<h3>Enphase Energy P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Enphase Energy has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 73.96 of the Semiconductors &amp; Semiconductor Equipment industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1752696031_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Wall Street is poised to conclude the week on a cautious note, with equities easing on Friday after President Donald Trump signaled a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">more aggressive trade stance. </a>
A formal letter outlining tariff intentions is expected to be delivered to EU leaders in the coming hours, following Trump&#8217;s announcement earlier this week of a 35% tariff on Canadian imports starting Aug. 1 and blanket duties of 15% to 20% on most other trading partners.
The S&amp;P 500 dipped 0.2% and the Nasdaq Composite was flat, after both notched fresh record highs on Thursday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell nearly 300 points, dragged down by renewed fears of a global trade escalation and weak sentiment in industrials and financials. Small caps, which had outperformed in recent sessions, dropped over 1%. 
Treasury markets reflected the increased anxiety. The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note climbed nearly 4 basis points to 4.39%, as investors braced for potential inflationary effects from tariffs.
Commodities took center stage, with gold jumping over 1% to $3,355 per ounce, supported by safe-haven flows amid deepening trade frictions. Silver extended its bullish run, surging past $38 per ounce, its highest level in nearly 14 years.
Crude oil prices also regained momentum, with West Texas Intermediate (WTI) futures rising above $68 per barrel, recovering from a 2.5% loss in the prior session.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) pulled back modestly after hitting a new all-time high of $118,839 overnight. The largest cryptocurrency was last trading near $117,500 as broader risk sentiment weakened.

Tariff Jitters Hit Stocks, Silver Jumps To 14-Year Highs: What's Moving Markets Friday?

Enphase Energy's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENPH#NYSE">ENPH</a>) short percent of float has risen 10.06% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 26.47 million shares sold short, which is 27.67% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.95 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Enphase Energy has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Enphase Energy's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Enphase Energy's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 8.34%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

What Does the Market Think About Enphase Energy?

Clean energy investors weren't exactly celebrating Christmas in July when President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46263434/trump-signs-sweeping-tax-and-spending-bill-that-cbo-says-will-add-3-3-trillion-to-us-deficit-cut-health-coverage-for-11-8-million-americans">signed</a> the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) into law over the 4th of July holiday weekend.
The bill's primary focus was the extension of his 2017 tax cuts, but it also rolled back several clean energy initiatives that former President Joe Biden had included in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2021.
While the official Senate version is more lenient to clean energy than the original House of Representatives&#8217; version, the OBBBA strikes down a number of tax credits and incentives for renewable energy in both residential and commercial spaces.
Some clean energy sources fared better than others. Geothermal, hydroelectric and nuclear energy companies will feel less of a sting, but solar and wind stocks are looking at some serious headwinds coming in 2026.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Volatility Watch: Matt Maley's Strategy for Macro-Driven Moves</h2>

With macro pressure building and the market stretched near all-time highs, Matt will show how he's trading the next wave of volatility using leveraged ETFs, low-cost options, and real-time macro signals.

