Artisan Partners, in their Q3 2020 Investor Letter said that they were able to distinguish a value in RWE Aktiengesellschaft (XETRA: RWE.DE) and initiated a position in the company. RWE AG is one of the largest developers of renewable energy primarily onshore and offshore wind in the US and Europe that currently has a $25.926 billion market cap. For its latest Quarterly Revenue Growth (YOY), RWE delivered an 11.40% return and settled at $38.34 per share at the closing of January 14th.
Here is what Artisan Global Discovery Fund has to say about RWE Aktiengesellschaft in their Investor Letter:
"We started new investment campaigns in RWE. RWE is one of the largest developers of renewable energy—primarily onshore and offshore wind—in the US and Europe. We believe the company will benefit from the increasing emphasis to convert the global power grid to lower carbon-emitting sources—especially in Europe—over the next decade. RWE expects to double its renewable capacity over the next five years and has excellent visibility into this project pipeline (50% secured). Not only does an increased reliance on renewable energy sources benefit the environment, but it also shelters RWE’s earnings from commodities price swings. The company raised capital during the quarter, and we used the pullback to initiate a GardenSM position."
