PBW ETF

The Invesco WilderHill Clean Energy ETF remains in a protracted downtrend since early 2021, despite a potential Harris win boosting clean energy stocks today. PBW's valuation has become more expensive on a P/E basis, with a high expense ratio of 0.65% and poor technical indicators, including high volatility and a bearish trend. The ETF's price-to-sales ratio is low, but its price-to-earnings ratio is not attractive, and it carries elevated small-cap risk.

The PBW ETF has a diversified portfolio with holdings spread across various sectors and geographies.
