Read MoreHide Full Article

Enphase Energy, Inc. (ENPH - Free Report) is scheduled to report its second-quarter 2023 results on Jul 27 after the closing bell.

In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 13.22%. Enphase Energy has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 19.47%, on average.

Factors to Note

Due to solid solar demand in the recent past, we expect Enphase to witness impressive microinverter sales in the second quarter. This may be further supported by its manufacturing capacity expansion in Romania started in the first quarter of 2023. This, along with the strong shipment of its batteries, must have boosted ENPH’s revenues in the soon-to-be-reported quarter.

Region-wise, with the residential solar and storage market growing rapidly in Europe, the region is likely to be a major contributor to Enphase’s second-quarter revenues. Moreover, second-quarter results are likely to reflect solid revenue contributions from the United States.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for ENPH’s second-quarter revenues is pegged at $726.9 million, suggesting growth of 37.1% from the year-ago quarter.

The company started the shipment of Enphase-branded electric vehicle (EV) chargers from Flex Mexico in the second quarter, which is expected to boost its capacity and reduce costs. This, along with a strong top line across its product portfolio, may have contributed to its overall bottom line in the second quarter of 2023.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter earnings is pegged at $1.27 per share. This indicates an improvement of 18.7% from the prior-year reported figure.
