The solar technology company's shares have seen a decrease of 4.56% over the last month, not keeping up with the Oils-Energy sector's loss of 0.05% and the S&P 500's gain of 1.65%.
The investment community will be paying close attention to the earnings performance of Enphase Energy in its upcoming release. The company is expected to report EPS of $0.77, down 24.51% from the prior-year quarter. At the same time, our most recent consensus estimate is projecting a revenue of $394.17 million, reflecting a 28.47% fall from the equivalent quarter last year.
For the entire fiscal year, the Zacks Consensus Estimates are projecting earnings of $2.54 per share and a revenue of $1.41 billion, representing changes of -42.4% and -38.63%, respectively, from the prior year.
Any recent changes to analyst estimates for Enphase Energy should also be noted by investors. These recent revisions tend to reflect the evolving nature of short-term business trends. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the company's business outlook.
Our research demonstrates that these adjustments in estimates directly associate with imminent stock price performance. To benefit from this, we have developed the Zacks Rank, a proprietary model which takes these estimate changes into account and provides an actionable rating system.
The Zacks Rank system, ranging from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), possesses a remarkable history of outdoing, externally audited, with #1 stocks returning an average annual gain of +25% since 1988. Over the past month, the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate has moved 3.57% lower. Enphase Energy is holding a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold) right now.
