Weekly Highlight
Ameresco Inc. (Ameresco) is a US based company which provides energy efficiency solutions. The US energy services market is expected to expand further, supported by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) for energy efficiency programs, support from the Department of Energy (DOE), state and federal legislators and greater demand from companies to reduce their energy efficiency or address environmental issues. Furthermore, renewable energy is also expected to experience robust growth over the near term driven by the greater focus on cleaner renewable energy sources.Consequently, we expect Ameresco to benefit from these fundamental drivers and to report strong revenue growth. However, we believe this strong end-market demand has been factored into the offer price range.
