Enphase Energy Inc (NASDAQ:ENPH) shares fell sharply on Friday after it reported second-quarter revenue that was below consensus expectations and received a raft of broker downgrades.
The global energy technology company — which claims to be the world’s leading supplier of microinverter-based solar and battery systems — said in a statement that revenue from the US came under pressure, declining by 12%, due to macroeconomic conditions. However, revenue in Europe increased by a quarter.
Total revenue for the quarter amounted to $711 million, up 34% from a year earlier but below the $722 consensus estimate of analysts, according to Refinitiv.
Basic earnings per share doubled to $1.09.
It forecast third-quarter revenue of $550 million to $600 million compared with analysts’ estimates of $746 million.
Meanwhile, CNBC reported that banks including Deutsche Bank, Wells Fargo and Roth MKM downgraded the stock on Friday.
The company’s shares were down 10% at $152.15 in early afternoon trade.
