This study applies the Fama-French three-factor model to analyze the impact of market risk premium, size, and value factors on the stock returns of eight major renewable energy companies listed on the U.S. stock market. Employing linear regression analysis. The analysis indicates that while market trends heavily influence stock returns, the size and value factors' effects vary across different companies. This study contributes to understanding the financial performance of renewable energy firms and underscores the need for industry-specific risk management approaches to bolster investor confidence and facilitate sector growth. The results serve as a foundational reference for investors and policymakers interested in the renewable energy market's dynamics and its future development trajectory.
