Friday, May 18, 2012, 11:19 AM Satcon Technology (SATC -1.2%) dips after Cantor Fitzgerald cut the shares to Hold earlier today. The firm cites uncertainty following the U.S. Department of Commerce's decision to impose an immediate 31% duty on Chinese-manufactured c-Si cells, modules, and panels, noting “This takes the nascent U.S. solar industry evolution out of the hands of entrepreneurs and technologists and into the hands of politicians, bureaucrats, and lawyers." Comment! [On the Move, Tech]
Wednesday, May 9, 2012, 5:09 PM SatCon Technology (SATC): Q1 EPS of -$0.11 misses by $0.01. Revenue of $24.3M (-60.8% Y/Y) in-line. (PR) Comment! [Earnings]
Friday, March 30, 2012, 11:42 AM After pricing its 9M share IPO at $6, Enphase Energy (ENPH) opened at $7.40 and is now trading at $7.32, up 22%. That gives gives the maker of solar microinverters a valuation of $273M. Enphase generated 2011 revenue of $149.5M (+143% Y/Y), but also a net loss of $32.3M. Its solutions convert power more efficiently than traditional solar inverters from the likes of SATC and PWER, but are also costlier. (S-1) 4 Comments [Tech, Energy, On the Move]
Thursday, March 1, 2012, 7:31 PM More Satcon Technology (SATC): Q4 misses on both counts after posting a 50% decline in Y/Y revenue. Gross margin dropped significantly due to $27M in inventory-related charges. The company also drastically cuts its Q1 forecast, now expecting revenues of $22M - $28M. The Street view is fpr revenue of $38M. Shares -6% AH. Comment! [Tech, Earnings, On the Move]
Thursday, March 1, 2012, 4:50 PM SatCon Technology (SATC): Q4 EPS of -$0.40 misses by $0.08. Revenue of $36M (-50.4% Y/Y) misses by $1.3M. Shares -2% AH. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Tech, On the Move]
Wednesday, January 4, 2012, 8:19 AM Satcon Technology (SATC) announces a major restructuring plan including closing a Canadian manufacturing facility, slashing 140 jobs, and refocusing its product development. The solar industry supplier plans to take a Q4 restructuring charge of $2M-$3M and an inventory writeoff of $20M-$26M. Comment! [Energy]
Wednesday, December 7, 2011, 12:03 PM Much like the markets for other solar products (I, II, III), the one for solar inverters, which convert module energy into usable electricity, remains soft. IMS Research estimates the global inverter market (measured in euros) fell 20% Y/Y in Q3, thanks to weak pricing and soft German demand. However, growth is expected be near breakeven in Q4. Major inverter vendors include PWER, SATC, and AEIS. Comment! [Energy, Tech]
Wednesday, November 9, 2011, 3:13 PM Solar supplier Satcon (SATC -4.3%) dips on a ThinkEquity downgrade to Sell. The firm cites concern over the company's deteriorating gross margins and potential cash flow issues. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
Thursday, October 13, 2011, 8:56 AM While margins for solar module vendors have been decimated, those for solar inverter firms, whose products convert module output into usable electricity, have held up relatively better. Inverter vendor Power-One (PWER) rallied yesterday after its guidance cut proved smaller than investors feared, though rival Satcon (SATC) has been crushed by earnings disappointments. Comment! [Energy, Tech, Quick Ideas]
Wednesday, October 5, 2011, 10:12 AM Satcon Technology (SATC) posts a 10.8% gain after the firm gets selected by Q-Cells to supply an additional 40MW of its solar power conversion systems for an Ontario project. Comment! [On the Move, Energy]
Wednesday, August 10, 2011, 2:38 PM Solar module component maker SatCon (SATC -23.8%) continues its year-long swoon after reporting Q2 revenue of $45.5M (+65% Y/Y) and EPS of -$0.18, missing consensus by $0.4M and $0.06. Gross margin fell to 8% from 20.8% in Q2 2010. The company expects Q3 revenue of $45M-$52M, well below a $62M consensus. (previously) (transcript) Comment! [Energy, Tech, Earnings, On the Move]
Thursday, July 7, 2011, 2:10 PM Solar stocks are weak after Jefferies lowers its outlook for the sector due to increasing wafer costs and a weak pricing environment for solar panels. The firm downgrades JA Solar (JASO -4.4%), Hanwha SolarOne (HSOL -4%), Canadian Solar (CSIQ -3.3%) MEMC Electronic Materials (WFR +0.5%), and SatCon (SATC +0.1%). 1 Comment [Tech, On the Move]
Tuesday, July 5, 2011, 9:18 AM SatCon Technology (SATC) warns Q2 sales will come in at $45-47M vs. previous guidance of $50-60M. Gross margin outlook cut to 7-11% from a previous 17-20%. The revision reflects "the continued impact of changes in government incentives in the company's higher margin markets," and delays on a few projects. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Tech]
