Clean energy stocks spiked on Tuesday, with First Solar Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSLR#NASDAQ">FSLR</a>) jumping more than <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/renewable-energy">20% during early trading</a>.
The rally came after House Republicans delivered a better-than-feared tax proposal for renewable energy incentives.
The market had braced for a potential gutting of clean energy provisions under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), but the House GOP's proposed tax legislation, while imposing several phaseouts and rollbacks, kept many of the core credits intact.
This drove a sector-wide relief rally that sent major solar names and exchange-traded funds sharply higher.
First Solar has rallied 35% over the past two days, putting it on track for the strongest 2-day rally since 2013. 
The Invesco Solar ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAN#NYSE">TAN</a>) rose 6.5% Tuesday after a 4% rally on Monday, marking its best two-day performance in more than 12 months. The Invesco WilderHill Clean Energy ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PBW#NYSE">PBW</a>) followed suit, rising 3.4% Tuesday after a 5.1% surge on Monday.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What's Inside The GOP Tax Bill Proposal?</h3>
The legislation, up for a House Ways and Means Committee vote Tuesday afternoon, includes several revisions to clean energy tax credits but stops short of dismantling them.
Key changes include:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>25D residential solar tax credit (30%) ends for projects not installed by end-2025.</li>
<li>48E investment credit, used by residential and utility-scale solar, begins phasing out in 2029.</li>
<li>45X manufacturing credit ends after 2031, instead of phasing down in 2032.</li>
<li>45Y clean energy production credit changes qualification from "start of construction" to "placed in service" and phases down from 80% if placed in service during calendar year 2029, and then declines by 20% per year until reaching 0% in 2031.</li>
<li>Credit transferability was repealed, eliminating the ability to monetize credits by selling to large taxpayers</li>
<li>Additional cuts to funding, including $27 billion from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund</li>
</ul>
A crucial clause excludes 45X credit eligibility for firms receiving significant support from foreign entities of concern, defined by national security laws.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Manufacturers Seen As Primary Winners</h3>
Analysts at Goldman Sachs said the proposal is "not as negative as initially feared," particularly for domestic clean energy manufacturers.
&#8220;We believe the initial reaction to the proposed tax plan is relatively bullish [&#8230;] as we believe investors had been pricing in a severely bearish possible outcome – such as the immediate repeal of IRA – and the phase out looks rather measured,&#8221; the firm&#8217;s analyst Brian Lee, CFA, said.
Companies with high U.S. revenue exposure, such as Sunrun Inc., Shoals Technologies Group Inc., First Solar Inc., and Array Technologies Inc., stand to benefit the most, according to the expert.
For First Solar, the revision to the 45X credit is especially supportive, potentially contributing 75% of its 2026 earnings per share, according to Goldman estimates. The company's U.S.-based manufacturing footprint could also gain from the foreign-entity restrictions.
Conversely, residential-focused firms like Enphase Energy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENPH#NASDAQ">ENPH</a>) and SolarEdge Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEDG#NASDAQ">SEDG</a>) may face pressure from the removal of the 25D credit in 2026, which could hurt demand for solar loan and cash sale products.

CVS Health Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVS#NYSE">CVS</a>) and The Cigna Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CI#NYSE">CI</a>) shares trading lower Tuesday. President Donald Trump on Monday signed an executive order aimed at reducing the cost <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42517567/cvs-cigna-unitedhealth-shares-slide-as-trump-targets-drug-middleman">of prescription drugs.</a>
What To Know: According to the Wall Street Journal, the executive order directs Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy to coordinate with pharmaceutical companies over the next month to lower drug prices. It also directs both the U.S. Trade Representative and the Commerce Department to take steps to combat unreasonable and discriminatory policies in foreign countries.
The order essentially aims to tie U.S. drug prices to those paid by other countries, many of which pay less due to government-negotiated rates. Trump said the order equalizes costs, arguing that Americans have been subsidizing cheaper prices abroad.
It also allows for Kennedy to impose rules and restrictions on drug companies and imports, if the companies don&#8217;t lower prices within 180 days.
The order doesn't clarify whether the pricing changes would affect Medicare or Medicaid.
CVS owns CVS Caremark and Cigna owns Express Scripts, both of which operate as pharmacy benefit managers (PBM). Investors may be reacting to the executive order's potential to undercut PBM revenues by tying U.S. drug prices to international rates rather than prices negotiated by PBMs.
CVS and Cigna may also be under pressure after UnitedHealth <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45373368/unitedhealth-stock-plunges-names-new-ceo-suspends-2025-guidance">suspended its guidance</a>, as investors consider whether the same factors could impact the broader industry.

