Olo, Tripadvisor, Aebi Schmidt Holding And Other Big Stocks Moving Higher On Thursday

Stocks in the solar sector are trading higher Wednesday on possible continued momentum after the U.S. Senate passed the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/46204187">&#8220;One Big Beautiful Bill&#8221;.</a>
What To Know: According to Reuters, the bill would allow another year for wind and solar projects to begin construction while still qualifying for federal tax credits, giving developers extended time to leverage incentives. It also modifies the eligibility timeline tied to Inflation Reduction Act credits, requiring that projects begin construction by 2026 rather than be placed in service by that date.
Furthermore, the Senate dropped a proposed excise tax that would have applied to wind and solar developments failing to meet strict domestic content and labor standards.&nbsp;The change came after pressure from a group of bipartisan senators, including Joni Ernst, Chuck Grassley, and Lisa Murkowski, who opposed the added costs for developers.
Shares of renewable energy stocks may be trading higher as the removal of financial penalties and extension of tax credit deadlines contribute to investor optimism. Some of the stocks in the solar sector that are trading higher include Sunrun Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RUN#NASDAQ">RUN</a>), JinkoSolar Holding Company Limited (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JKS#NYSE">JKS</a>) and Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENPH#NASDAQ">ENPH</a>).

RUN Price Action: At the time of writing, Sunrun stock is trading 2.38% higher at $9.25, JinkoSolar stock is trading 10.8% higher at $23.91 and Enphase stock is trading 1.48% higher at $41.53 according to data from <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;rct=j&amp;opi=89978449&amp;url=https://www.benzinga.com/pro/&amp;ved=2ahUKEwj79_u6zZ6OAxXXElkFHbkyKbcQFnoECAwQAQ&amp;usg=AOvVaw0xIsPvjIcIIsWev01-6zR2">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Solar Stocks Are Climbing Higher Wednesday: What's Going On?

A mixed trading session took shape Tuesday on Wall Street, as investors rotated out of high-flying tech stocks <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">and into lagging sectors.</a>
By midday in New York, the Nasdaq 100 dropped 0.7% to 22,500 points, while small caps in the Russell 2000 jumped 1.9% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 1.2%, reflecting strength in blue-chip and small-cap names. The S&amp;P 500 was flat at 6,200 points.
Shares of Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) fell 4% despite a lack of major news, as investors appeared willing to take some profits following a year-to-date rally of over 70%.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Powell Keeps July Rate Cut On the Table</h1>
Speaking at the European Central Bank's symposium in Sintra, Fed Chair Jerome Powell signaled that most officials still expect to cut interest rates later this year. 
Notably, Powell rejected the speculation that a July rate cut is off the table, reaffirming the Fed's data-dependent stance. 
Meanwhile, the U.S. Senate approved President Donald Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill. 
The U.S. dollar index held steady as the greenback attempted to snap a nine-day losing streak against the euro — the longest stretch of declines since 2003. Treasury yields edged slightly higher, with the 10-year note rising three basis points to 4.26%.
On the sector front, materials outperformed, breaking above their 200-day moving average for the first time in 2025. Technology lagged. 
In industry highlights, solar stocks rallied after the Senate approved a tax-and-spending bill that scrapped a proposed excise tax on renewable energy projects. Upward momentum was seen from Sunrun Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RUN#NASDAQ">RUN</a>), up 10%; SolarEdge Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEDG#NASDAQ">SEDG</a>), up 9.7% and Enphase Energy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENPH#NASDAQ">ENPH</a>), up 4%, while the Invesco Solar ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAN#NYSE">TAN</a>) surged 5.4%.
Commodities advanced broadly, with gold gaining 1% to $3,340 per ounce and silver rising 0.5% to $36.20. Copper edged up 0.2%, reaching its highest level since late March, while oil climbed 1% to $65.71 a barrel.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) softened 1% to $106,000.

Wall Street Extends Record Highs, Dow Jones Hits 44,000: What's Driving Markets Monday?

