S&P 500 falls on pressure from retail stocks, weak jobless claims
Investing.com - UBS raised its price target on SolarEdge Technologies (NASDAQ:SEDG) to $30.00 from $20.00 on Tuesday, while maintaining a Neutral rating on the stock. The company’s shares have shown remarkable momentum, gaining over 24% in the past week and trading near its 52-week high of $33.30. According to InvestingPro data, the stock has demonstrated significant volatility, with a beta of 1.57.
The investment firm cited SolarEdge’s potential to increase its U.S. residential inverter market share due to the solar market’s shift toward leased systems, known as the third-party ownership (TPO) model.
UBS highlighted SolarEdge’s established relationships with TPO partners and products specifically designed to support this business model as key advantages for the company.
Despite the positive outlook for market share gains, UBS noted that the overall U.S. residential demand forecast remains negative due to the loss of homeowner solar tax credits in the OBBB, with both SolarEdge and competitor Enphase pointing to a potential 20% total U.S. solar market decline in 2026.
UBS also believes SolarEdge is well-positioned to gain share in the commercial and industrial segment, where foreign entity of concern (FEOC) restrictions could potentially eliminate competitors for customers seeking tax credits.