<h3>The Relevance of Insider Transactions</h3>
Insightful as they may be, insider transactions should be considered alongside a thorough examination of other investment criteria.
In legal terms, an "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of a company's equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.
When a company insider makes a new purchase, that is an indication that they expect the stock to rise.
Insider sells, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean that the seller thinks the stock will go down. 
<h3>Important Transaction Codes</h3>
Delving into transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> typically prioritize those unfolding in the open market, as precisely outlined in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 indicates a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

<h3>Why Insider Activity Matters in Finance</h3>
It's important to note that insider transactions alone should not dictate investment decisions, but they can provide valuable insights.
In legal terms, an "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of a company's equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.
When a company insider makes a new purchase, that is an indication that they expect the stock to rise.
Insider sells, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean that the seller thinks the stock will go down. 
<h3>Cracking Transaction Codes</h3>
When analyzing transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> tend to focus on those in the open market, detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase,while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

<h3>Understanding the Significance of Insider Transactions</h3>
Insider transactions shouldn't be used primarily to make an investing decision, however, they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
In the realm of legality, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are required to disclose their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
Notably, when a company insider makes a new purchase, it is considered an indicator of their positive expectations for the stock.
Conversely, insider sells may not necessarily signal a bearish stance on the stock and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>Important Transaction Codes</h3>
Examining transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> often concentrate on those unfolding in the open market, meticulously detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale.

What Happened: LP's recent purchase of 566,589 shares of Treehouse Foods, disclosed in a Form 4 filing with the <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0001320695/000090266425002275//Archives/edgar/data/1320695/000090266425002275/0000902664-25-002275-index.htm">U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission</a> on Monday, reflects confidence in the company's potential. The total transaction value is $12,660,607.
Treehouse Foods's shares are actively trading at $23.2, experiencing a up of 0.56% during Tuesday's morning session.
<h3>Unveiling the Story Behind Treehouse Foods</h3>
TreeHouse Foods is the largest pure-play private-label manufacturer in the US. Much larger in the past following the 2016 acquisition of Ralcorp, Conagra's former private-label business, the company has since divested several businesses to focus on high-growth categories. At present, the company produces and sells snacks (crackers, pretzels, cookies, and so on), beverages and drink mixes (such as nondairy creamer, coffee, tea, broth), and a select number of grocery products (pickles, refrigerated dough, hot cereal, cheese, and pudding). Its most important sales channel is through retail grocery stores that sell its products under their own brands, with co-manufacturing and food away from home as much smaller channels of distribution for its fare.
<h3>Treehouse Foods's Economic Impact: An Analysis</h3>
Negative Revenue Trend: Examining Treehouse Foods's financials over 3 months reveals challenges. As of 31 March, 2025, the company experienced a decline of approximately -3.5% in revenue growth, reflecting a decrease in top-line earnings. In comparison to its industry peers, the company trails behind with a growth rate lower than the average among peers in the Consumer Staples sector.
Evaluating Earnings Performance:
<ul>

Gross Margin: The company issues a cost efficiency warning with a low gross margin of 14.55%, indicating potential difficulties in maintaining profitability compared to its peers.
</li>
<li>
Earnings per Share (EPS): Treehouse Foods's EPS is below the industry average. The company faced challenges with a current EPS of -0.63. This suggests a potential decline in earnings.
</li>
</ul>
Debt Management: Treehouse Foods's debt-to-equity ratio is notably higher than the industry average. With a ratio of 1.04, the company relies more heavily on borrowed funds, indicating a higher level of financial risk.
Navigating Market Valuation:
<ul>
<li>
Price to Earnings (P/E) Ratio: Treehouse Foods's current Price to Earnings (P/E) ratio of 230.7 is higher than the industry average, indicating that the stock may be overvalued according to market sentiment.
</li>
<li>
Price to Sales (P/S) Ratio: The current P/S ratio of 0.36 is below industry norms, suggesting potential undervaluation and presenting an investment opportunity for those considering sales performance.
</li>
<li>
EV/EBITDA Analysis (Enterprise Value to its Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation &amp; Amortization): The company's EV/EBITDA ratio of 12.18 trails industry averages, indicating a potential disparity in market valuation that could be advantageous for investors.
</li>
</ul>
Market Capitalization Analysis: Positioned below industry benchmarks, the company's market capitalization faces constraints in size. This could be influenced by factors such as growth expectations or operational capacity.

<h3>Why Insider Activity Matters in Finance</h3>

This includes executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are mandated to disclose their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
Pointing towards optimism, a company insider's new purchase signals their positive anticipation for the stock to rise.
Nevertheless, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be influenced by various factors.