Some of the key provisions of the new law affecting the renewables sector include:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Elimination of the 30% residential solar tax credit by the end of 2025 (originally slated to end in 2034).</li>
<li>The phaseout of tax credits for commercial solar and wind projects started after July 4, 2026, for those not placed into service by December 31, 2027.</li>
<li>Elimination of standalone battery backup tax credits after December 31, 2025.</li>
<li>Termination of accelerated depreciation of solar property for anything built after 2024.</li>
<li>Restrictions on receiving "material assistance" from Foreign Entities of Concern (FEOC), i.e., China, where a large percentage of solar components are produced.</li>
</ul>
The renewable energy industry is expected to face reduced demand, higher prices, job losses and increased regulatory burdens as a result of these new provisions. Today, we'll look at three stocks that investors may want to avoid as U.S. energy policy turns against wind and solar.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Sunrun Inc.</h2>
Sunrun (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RUN#NASDAQ">RUN</a>) is facing headwinds from multiple angles as its stock continues to plunge &#8211; a trend that began last August. The company manufactures and installs solar systems for homeowners, with approximately 85% of its revenue derived from the residential sector. Sunrun's business model is heavily reliant on these tax credits, and now that the phaseout comes in five months instead of nine years, the company will likely face revenue drops and layoffs. Sunrun has a market cap of $2.4 billion and generates approximately $2 billion in annual sales.
However, despite a few profitable quarters, it has yet to post positive net income for a full year and has lost nearly $3 billion in the last 12 months alone. It's also one of the more heavily-shorted stocks on Wall Street, with more than 31% of the float sold short as of this writing. And, despite the recent upgrade from ‘Hold' to ‘Underperform' from Jeffries, the fundamental and technical outlook for Sunrun looks bleak.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXe5gHOg5hvYTQBXlMl4kf9zBusBKextLRn0hBjAyVLasuGdAeixO-UguXjuGf6pa1I7wWkmaT7hp-iFfr6svrhPtQU5Qtcjzu1RLl9CR-LGCwzqw2VZxtv6f0DdvpeQyEyFY7hG9A?key=S9hK9W7ctwEd6DOBWo9D8Q" alt="" /></figure>
Any hope Sunrun shares had of breaking out of their long-term downtrend likely fizzled with the passage of Trump&#8217;s bill. The stock has been fading for nearly 12 months now, with the downtrend line tested but yet to be broken. Two previous attempts to break the downward momentum resulted in quick reversals back to the lows, and now that OBBBA is law and projections indicate continued unprofitability, this cycle of sellers&#8217; momentum is likely to persist.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">SolarEdge Technologies Inc.&nbsp;</h2>
SolarEdge (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEDG#NASDAQ">SEDG</a>) is a small-cap producer of inverters and power optimizer systems used in photovoltaic solar projects. The Israeli-based firm has a market capitalization of under $1.6 billion and generates annual sales of less than $900 million, with a net loss of approximately $1.8 billion over the last 12 months. While the company develops systems for both residential and utility-scale projects, regulatory headwinds and a lack of profits could doom the stock in a similar fashion to Sunrun.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcgKKeqTVroVdw_cQ4EoaDdjDGIcI1tWhE1xoiqILQ3MhaYhww3KgPIkHhsQHyJDwmy5GH-V_BQ8FwjCLlYAyvzdcZ6ZRL6lwvo_GG0LrgDoUiIZ_Kj84IYYKB0pAbZuVZqad04Yw?key=S9hK9W7ctwEd6DOBWo9D8Q" alt="" /></figure>
SolarEdge narrowed its losses in Q1 2025, with EPS figures coming in at -$1.14 per share (beating -$1.26 consensus), and the $219 million in revenue represented 7.4% year-over-year (YoY) growth. However, analysts remain unimpressed: the stock has only one Buy rating from the 26 analysts with coverage, along with 15 Hold and 10 Sell ratings. The average price target is just $18.56, which implies a downside of more than 25% from the current market price.
The daily stock chart also provides some hints about the next price move, as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has triggered an Overbought signal once again. In the previous two instances, the RSI hitting 70 resulted in the stock gapping down hard, and there's plenty of evidence to suggest this scenario will play out once again.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Enphase Energy Inc.&nbsp;</h2>
Enphase Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENPH#NYSE">ENPH</a>) is the largest company on our list, with a market capitalization of $5.6 billion and annual sales of $1.33 billion. It&#8217;s also the only profitable company listed here, with a net income of $102 million over the last 12 months and profit margins exceeding 10%. However, despite its size, profitability and an international client list, the company remains deeply tied to the U.S. residential solar and battery storage markets &#8211; two areas where the OBBBA seeks to reduce government subsidies.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdELz9gE2EXyYiEZGeymDFN0WnveyUgmDHw23UmZeia603226Ez0V_SprB28QvnEze0-992C-04gGjHaAOcvoOAuRT7-R5F_0iribx8j6cIYKEATaLa7qpT1nOm2glm7eiELYSw6w?key=S9hK9W7ctwEd6DOBWo9D8Q" alt="" /></figure>
Enphase Energy aims to be a one-stop shop for solar energy generation and storage, while also offering software solutions for energy management and communication. While this business model has proven profitable, the elimination of the residential solar credit and battery storage credit could reduce the company's margins and hinder future profit growth.
The stock had been trending downward since the November election, when the 50-day moving average crossed below the 200-day moving average. Now, the 50-day MA appears to be functioning as a strong resistance level, and ENPH shares have failed to punch through this level for the entirety of 2025. The RSI also shows a stock with fading momentum as the indicator has been stuck in a tight range since last December, suggesting limited interest from both investors and institutions. The stock also trades with more than 25% of the float sold short, which isn't high enough to induce a short squeeze, but substantial enough to indicate the sour sentiment in the solar energy sector.

Why AES Shares Are Trading Higher By Over 10%; Here Are 20 Stocks Moving Premarket

