Key Takeaways
SolarEdge Technologies Inc. (Nasdaq: SEDG) reported first-quarter revenue of $303.4 million, a 46% year-over-year increase that beat analyst expectations and sent its stock higher in pre-market trading.
"Our first quarter results reflect strong execution, continued innovation, and business acceleration, with 46% year-over-year revenue growth and a sixth consecutive quarter of margin expansion,” said Shuki Nir, CEO of SolarEdge.
The results were in line with analyst expectations, with the company posting a loss per share of 23 cents, a 79.8% improvement from the same period last year. The performance was underpinned by a significant increase in shipments, with power optimizer deliveries rising 39.2% and inverter shipments growing 35.4% year-over-year.
The strong results underscore growing demand for SolarEdge’s products, particularly in Europe. The company recently rolled out its new three-phase SolarEdge Nexis system in Germany, which likely contributed to the robust sales figures and helped strengthen its shipment momentum. This follows progress in its international manufacturing and export strategy, including shipments from its Austin, Texas facility to key European markets.
The broader renewable energy sector has seen robust performance, with competitor Enlight Renewable Energy Ltd. (Nasdaq: ENLT) also reporting an 81.5% year-over-year revenue increase in its own first-quarter results announced a day earlier.
Despite the strong revenue growth, SolarEdge's profitability may face headwinds from tariffs on components and imported products, which are expected to increase costs.
The strong top-line growth and margin expansion suggest SolarEdge's cost-control and international strategies are paying off. Investors will now look to the second-quarter earnings call, tentatively scheduled for early August 2026, for signs that this momentum can be maintained despite potential tariff pressures.
