On Wednesday, Enphase Energy (ENPH) traded at lows not seen in a year. ENPH stock fell by 14.9% to close at $78.47.
In the third quarter, Enphase reported a 30.9% Y/Y drop in revenue to $380.87 million. In Q4, it expects revenue in the range of $360 million to $400 million. Despite posting good cash flow, the company is suffering from ongoing weak demand. Long-term investors could wait out the short-term noise by betting on its potential. Alternative energy demand in solar will rise slowly. If that happens, Enphase could increase its revenue above $5 billion annually.
For now, avoid ENPH stock. Competition from China’s inverter suppliers is high, especially in Germany.
