Energy is a fascinating industry right now from an investment standpoint. It's one of the few sectors where you can find lots of great companies selling at low valuations. Between the previous few years of low oil prices and the wild ups and downs of the alternative energy markets, Wall Street has been giving energy a wide berth. For investors who have a longer-term investment horizon, though, there are some deeply discounted stocks in the energy world.
Two very cheap stocks that stand out and are worth considering are fracking sand supplier U.S. Silica Holdings (NYSE:SLCA) and solar and wind asset operator TerraForm Power (NASDAQ:TERP). Here's why these stocks are trading at low valuations, and why you should consider buying them today.

Better business model trading at a deep discountA few years ago, when most investors were just waking up to the investment opportunities in shale, fracking sand was a scorching hot sector, and investors bid up frack sand stocks to outrageous multiples. As demand for sand plummeted, though, most of these sand suppliers were hemorrhaging money and a few were teetering on bankruptcy. Even though U.S. Silica had a respectable balance sheet and revenue streams outside oil and gas, the company was posting losses from weak sand prices, and the stock was consequentially hammered.

Will the last Sirius XM Holdings (NASDAQ:SIRI) short leaving the room please turn off the lights? The number of shares betting on a decline in the satellite radio provider's stock price has fallen to its lowest level in more than a year, and it's easy to wonder if the security that courted naysayers by the truckload when it was a speculative penny stock will ever be a hotbed for pessimism again.

Tim Hanson: If you go to Canada, one thing that's ubiquitous in Canada, Tim Hortons. We went there for breakfast and my kids just could not get enough of the biscuits and the Timbits, which are the equivalent of Munchkins. My son has his Robinhood account now, so he's always on the lookout for stocks to buy. He said, "Can I buy Tim Horton's stock?" And I said, "Yes you can." And actually, I told him a story. A long time ago, when I was in college, I actually bought Wendy's (NASDAQ:WEN) stock on the thesis that Baja Fresh, which they owned at the time, was the next hot concept, and way better than Chipotle. Now, you fast forward a couple of years, Baja Fresh basically was worthless to Wendy's. Chipotle had gone on to be the winner in the burrito space. Obviously since reverted to the mean. But, made a lot of money on Wendy's because of Tim Horton's. They also own Tim Hortons, and Tim Hortons is growing crazy for them, they're growing all across Canada and the U.S.

For investors looking to put new money to work in a defense prime today, I'd recommend General Dynamics (NYSE:GD) over either Raytheon or Northrop Grumman. General Dynamics currently trades at a 20% discount to its rivals on a price-to-earnings basis and at a 13% discount on a price-to-sales basis due to continued weakness in its business jet division. There's more risk to General Dynamics, but there is also more potential upside should it get its aerospace business on track and close that valuation gap.

Sciple: That will be our first look at how any of these companies was affected by the shutdown. We had a lot of defense contractors reporting earnings in this past week. Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT), General Dynamics (NYSE:GD), Raytheon (NYSE:RTN), Northrop (NYSE:NOC). Of course, those numbers are not embracing a significant chunk of the government shutdown. However, they did give relatively muted guidance looking out into next year. Can you talk about that a little bit?
