Investing.com - BofA Securities lowered its price target on Enphase Energy (NASDAQ:ENPH) to $30 from $31 while maintaining an Underperform rating following the company’s second-quarter results. The stock, currently trading at $42.50 with a market cap of $5.58 billion, has seen its value decline by 59% over the past year, according to InvestingPro data.
The firm cited structural weakness in the U.S. residential solar market rather than a cyclical delay, noting that expectations for a significant uptick from the 25D tax credit have been tempered in the third quarter outlook. This market weakness is reflected in Enphase’s revenue decline of 22% in the last twelve months.
BofA highlighted timing constraints for the tax credit, which requires full installation and payment by year-end, making a substantial fourth-quarter improvement unlikely.
The analysis pointed to additional headwinds including third-party ownership challenges due to delayed Treasury guidance on 48E safe harbor rules, ongoing installer bankruptcies, tighter lending conditions, and poor economics for cash and loan options.
BofA noted that Enphase has reduced its 2026 total addressable market projection by 20%, reflecting what the firm describes as "a shrinking market with few near-term catalysts." InvestingPro analysis suggests the stock is currently overvalued, with a FAIR overall financial health score.