U.S. stocks were little changed on Tuesday as investors stayed cautious following a series of letters from the White House to major trading partners, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">outlining sweeping new tariffs. </a>
The real market action unfolded in commodities, with copper surging 10% after President Donald Trump announced a 50% tariff on copper imports starting today.
The industrial metal jumped to $5.52 per pound, hitting a new all-time high and marking its biggest one-day gain since October 2008.
During a Cabinet meeting, Trump stated: "Some letters are at a 60%, 70% rate.&#8221; He said to be announcing new tariff measures on pharmaceuticals — possibly a 200% tariff.
He added that trade relations with China have been "very fair" recently, noting a strong working relationship.
While Trump reiterated openness to trade negotiations, he emphasized that the U.S. will not extend the August deadline for reciprocal tariffs to take effect.
Commenting on the European Union, Trump said: "The EU has been speaking to us. President von der Leyen has been very nice lately, but they've treated us badly until recently. We're probably two days away from sending the EU letter. A letter is a deal."
At 1:40 p.m. ET, the S&amp;P 500 was flat at 6,220, the Nasdaq 100 gained 0.1% to 22,710, while small caps led the way with the Russell 2000 rising 0.9%.
Energy stocks outperformed as oil prices climbed 1.4% for a second straight session, topping $68 — a two-week high.
Treasury yields also moved higher, with the 10-year rising five basis points to 4.43% and the 30-year yield climbing to 4.96%.
The U.S. dollar remained steady, while gold fell 0.8% to $3,308 per ounce. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) traded around $109,125.

Copper Rallies To Record Highs After Trump's 50% Tariff Bombshell: What's Moving Markets Tuesday?

TD Cowen analyst Jeffrey Osborne downgrades Enphase Energy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENPH#NASDAQ">ENPH</a>) from Buy to Hold and lowers the price target from $58 to $45.

TD Cowen Downgrades Enphase Energy to Hold, Lowers Price Target to $45

As President Donald Trump&#8216;s &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46274724/donald-trumps-big-beautiful-bill-could-make-these-electric-vehicles-much-more-expensive-for-you">One Big Beautiful Bill</a>&#8221; reshapes the landscape of the renewable energy sector, a KeyBanc Capital Markets analyst is reacting with cautious optimism, noting that the impact on key players may be less severe than initially feared.
The Rating Changes: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5891df6343eaaa0001d69c78/sophie-karp">Analyst Sophie Karp</a> upgraded the ratings for Sunrun Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RUN#NASDAQ">RUN</a>) and SolarEdge Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEDG#NASDAQ">SEDG</a>) from Underweight to Sector Weight.
The Thesis: The &#8220;One Big Beautiful Bill&#8221; has made changes to several provisions that the energy sector relied on, Karp said in the upgrade note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
Residential leasing has not been changed in the new bill, owning to which Sunrun "lives to see another day," the analyst stated. While investment tax credits (ITC), which are widely used for renewable energy projects, will be phased out by 2027, this exclusion does not apply to solar, she added.
"Given the dissipation of the immediate regulatory risk and ongoing market consolidation following the bankruptcy of another national competitor, we believe RUN should be able to have a stable tailwind in the near term," Karp wrote.
Residential solar tax credits for individuals are set to be phased out by the end of 2025, the analyst said. While this will change SolarEdge Technologies' business model, the company will be less challenged than rival Enphase Energy Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENPH#NASDAQ">ENPH</a>), given the latter's "higher priced premium product and lower international sales mix," she further wrote.
RUN, SEDG Price Action: Shares of Sunrun had declined by 11.7% to $9.80 and SolarEdge Technologies by 3.9% to $25.40 at the time of publication on Tuesday.

Solar Stocks Get A Reprieve As Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' Lands Softer Than Feared

Solar stocks dropped on Tuesday after President Donald Trump signed an executive order to fast-track the end of clean-energy tax <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46173316/trumps-big-bill-rocks-clean-energy-stocks-except-rooftop-solar">credits late Monday.&nbsp;</a>
The Details: President Trump issued an executive order that enforces a much faster phaseout of clean-electricity tax credits for solar and wind projects.&nbsp;
The order eliminates the credits within 45 days after the &#8220;Big Beautiful Bill&#8221; goes into effect, likely before the end of 2025.&nbsp;

Trump's executive order states <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/07/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-ends-market-distorting-subsidies-for-unreliable-foreign-controlled-energy-sources/">his opposition</a> to providing subsidies for what he calls "expensive and unreliable" energy sources like solar and wind.&nbsp;
The order is designed to eliminate any remaining loopholes that could have permitted the continued use of tax credits for these technologies.
&#8220;The proliferation of these projects displaces affordable, reliable, dispatchable domestic energy sources, compromises our electric grid, and denigrates the beauty of our Nation&#8217;s natural landscape,&#8221; Trump said.
Why It Matters: Solar stocks dropped Tuesday morning with First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSLR#NASDAQ">FSLR</a>) down 3.89%, Sunrun, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RUN#NASDAQ">RUN</a>) down more than 10% and SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEDG#NASDAQ">SEDG</a>) shares down 4.3%.&nbsp;
Expert Ideas: TD Cowen cut its rating on Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENPH#NASDAQ">ENPH</a>) stock to Hold from Buy and slashed its price target from $58 to $45 on Tuesday.&nbsp;
&#8220;The elimination of [the tax credit] at the end of 2025 will negatively impact U.S. customer-owned resi solar demand, which is currently challenged due to elevated interest rates,&#8221; TD Cowen analyst Jeff Osborne said, per MarketWatch.&nbsp;&nbsp;
