Why These Energy Stocks are Gaining This Week

In this article, we are going to discuss the energy stocks that are gaining the most this week.

The solar and uranium sectors were among the biggest gainers in the overall energy sector this week. The solar energy sector plunged earlier this month following the U.S. Senate’s proposed plan to phase out its much-needed tax credits by 2028, as part of President Donald Trump’s sweeping tax and spending bill. The rooftop solar sector was hit the hardest, as the legislation aimed to end the residential solar tax credit by the end of this year.

However, the latest reports indicate that Republicans on the Senate tax-writing committee are adopting a more generous stance regarding the clean energy tax credits, and may even push back their expiration dates. Moreover, according to Senator Kevin Cramer, the Senate is working on adjustments to a residential solar energy incentive that had been eliminated in previous versions of the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’.

The uranium sector also rallied following a 12.5% surge in the price of the nuclear fuel over the last two weeks. The uptick comes following an announcement by the Toronto-based asset manager Sprott that its Sprott Physical Uranium Trust would spend $200 million to buy an estimated 2.6 million pounds of physical uranium based on current spot prices.