Clean energy stocks reacted on Monday after President Donald Trump's new spending bill introduced a tax on wind and solar projects that use components made in China and accelerated the phase-out of tax credits compared to earlier versions <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46166058/elon-musk-birthday-trump-tax-bill-economy">of the legislation.</a>
The Details: Shares of major companies dropped, with NextEra Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEE#NYSE">NEE</a>)—the largest U.S. energy developer—down 4%, and solar firms like Array Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARRY#NASDAQ">ARRY</a>) Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENPH#NASDAQ">ENPH</a>) and Nextracker, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NXT#NASDAQ">NXT</a>) declining between 4% and 9%.

The Senate is preparing to vote on the bill, which would eliminate the two main tax incentives for solar and wind projects that begin operations after 2027, according to <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/30/solar-stocks-fall-as-trump-bill-taxes-components-from-china.html">CNBC</a>. 
Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, criticized the bill on X, calling it "utterly insane and destructive" and warning it would destroy American jobs and harm the country's strategic interests while favoring older industries over emerging ones.
Earlier versions of the bill were more favorable to clean energy, allowing projects started before 2027 to qualify for investment and production tax credits. The newest version of the bill also imposes a tax on solar and wind projects that begin after 2027 if they include Chinese-made components.
Despite the overall negative impact, some areas benefited: rooftop solar companies saw gains, with Sunrun, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RUN#NASDAQ">RUN</a>) shares rising over 7% and SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEDG#NASDAQ">SEDG</a>) up more than 3%. 
The bill appears to preserve tax credits for leased rooftop systems through the end of 2027, a change from previous drafts.&nbsp;
First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSLR#NASDAQ">FSLR</a>) stock also rose by more than 8%, as the legislation seems to maintain manufacturer credits for components and products. 
Why It Matters: GLJ Research analyst Gordon L. Johnson II recently downgraded Sunrun&#8217;s stock from Hold to Sell, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/downgrades/25/06/45981680/sunrun-receives-downgrade-as-analyst-warns-business-model-relies-on-inflated-system-values-for-tax-credits" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stating that the</a> Senate&#8217;s spending bill poses a potential existential threat to Sunrun and other industry players.
The analyst said that the only thing keeping Sunrun afloat has been its ability to securitize loans or power purchase agreements (PPAs), bringing in new funds to cover gaps between actual and reported O&amp;M expenses. 
Should the Senate bill pass and Sunrun and its competitors lose the ability to securitize, Johnson warned the company would quickly become unable to service its systems, with sponsor equity investors likely to exit rapidly.

Wells Fargo Maintains Overweight on Sunrun, Lowers Price Target to $8

Benzinga examined the prospects for <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">many investors' favorite stocks</a> over the last week — here's a look at some of our top stories.
Escalating tensions between Israel and Iran, and President Donald Trump's renewed attacks on Fed Chair Jerome Powell, unsettled markets this week. The Federal Reserve held rates at 4.25-4.5%, cut its 2026 rate‑cut outlook, and signaled two cuts in 2025 amid growing inflation concerns. Trump called Powell "an American disgrace," renewing calls for outsized rate cuts.
Markets fluctuated on geopolitical and central‑bank uncertainty. Energy and defense stocks lagged, while treasury yields climbed modestly as investors weighed inflation risks. Renewables fell following proposed tax‑credit rollbacks.
Looking ahead, investors are watching Fed nominations — Trump hinted at replacing Powell — as well as developments in the Middle East and next week's economic data. Any signals on Fed independence or geopolitical escalation could significantly sway sentiment.
Benzinga provides daily reports on the stocks most popular with investors. Here are a few of this past week's most bullish and bearish posts that are worth another look.

