HA Sustainable Infrastructure Capital (HASI) has quietly reshaped its identity, leaning harder into financing climate solutions as the stock has climbed about 21% this year and roughly 30% over the past 3 years.

That shift in focus seems to be resonating, with a roughly 16% 3 month share price return and a 1 year total shareholder return of about 21% suggesting momentum is rebuilding after a tougher few years.
If sustainable infrastructure is on your radar, this could also be a good moment to explore fast growing stocks with high insider ownership as potential future winners.
Yet with analysts still seeing upside and the shares trading at a modest discount to estimated intrinsic value, the real question is whether HASI remains an underappreciated climate finance play or if markets already reflect its next leg of growth.
HASI changes hands at $32.76, and its 13.5x price to earnings ratio points to shares that look modestly undervalued against peers and its own fair ratio.
The price to earnings multiple compares what investors pay today to the company’s current earnings power. This is a key lens for diversified financials where profit generation and capital allocation drive long term value.
For HASI, a 13.5x multiple looks restrained when set against a peer average of 28.7x and the US Diversified Financial industry at 13.6x. This suggests the market is not aggressively pricing in its faster forecast revenue growth or its strong recent profit trajectory.
Against an estimated fair price to earnings ratio of 14.2x, the current 13.5x looks conservative rather than stretched. This hints at some room for the valuation to move closer to that fair level if execution remains solid.
