In this article, we are going to discuss the energy stocks that are gaining this week.
The American nuclear energy sector has been under the spotlight recently after President Trump signed an executive order to quadruple the country’s nuclear energy capacity by 2050. The White House wants to ensure America’s energy security in the wake of a record rise in the demand of electricity, primarily due to the AI boom and its accompanying data centers. The strategic move also aims to increase the domestic mining and enrichment of nuclear fuel and reduce reliance on imports from China and Russia, given the current geopolitical landscape.
The industry received a boost again this week after it was revealed that Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta Platforms has signed a 20-year agreement to buy nuclear power from Constellation Energy, in the Facebook owner’s first such deal with a nuclear power plant. The contract is Meta’s largest power deal to date and marks the latest move by big tech to meet the soaring electricity demand from AI, with Microsoft, Google, and Amazon also turning to nuclear power as an energy source.

8. Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSEAMERICAN:UUUU)

Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSEAMERICAN:UUUU) is a leading US-based critical minerals company, focused on uranium, rare earth elements, heavy mineral sands, vanadium, and medical isotopes.

Moreover, the company filed an updated technical report on its Bullfrog project in Utah, significantly increasing previously reported in-ground uranium resources.
These developments are especially significant given a recent executive order by President Trump to reinvigorate the American nuclear sector and quadruple the country’s nuclear energy capacity.

7. Array Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:ARRY)
Share Price Gains Between May 29 – June 5: 11.78%

The bill is expected to have devastating consequences for the booming solar industry, which relies heavily on such credits. So ARRY’s recent rebound could be due to investors flocking in to purchase the stock at a lower, more attractive price.
Moreover, it must be mentioned that Array Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:ARRY) posted strong results in its Q1 2025 last month, beating forecasts in both revenue and earnings. Moreover, the company achieved the second-largest quarter of volume shipped since 2023 and maintained its guidance for full year 2025.

The company fell significantly below forecasts in both revenue and earnings, and even recently got disqualified from an auction held by the Puerto Rican government to secure temporary power generation. So the recent uptick in share price could be due to investors perceiving the stock as undervalued and picking it up at a lower, more attractive price.

1. Sunrun Inc. (NASDAQ:RUN)
Share Price Gains Between May 29 – June 5: 22.34%
Sunrun Inc. (NASDAQ:RUN) is America’s leading provider of clean energy as a subscription service, offering residential solar and energy storage with no upfront costs.
Sunrun Inc. (NASDAQ:RUN) nosedived by over 46% in May after the House of Representatives narrowly passed President Trump’s ‘one big beautiful bill’, which ends the investment and electricity production credits for clean energy facilities. The bill is especially damaging for the rooftop solar industry as the credits for rooftop solar and battery storage would end this year, proving disastrous for companies like Sunrun Inc. (NASDAQ:RUN) that lease equipment to customers.
The attention now turns to the Senate, where the renewables industry is hoping that cooler heads will prevail and the House bill won’t fly. Even some Republican senators have made it clear that they want to change the deep cuts to the Inflation Reduction Act, restoring some degree of investor confidence in players like Sunrun Inc. (NASDAQ:RUN). The rebound could also be the result of investors perceiving the stock as undervalued and picking it up at a lower, more attractive price.
While we acknowledge the potential of RUN to grow, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.
