Enphase Energy: Disappointing, But Not As Bad As It Seems

(18min)

Summary

  • Enphase Energy saw Europe weakness and a large US customer bankruptcy result in a delay in its path to normalized revenues.
  • 3Q results were actually satisfactory in my view given the backdrop of what was happening.
  • US market fundamentals are improving, with strong growth in California and non-California states, and across products.
  • The competition rhetoric seems overdone as Enphase Energy showed relative strength in the US, along with stable market share.
  • Enphase Energy continues to be focused on its business fundamentals, working with installers, expanding to new geographies and launching new products.
  • This idea was discussed in more depth with members of my private investing community, Outperforming the Market. Learn More »

Enphase Energy's (NASDAQ:ENPH) 3Q was disappointing.

There's no other way to put it.

However, I think that the company continues to be heading in the right direction, and that, to me, is an encouraging sign.
