Read MoreHide Full Article

SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. (SEDG - Free Report) is slated to report third-quarter 2022 results on Nov 7 after the closing bell.

In the last reported quarter, the company delivered a negative earnings surprise of 32.14%. SEDG has a trailing four-quarter negative earnings surprise of 12.01%, on average.

Factors to Note

Strong sales of commercial and residential inverters in the United States are anticipated to have benefitted SolarEdge’s overall top line.

Moreover, the residential and commercial segments of European countries must have aided the company’s sales growth in the third quarter, buoyed by its strong product portfolio and presence in the region.

On the product front, the strong demand for the SolarEdge residential battery globally is expected to have been reflected in the third-quarter top line. However, lower revenues from e-Mobility, mainly due to weak demand, may have dampened the sales performance partially in the soon-to-be-reported quarter.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter revenues is pegged at $826.7 million, suggesting growth of 57.1% from the year-ago quarter’s reported number.

However, a negative impact of currency movements may have affected revenues from European countries, thus negatively impacting the bottom line. Also, a lower margin in the e-Mobility business, mainly due to lower volumes, may have hurt the bottom line of the company in the third quarter of 2022.

However, revenue growth is likely to have aided the margin performance in the soon-to-be-reported quarter. This may have benefited the bottom line of the company in the third quarter of 2022.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter earnings is pegged at $1.45 per share, in line with the prior-year reported figure.
