ℹ️ How are these calculated?
🎯 Investment Thesis
Enphase fell 8.5% today to $44 — now 38% below ATH ($71) and approaching deep value territory at 16x forward PE. The residential solar leader with 80%+ US microinverter market share. IQ8 + IQ Battery create a complete home energy system. If rates come down in H2 2026, residential solar demand recovers and Enphase re-rates. At $5.8B mcap, this is a micro-cap setup with category-leader fundamentals.
⚠️ Key Risk
Stock in freefall — down 8.5% today, down 38% from ATH. Residential solar market in a deep slump as high mortgage rates suppress installations. Revenue declining YoY. Competition from SolarEdge and Chinese string inverters. If rates stay high, the recovery thesis doesn't play out. At $5.8B mcap, liquidity risk in sharp selloffs.
By The Numbers
Event Impact
Residential solar — no data center relevance.
No defense or energy exposure at scale.
No quantum relevance.
US-designed microinverters. IQ8 manufacturing in US and India avoids China supply chain.
Residential solar demand is highly rate-sensitive — higher mortgage rates = fewer home solar installations. At 16x PE, less exposed than peak, but consumer financing is critical.
Microinverters for distributed solar + IQ battery storage. Grid-edge technology enables virtual power plants. Solar + storage reduces grid stress at the distribution level.
Residential solar ITC (30%) preserved in OBBBA. Battery storage credits add incremental benefit. Any expansion of residential clean energy credits is a direct tailwind.

Competitive Landscape
Company Background
Founded 2006. Invented the solar microinverter — converting DC to AC at each panel instead of a central inverter. Dominated US residential solar. Stock went from $300 ATH in 2022 to sub-$30 in the 2024 solar bust.
