Steve Eisman of "The Big Short" fame has been bullish on infrastructure stocks after studying the industry for the past two years, and here are the companies he likes the most.
Eisman, senior portfolio manager at Neuberger Berman, said he has narrowed the universe of investable stocks to 80 stocks.
The stocks Eisman passed up included residential solar companies, which already had a great run during the Covid-19 pandemic as major beneficiaries of zero interest rates.
Instead, Eisman likes solar panel companies that sell to utilities, which he said are doing well from a fundamental perspective.
CRH 1Y mountain CRH PLC Eisman shot to fame by betting against subprime mortgage loans before the 2008 financial crisis, as chronicled in Michael Lewis' "The Big Short" and the subsequent Oscar-winning movie based on the book.
