The LSEG Retail/Restaurant Index reported Q1 2026 earnings growth of 27.2%.

I am downgrading the Invesco WilderHill Clean Energy ETF due to concerns with its composition and the overall challenges in the clean energy sector. The ETF's stock selection is based on non-financial criteria like relevance to climate change and biodiversity, leading to a seemingly arbitrary mix of companies.
