Tuesdays Top Performing Small Cap Stocks (AGYS, FCEL, CV)

While Americans had a three-day weekend, word came out of Germany that by 2022, that nation is planning to shutter its nuclear power plants, and use other sources for electricity production.

Agilysys AGYS: This provider of computer software to the retail and hospitality sectors closed higher after announcing plans to sell its technology solutions unit for $64 million and that its CEO, Martin Ellis, was stepping down.

Central Vermont Public Service CV: Fortis agreed to buy the largest electric utility in Vermont for $470 million, in the Newfoundland-based company's first foray into the U.S. power market.

FuelCell Energy FCEL: The company received a two-year order for 70 megawatts of generating capacity from South Korea's POSCO Power, which nearly doubles its sales and service backlog and will reduce costs.
