For fiscal 2025, analysts expect the solar technology company to report EPS of $2.05, a growth of nearly 103% from $1.01 in fiscal 2024.
Shares of Enphase Energy have dropped 50.3% over the past 52 weeks, significantly underperforming the broader S&P 500 Index's ($SPX) 2.7% decline and the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund's (XLK) 11.1% dip over the same period.
Despite beating Q4 2024 estimates with adjusted EPS of $0.94 and revenue of $382.7 million on Feb. 4, Enphase shares fell 1.5% the next day. Investors were also cautious about the Q1 2025 revenue guidance of $340 million—$380 million, which, while above the consensus, still indicated a sharp year-over-year decline. European revenue dropped 25% year-over-year, and IQ Battery shipments declined to 152.4 MWh from 172.9 MWh in Q3, raising concerns about international demand and storage growth.
