Peak Asset Management executive director Niv Dagan recommends the ReNu Energy share price as a buy. Commenting on The Bull, Dagan said:

The company invests in renewable and clean energy technologies. Also, it identifies and develops hydrogen projects. RNE acquired Countrywide Hydrogen in February 2022.

The company continues to progress its hydrogen projects.