Benzinga Bulls And Bears: Circle, Sunrun, JetBlue — And Mideast Has Markets Nervous

Investor caution dominated Wall Street this week, as escalating tensions between Israel and Iran fueled fears of potential U.S. involvement. Plus, the Federal Reserve's decision to keep rates as is peeved President Donald Trump.
The Federal Reserve kept interest rates steady at 4.25%-4.5% for the fourth consecutive meeting, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/06/46004338/no-rate-cuts-yet-fed-flags-slower-growth-sticky-inflation">reaffirming its cautious stance. </a>
Overall economic uncertainty has &#8220;diminished&#8221; since March, but the Fed warns that risks remain elevated. Policymakers maintain their median projection of two rate cuts in 2025, while trimming the 2026 outlook from three cuts to two — signaling a slightly more hawkish stance.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Powell Defends The Decision</h3>
Federal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45999380/trump-powell-again-markets-breathe-iran-rejects-demands">Reserve Chair Jerome Powell</a> defended the pause. He argues that while inflation has moderated, it is still too high to justify rate reductions. He cited new inflationary pressures stemming from tariffs tied to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">trade policy changes</a>.
The Fed now forecasts 2025 headline inflation at 3%, up from 2.7% in March. Meanwhile, GDP growth was revised downward to 1.4% in 2025, from a prior estimate of 1.7%.
However, in a Friday interview with CNBC, Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller said the U.S. central bank could start cutting interest rates <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/25/06/46035535/fed-guv-says-rate-cuts-july-rate-sensitive-etfs-fed-pivot-looms">as early as July</a>.
Waller is a Trump appointee.
Trump, meanwhile, took to calling Powell names in a social media post, labeling the Fed Chair "an American disgrace," arguing that the Fed&#8217;s inaction costs the U.S. billions in higher interest payments.
Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte echoed the sentiment, calling for Powell's immediate resignation and blaming him for damaging the housing market. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/06/45814493/its-a-buyers-market-redfin-reports-there-are-34-more-sellers-in-the-market-than-buyers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Homes are sitting on the market</a> for weeks or even months while <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44218740/kevin-oleary-says-prices-arent-going-down-eggs-energy-and-housing-remain-sky-high-but-he-thinks-its-part-of-a-bigger-strategy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">prices remain sky high</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mortgage-rates" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">mortgage rates</a> remain near 6.8%.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Energy Sector</h3>
Oil prices, which spiked in the prior week, steadied near $73 per barrel. Powell dismissed parallels with the 1970s oil shocks, stating that while further price spikes are possible, they are unlikely to generate persistent inflationary effects.
Meanwhile, two major Congressional developments shaped market action. The Senate's draft tax bill proposed phasing out clean energy and solar tax credits earlier than anticipated, sparking a steep sell-off in renewables. 
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>First Solar Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSLR#NASDAQ">FSLR</a>) tumbled 13% on the week</li>

Wall Street Wavers As Geopolitical Tensions Flare, Trump Renews Attacks On Fed Chair Powell: This Week In Markets

Shares of Sunrun Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RUN#NASDAQ">RUN</a>) cratered by more than 40% Tuesday, leading a widespread downturn in the solar energy sector. Following Tuesday&#8217;s dramatic sell-off, shares are staging a modest recovery in early Wednesday trading.
What To Know: Tuesday&#8217;s sharp sell-off followed the unveiling of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45971345/sunrun-first-solar-plunge-solar-stocks-hit-hard-by-trump-tax-bill-latest">new tax bill</a> by the U.S. Senate Finance Committee that proposes a significant rollback of renewable energy incentives.
The draft legislation, spearheaded by Senate Republicans, aims to accelerate the phase-out of tax credits for solar and wind energy, incentives that were originally bolstered by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. 
The new proposal would slash these credits to 60% of their value by 2026, dropping to 20% in 2027 before being completely eliminated for projects beginning after 2028.

Adding to the industry&#8217;s woes, the bill also seeks to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45971345/sunrun-first-solar-plunge-solar-stocks-hit-hard-by-trump-tax-bill-latest">terminate</a> residential solar tax credits and consumer incentives for energy efficiency upgrades within 180 days of its enactment. This potential legislative shift sent shares of top renewable energy players tumbling in Tuesday&#8217;s trading.
In a contrasting move, the proposed bill extends tax incentives for nuclear energy until 2036, signaling a potential pivot in federal energy policy and boosting stocks in that sector. While Senate Republicans are pushing for a swift passage of the bill before the July 4th recess, the legislative timeline remains fluid.
Price Action: According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, Sunrun&#8217;s stock is surging 5% Wednesday morning to $6.07, putting pressure on bearish investors as its short interest remains significantly high at 31.41% of the float.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy RUN Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Sunrun&#8217;s case, it is in the Industrials sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.

