Enphase Energy (ENPH) to Post Q3 Earnings: What's in Store?

Read MoreHide Full Article

Enphase Energy, Inc. (ENPH - Free Report) is scheduled to report its third-quarter 2023 results on Oct 26 after the closing bell.

In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 15.75%. Enphase Energy has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 16.17%, on average.

Factors to Note

The solid sell-through of microinverters, buoyed by the increasing demand trend witnessed in the solar market lately, is likely to have benefited Enphase’s sales in the third quarter. This, along with the strong shipment of its batteries and the launch of a handful of its products, particularly in European markets, must have boosted ENPH’s revenues in the soon-to-be-reported quarter.

Region-wise, Europe and Australia are likely to have continued to contribute to Enphase’s third-quarter revenues. However, macroeconomic factors in the United States are likely to have significantly continued to dampen revenues from this part of the business in the third quarter.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for ENPH’s third-quarter revenues is pegged at $565.8 million, suggesting a decline of 10.9% from the year-ago quarter.

A weak top line may have dampened its overall bottom line in the third quarter of 2023. Also, as the company continues to invest in product innovation, customer service and international growth, ENPH might have incurred higher operating expenses. This may dent its overall margin performance, thus unfavorably impacting its earnings in the third quarter of 2023.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter earnings is pegged at $1.03 per share. This indicates a decline of 17.6% from the prior-year reported figure.
