Clean Energy Stocks To Buy For 2014

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has selected Engility Holdings (NYSE: EGL  ) to be part of a $400 million contract to develop "clean energy" solutions. Most of the work will be done for foreign countries.

On Wednesday, USAID named Engility a prime contractor under a contract to support renewable energy development in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Sudan, and Yemen. The effect of this kind of indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract is to authorize Engility to bid on -- but not guarantee that it will win -- individual task orders that will be issued under the contract over the next five years.

Task orders that Engility can now compete for include providing legal, regulatory, and corporate governance advice on energy sector reform, providing training in relation to energy services, and otherwise "fostering private sector participation and investment" in the clean energy sector. Demonstration projects involving clean energy may also be commissioned, aimed at helping to transition the targeted countries to a "low carbon development trajectory."

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Rahemtulla]

  Although the world’s largest automaker recently reported that its fourth-quarter net income fell 77%, its full-year profits of $4.7 billion were almost double last year’s tally, which is very impressive. Furthermore, the company announced that its production levels were recovering faster than expected from the March earthquake and were now expected to be 70% of pre-earthquake levels by June instead of its earlier April 22nd estimate of 50%. Rumors have been floating that production might actually get back up to 90% by June, but Toyota officials deny this.  

  The company has more than $43 billion in cash and trades at a low valuation of 11 times forward earnings and 0.5 times sales. If the world economy continues to grow, Toyota should benefit from the same strengthening consumer demand that I discussed in my article Ford Motor is Hitting on All Cylinders.