Elon Musk has voiced concerns over the future of American energy independence in response to his brother Kimball Musk and Jesse Peltan, co-founder and CTO of HODL Ranch, about the impact of new legislation on renewable energy growth.
What Happened: Kimball Musk&#8217;s post criticized President Donald Trump&#8216;s &#8216;Big, Beautiful Bill&#8217; that he believes will halt the growth of solar and wind energy in the United States. He argued that the bill would necessitate the construction of 25 new natural gas plants per year to replace the renewable energy growth that the bill would terminate.

Sunrun (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RUN#NASDAQ">RUN</a>) shares are trading lower on Tuesday after GLJ Research analyst Gordon L. Johnson II issued a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/RUN/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">downgrade for the stock</a> from Hold to Sell.
Johnson noted the underlying equity is worthless unless SunRun can inflate the value of its solar systems to collect tax credits.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45971345/sunrun-first-solar-plunge-solar-stocks-hit-hard-by-trump-tax-bill-latest" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sunrun, First Solar Plunge—Solar Stocks Hit Hard By Trump Tax Bill: Latest</a>
SunRun&#8217;s first-quarter 2025 financial disclosure, he said, currently has over one million systems on its balance sheet.
Johnson said that assuming each of SunRun&#8217;s systems is underwater by ~$600, SunRun burns $644.56 million annually in cash when considering the current systems it has in service, which assumes the company has stopped growing.
But, if SunRun stops growing, it cannot plug the -$644.56 million annual cash burn, creating a circular problem (the more SunRun grows, the more cash it burns), the analyst noted.
One of the benefits of perpetually understating O&amp;M costs is that it allows the overstatement of the value of the systems, enabling companies like SunRun, Sunnova and SunPower to claim tax credits beyond what would otherwise be available, he noted.
However, as detailed in the language from the U.S. Senate&#8217;s tax-and-spend bill, Johnson noted that residential solar finance companies would no longer be able to sell tax credits to third parties, which is potentially an existential threat to both SunRun and SolarEdge Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEDG#NASDAQ">SEDG</a>) and, to a lesser extent, Enphase Energy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENPH#NASDAQ">ENPH</a>). Also, the analyst said the 45 times credits for solar production were left unchanged, marking an incremental positive for First Solar Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSLR#NASDAQ">FSLR</a>).
In short, he noted that removing SunRun&#8217;s ability to sell tax credits to third parties and considering the company&#8217;s never making money creates a massive problem.
According to Johnson (like Sunnova and SunPower before it), covering the ~$600 per system hole inherent in SunRun&#8217;s business will quickly overwhelm the company, barring its ability to overstate the value of its systems and then garner tax credits on these overstated values. 
The key factor allowing SunRun to stay afloat has always been its ability to securitize loans or PPAs, bringing in hundreds of millions of new dollars each year, as per the analyst. 
He said that the company&#8217;s ability to securitize allowed it to cover the gap in its real O&amp;M expenses versus those it represented to the investing public. Yet, with the ability to securitize no longer there for SunRun (should the Senate&#8217;s version of the tax-and-spend pass), the company will quickly be unable to service its systems, Johnson said. 
The analyst noted that this task would fall on the sponsor equity, draining most of its cash flow, as it is below the tax equity investors in the partnership flip capital stack. This also means the sponsor equity investors in SunRuns&#8217; asset-backed security (&#8220;ABS&#8221;) bonds will quickly &#8220;head for the hills,&#8221; he added.
RUN Price Action: RUN stock is down 39.32% at $5.85 at publication on Tuesday.
