AI summary
What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting
Enphase reported Q3 revenue of $293.33 million and adjusted EPS of $0.41, missing consensus. Management cited weaker U.S. residential demand due to higher interest rates and the expiry of the Section 25D tax credit. The company’s Q4 revenue guide of $225-255 million implies further near-term weakness, likely pressuring ENPH stock until demand visibility improves.
Q3 revenue $293.33M vs consensus $304.04M; EPS $0.41 vs $0.51.
Global sell-through +1% QoQ; below 10% growth expectations.
US residential solar headwinds from higher rates and tax-credit expiry.
Q4 revenue guidance $225-255M, well below street estimates.
Ops cash flow about $0.1M; cash balance $931.8M; shares down ~10% after-hours.
