This Week In Energy Transition - SunPower Shines Amid Policy Shifts and Market Recognition

SunPower has demonstrated robust efforts in the energy transition sector by maintaining profitability despite a significant revenue drop related to the decline of a 30% ITC tax subsidy. Through strategic cost reductions and focusing on high-margin market segments, the solar technology company reported a $2.4 million operating profit for Q2 2025. Additionally, SunPower's inclusion in the Russell 3000 and Russell Microcap Indices marks an important development, potentially strengthening its market presence and enhancing shareholder engagement. These efforts illustrate how companies are adapting to policy changes and optimizing operations within the rapidly evolving solar industry landscape.

Elsewhere in the market, Chandra Daya Investasi (IDX:CDIA) was a standout up 24.7% and closing at IDR1,515.00, hitting its 52-week high.
