From copper to cybersecurity, Goldman picks less obvious stocks to play the clean energy trend
Goldman Sachs has identified four "critical" sectors in the clean energy market, beyond the usual suspects. They are: copper or aluminum, electricity transmission, semiconductors and cybersecurity.

That's a metric used by some investors to assess a company based on cash flow. The bank's picks include: Copper and aluminum: Major U.S. copper producer Freeport-McMoRan , aluminum manufacturer Constellium . Electricity transmission: U.S. energy infrastructure firm Sempra Energy , Public Service Enterprise Group . Semiconductors: Advanced Micro Devices , TSMC , ASML . Cybersecurity: Datadog , Sangfor.
