CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:ENPH opened U.S. pre-orders for its IQ9S-3P commercial microinverter (its most powerful at 548 VA), and announced a new $52M safe harbor agreement bringing the total backlog to $874M. Built on GaN technology, the IQ9S-3P supports panels up to 770 W, connects directly to three-phase 480Y/277 V grids without external transformers, achieves ~97% efficiency, and qualifies for domestic tax credits, with shipments beginning in June 2026. Shares surged ~30%, a reaction we view as disconnected from fundamentals. The IQ9S-3P announcement carried no disclosed volume, while the $52M safe harbor deal is modest and reflects pull-forward demand ahead of tax credit expiration rather than incremental growth. We acknowledge the favorable timing of the announcements, but with ENPH posting a GAAP net loss two weeks prior to a 20% revenue decline (10%-15% below company expectations), we see limited fundamental justification for the strong share movement, resulting in a rating downgrade to Sell from Hold.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We lower our target by $5 to $35, or 17.5x our 2026 EPS view. This is below ENPH's five-year average (~27x) given weak solar demand and regulatory headwinds. We lower our 2026 EPS by $0.31 to $2.00 and 2027's by $0.31 to $2.40. U.S. solar demand continues to worsen, with sell-through for Q1 and Q2 (expected) coming in approximately 15% below management's initial expectations for the year. We think regulatory frictions are playing a role as residential customers switch to the TPO model, and these headwinds will likely persist in the near term. However, we expect the TPO model to gain traction by 2027 as homeowners grow comfortable with the new offerings. Meanwhile, we expect improving battery demand in Europe, where activations are already improving across several markets and the Strait of Hormuz closure is amplifying resilience concerns. We also see longer-term upside from ENPH's new data center-focused platform (IQ SSTs), with revenues likely to materialize in 2028, despite the highly competitive landscape.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:ENPH posted Q1 sales of $283M (-21% Y/Y), near consensus ($282M). Non-GAAP EPS of $0.47 (-31% Y/Y) also slightly beat expectations ($0.45). Non-GAAP gross margin of 43.9% declined 220 bps sequentially and 500 bps Y/Y, mainly due to lower sales and elevated tariff impacts of 430 bps. U.S. demand deteriorated as expected, with sell-through falling 48% Q/Q and 18% Y/Y as the residential solar credit expired at year-end 25. ENPH disclosed $844M in TPO agreements YTD, which we view as supportive for future residential solar growth. The company also announced a new 1.25 MW data center product targeting 800-V AI racks. We think this product offers upside around 2028. However, we expect minimal near-term price movement, as the market is crowded and we view the announcement as largely expected. Q2 guidance calls for a sales midpoint of $295M (-19% Y/Y), matching consensus, with a gross margin of 45.5% exceeding the Street view (44.5%). We estimate Section 45-X credits provided about 1,000 bps of margin benefit in Q1.
