Read MoreHide Full Article

Key Takeaways

  • SolarEdge's Q2 sell-through is likely to be hit by weak North American demand and distributor challenges.
  • Cost reductions and higher battery attachment rates may have boosted SEDG's Q2 revenues and earnings.
  • SEDG may generate break-even free cash flow, with tariff impact negating disciplined cash management benefits.

SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. (SEDG - Free Report) is scheduled to release its second-quarter 2025 results on Aug. 7, before market open. 

In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 5%. However, SolarEdge has a negative four-quarter average earnings surprise of 255.03%.

Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to be reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.

Factors at Play Ahead of SEDG’s Q2 Results

SolarEdge has been witnessing a significant downturn in demand for its products in the past few quarters, with its distributors encountering continuous financial challenges. Such a low demand situation is projected to have persisted in the second quarter of 2025 as well, particularly in North America, which must have hurt the year-over-year sell-through of SEDG’s optimizers, batteries and inverters. However, an improved sell-through is expected in the European market. So, the overall sell-through influence on the company’s top-line performance can be expected to have been moderate during the second quarter.

Moreover, with the solar energy market being subject to seasonal trends, SolarEdge’s revenues in the April-June quarter may have benefited from increased PV installation activity during the typically favorable spring and early summer months, supported by extended daylight hours. 

Also, increasing power prices across many regions and rising battery attachment rates must have aided the company’s overall revenue performance in the second quarter. However, newly announced and incremental import tariffs on products from China, as well as tariffs on imports from other countries, might have a negative impact on SEDG’s earnings to some extent.

However, the company’s cost-cutting efforts, solid revenue growth expectations, reductions in operating expenses and improvements in the gross margin are likely to have boosted its earnings performance.

SolarEdge can be expected to have generated break-even free cash flow in the second quarter of 2025, with disciplined cash management and inventory reductions likely to have offset tariff impacts.
