$AY:NASDAQ - ATLANTICA YIELD PLC - Running well up to earnings

Atlantica has been having a good run up roughly 35% since the start of the year. It is at a bit of a resistance area so needs to break above and test it but the various signals and current track record look good. Could be one to watch as a bit of a defensive stock.

Nice 17% run so far and still looking good. I think any renewable energy type stocks will do well as they get added to more and more "Green" ETFs and Funds.

Continuing to run well.
