Read MoreHide Full Article
In the latest trading session, SolarEdge Technologies (SEDG - Free Report) closed at $148.48, marking a -1.89% move from the previous day. This change was narrower than the S&P 500's daily loss of 2.59%. Elsewhere, the Dow lost 2.72%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq lost 2.19%.
SEDG will be looking to display strength as it nears its next earnings release. The company is expected to report EPS of $0.77, down 18.09% from the prior-year quarter. Meanwhile, our latest consensus estimate is calling for revenue of $321.61 million, down 1.05% from the prior-year quarter.
Looking at the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $4.07 per share and revenue of $1.50 billion. These totals would mark changes of -8.33% and +5.52%, respectively, from last year.
Any recent changes to analyst estimates for SEDG should also be noted by investors. These recent revisions tend to reflect the evolving nature of short-term business trends. With this in mind, we can consider positive estimate revisions a sign of optimism about the company's business outlook.
Research indicates that these estimate revisions are directly correlated with near-term share price momentum. 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, which ranges from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive outside-audited track record of outperformance, with #1 stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 1988. The Zacks Consensus EPS estimate remained stagnant within the past month. SEDG is holding a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold) right now.
In terms of valuation, SEDG is currently trading at a Forward P/E ratio of 37.23. Its industry sports an average Forward P/E of 27.7, so we one might conclude that SEDG is trading at a premium comparatively.
Also, we should mention that SEDG has a PEG ratio of 1.49. The PEG ratio is similar to the widely-used P/E ratio, but this metric also takes the company's expected earnings growth rate into account. Solar stocks are, on average, holding a PEG ratio of 1.49 based on yesterday's closing prices.
The Solar industry is part of the Oils-Energy sector. This group has a Zacks Industry Rank of 72, putting it in the top 29% of all 250+ industries.
