LONDON - Impax Environmental Markets PLC (LSE:LON:IEM), a London-listed investment company, is facing significant industry headwinds, including rising interest rates, a strong focus on large-cap AI stocks, and a US administration favoring traditional energy policies over climate change initiatives. Despite these challenges, the company maintains that the fundamental need to address environmental issues persists.
In a recent statement, the board and managers of IEM highlighted that the global commitment to environmental solutions remains strong, with many countries and US states actively pursuing eco-friendly policies. This, according to IEM, sustains the investment case for the environmental sector. The company points out that while its portfolio companies continue to grow sales and profits, their market valuations have become more attractive, suggesting that these stocks may be undervalued.
IEM also noted a shift in investor focus from the US technology sector towards European markets, which could benefit its portfolio. The company believes that the value of its investments will eventually be recognized by the market.
