In the last reported quarter, the company delivered a negative earnings surprise of 889.03%. SolarEdge Technologies has a negative four-quarter average earnings surprise of 220.94%.
Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to reflect in the upcoming quarterly results.
Factors to Note Ahead of SEDG’s Q4 Results
SolarEdge Technologies has been witnessing a significant slowdown in demand for its products for the past couple of quarters, with its distributors facing persistent financial challenges. Such a poor demand environment is likely to have prevailed in the fourth quarter as well, particularly in Europe, which is expected to have hurt the year-over-year sell-through of SEDG’s optimizers, inverters and batteries. This is expected to have hurt the company’s overall top-line performance.
Notably, weak market conditions in Europe, along with regulatory uncertainties and high inventory levels in the distribution channels, are likely to have adversely impacted SEDG’s revenues from the European region.
To this end, the company expects continued inventory clearing from its distribution channels, lower seasonal installations and decreased shipments to have adversely impacted its overall performance.
On the cost front, bad debt expense recorded as part of SEDG’s asset impairment analysis is likely to have put downward pressure on its fourth-quarter earnings despite its efforts to reduce operating expenses. This, along with weak sales expectations, is likely to have hurt SEDG’s earnings performance.
SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. Price and EPS Surprise
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for sales is pegged at $186.3 million, which implies a decrease of 41.1% from the year-ago number.
