Shares of Vestas Wind Systems tanked on the news that Donald Trump had won the 2024 presidential election. However, analysts at a number of investment banks have suggested that investors overreacted to fears of a downturn for the sector. And he's not alone — the consensus price target of all analysts covering the stock points to an upside of more than 50%. Vestas shares are also traded in the U.S. with the ticker VWDRY . In addition to the political headwinds, Vestas Wind Systems has also had to contend with the rising cost of materials and labor over the past few quarters.

European stocks are heading for a lackluster start to the trading day as global markets gear up for the U.S. presidential election Tuesday, with the vote too close to call between former President Donald Trump and current Vice President Kamala Harris. The U.K.'s FTSE 100 index is expected to open 15 points lower at 8,177, Germany's DAX down 12 points at 19,149, France's CAC down 1 point at 7,374 and Italy's FTSE MIB up 73 points at 34,358, according to data from IG. Earnings are set to come from Saudi Aramco, Adecco, Schaeffler, Deutsche Post DHL, Zalando, Hugo Boss, Bouygues, Ørsted, Vestas Wind and Fresenius Medical Care. Market attention will be focused on which party dominates Congress as a result of the U.S. election, given that a sweep by Republicans or Democrats could contribute to drastic spending changes or a big revamp of tax policy.

REUTERS/David Swanson/File photo Acquire Licensing RightsNov 24 (Reuters) - Canceled offshore wind projects, imperiled solar factories, fading demand for electric vehicles. A year after passage of the largest climate change legislation in U.S. history, meant to touch off a boom in American clean energy development, economic realities are fraying President Joe Biden’s agenda. Clean energy experts interviewed by Reuters say the mounting setbacks will make the United States' ambitious targets to decarbonize by mid-century even harder to reach. Solar energy facilities account for two thirds of those delays due in part to U.S. import restrictions. "These are the normal ups and downs of clean energy development and deployment," Reicher said.

Ina Fassbender | AFP | Getty ImagesRenewable energy firms are mostly suffering a dire earnings season as struggling supply chains, manufacturing faults and rising production costs eat into profits. Manufacturing faults, most notably at Siemens Energy 's wind turbine subsidiary Siemens Gamesa, have emerged as companies race to build turbines at a greater pace and scale. Specialist wind energy firms are also often finding themselves outbid for seabed licenses by traditional oil and gas players. As a result, most wind energy stocks are down sharply since the turn of the year. The firm's economists said the past earnings season was a "learning moment" for the industry.

We are growing but nowhere near fast enough," said Ben Blackwell, CEO of the Global Wind Energy Council. In June, Siemens Gamesa said quality problems at its two most recent onshore wind turbines would cost 1.6 billion euros ($1.7 billion) to fix. "The ratio between risk and reward is out of line in the offshore wind market in many jurisdictions. You can see this from investors not showing up," the Global Wind Energy Council's Blackwell told Reuters. "The situation in U.S. offshore wind is severe," Orsted CEO Mads Nipper said last month.

The 16 billion crown ($2.3 billion) overall hit is over half the book value of Orsted’s U.S. operations. And he’s sticking with assumptions that Orsted’s projects can generate returns of up to 300 basis points over their costs of capital. But the $7 billion hit to Orsted’s market value on Wednesday suggests investors don’t see this as a United States-specific headache. On top of this, the increase in long-dated interest rates in the United States affected both offshore as well as some onshore wind projects and will cause impairments of around 5 billion crowns, Orsted added. Orsted’s share price fell 20% to 444 Danish crowns as of 1038 GMT on Aug. 30.

STEEP GROWTH, EVERYWHEREAsia dominates the global wind power market, accounting for just over 47% of the worldwide capacity growth in 2022, according to Ember. Annual wind power generation capacity growth by regionOutside of Asia, Europe was the fastest growing region in terms of wind capacity in 2022, where installed capacity expanded by close to 20 GW, or by 8.4%. North America was the next largest wind capacity developer, with 8.84 GW, followed by Latin America, which expanded capacity by 4.36 GW. WIND GROWTH MORE BALANCED THAN SOLARWith just over half of all wind capacity growth occurring outside of Asia in 2022, global wind turbine producers and installation firms have had a larger share of international opportunities than their counterparts in the solar business. In combination with continued strong demand for wind power supply capacity and substantially cheaper supply chain flows, the expected improvements in each firms' wind segment performance should also yield improvements in future financial metrics.

The Global Wind Energy Council said earlier this year that a record 680 gigawatts (GW) of wind energy capacity is expected to be installed by 2027. But the expected revenues of those planning to build wind turbines have not risen in tandem. Many governments index the prices paid for wind energy, usually through auctions, which are often too low, analysts at Wood Mackenzie said.

Siemens Gamesa has provided wind turbines to some of the biggest power companies and oil and gas majors worldwide.
