NEW YORK (AP) -- Shares of solar products makers rose Tuesday on improving prospects for a continuation of an investment tax credit that has encouraged investment in the industry.
Citi Investment Research analyst Timothy M. Arcuri, writing in a client note, said his "contacts indicate the House Ways and Means Committee is likely to propose a new bill that will extend most of the credits for at least several years -- longer than the one-year extension that has been discussed to date. The House is hoping to pass a bill before the Memorial Day recess."
