Enphase Soars Over 40% After Earnings Beat and Guidance Top Forecasts

The outlook still points to a year-over-year revenue decline, tempering hopes for a quick rebound.

Overview

  • Shares jumped about 38%–42% after the Q4 print and outlook topped expectations.
  • Q4 revenue was roughly $343 million with adjusted EPS of $0.71, though sales and profit fell year over year as 'safe harbor' revenue dropped.
  • Management forecast Q1 revenue of $270 million to $300 million, above consensus yet implying a 16%–24% decline from a year earlier.
  • Executives said much of Q4 demand reflected customers accelerating installations ahead of a tax-credit expiration.
  • RBC and Wells Fargo upgraded the stock to outperform and several firms raised price targets, including TD Cowen to $40.
