SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEDG#NASDAQ">SEDG</a>) shares are trading higher. The company announced plans to cease all activities of its energy storage division and reduce its workforce by about 500 employees. Here&#8217;s what you <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/42215870">need to know</a>.
What To Know: In a new press release Wednesday, SolarEdge stated it was shutting down its energy storage division to prioritize its solar operations. The move will result in a workforce reduction of approximately 500 employees, largely located in South Korea.
The closure is expected to result in quarterly operating expense savings of approximately $7.5 million, with full savings anticipated to be realized by the second half of 2025. In addition, the company plans to sell assets related to its storage division, including manufacturing facilities for battery cells and packs.
&#8220;The decision to close our Energy Storage division was the result of a thoughtful analysis of our portfolio of businesses and product lines, industry trends, and the competitive environment,&#8221; said interim CEO Ronen Faier.
&#8220;The measures also represent continued execution of two of our main priorities: financial stability through cost reduction, return to cash flow positivity and profitability; and focus on our core business lines of solar, PV-attached storage and energy management capabilities. I wish to thank our Energy Storage division employees for all of their efforts in building this business.&#8221;

What's Going On With SolarEdge Technologies Stock Wednesday?

SolarEdge Technologies (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEDG#NASDAQ">SEDG</a>) announced plans to shut down its Energy Storage <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/b42210837/solaredge-announces-closure-of-energy-storage-division" rel="noreferrer noopener">division to focus on core solar operations.</a>
SolarEdge plans to cut around 500 jobs in South Korea as part of the discontinuation, mainly in manufacturing roles. This represents about 12% of the company&#8217;s workforce, with most layoffs occurring in the first half of 2025.
The company anticipates recording pre-tax charges of $81 million to $99 million. These include $40 million to $49 million in asset-related and impairment charges, $30 million to $37 million for inventory write-offs and non-cancelable purchase orders, and $4 million to $5 million for severance and related benefits (excluding stock-based compensation expenses).
Workforce reductions and related charges will be recorded in the fourth quarter of 2024&nbsp;and in the first quarter of 2025, with cash payments related to these charges of $38 million to $46 million expected, mainly for severance and non-cancelable orders. Asset sales, including facilities in South Korea, aim to offset these costs. Additional expenses may arise.
Ronen Faier, Interim Chief Executive Officer of SolarEdge, commented: &#8220;The decision to close our Energy Storage division was the result of a thoughtful analysis of our portfolio of businesses and product lines, industry trends, and the competitive environment. The measures also represent continued execution of two of our main priorities: financial stability through cost reduction, return to cash flow positivity and profitability; and focus on our core business lines of solar, PV-attached storage and energy management capabilities.&#8221;

Guggenheim Upgrades SolarEdge Technologies to Neutral

SolarEdge Technologies's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEDG#NYSE">SEDG</a>) short percent of float has risen 13.92% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 19.16 million shares sold short, which is 39.52% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 4.51 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/">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 SolarEdge Technologies 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 SolarEdge Technologies'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://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, SolarEdge Technologies's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.38%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

How Is The Market Feeling About SolarEdge Technologies?

The recent U.S. presidential election results, including a Republican sweep, have raised questions about the future of renewable energy under President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s leadership.
Morgan Stanley&#8217;s report evaluates the economic impact on renewables under various policy scenarios and its effects on earnings.
The analyst has adjusted its view on the clean tech industry to &#8220;In-Line&#8221; from &#8220;Attractive.&#8221;
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41880110/solar-renewables-stocks-crash-after-trump-win-should-you-buy-now-at-cheap-valuations" rel="noreferrer noopener">Solar, Renewables Stocks Crash After Trump Win: Should You Buy Now At Cheap Valuations?</a>
While long-term demand for renewables is likely stronger than current market perceptions, near-term growth prospects have become less clear due to new uncertainties.
It&#8217;s important to remember that these new uncertainties add to the already difficult environment facing the clean energy sector, dealing with issues such as permitting and interconnection delays, funding challenges, and intense competition that have hurt profitability.
Uncertainty about the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), tariffs, and interest rates has significantly impacted clean fuel valuations.
Morgan Stanley writes that clear guidance on the IRA is essential for clean tech valuations to rebound. However, this may take time since it will likely be linked to discussions about the Tax Cuts and Job Act&nbsp;(TCJA), which is set to expire at the end of 2025.
Morgan Stanley recommends investing in stocks with high-quality and durable growth/ margins, with a clear catalyst path and/or strong balance sheet to weather any near-term volatility in growth and/or profitability.
<ul>
<li>The analyst maintains an Overweight rating on GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GEV#NYSE">GEV</a>), First Solar Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSLR#NASDAQ">FSLR</a>), and Bloom Energy Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BE#NYSE">BE</a>).</li>
</ul>
However, the analyst has downgraded three cleantech stocks from Equal-weight to Underweight, including:
<ul>
<li>SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEDG#NASDAQ">SEDG</a>): The analyst reduced the price target from $23 to $9, citing slower profitability due to decreased European demand and tough competition from cheaper Chinese manufacturers. As a result, the company is not expected to break even on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SEDG/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">EBITDA until after 2026</a>. At last check Friday, the stock was trading 13.2% lower at $11.13.</li>
<li>Maxeon Solar Technologies (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAXN#NASDAQ">MAXN</a>): Morgan Stanley anticipates a slow recovery to profitability due to increasing competition in Europe&#8217;s utility-scale solar market, which will likely keep pushing prices down. The analyst maintains the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MAXN/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target of $4</a>. Additionally, recent customer losses in the U.S. residential market could make maintaining market share and premium pricing harder. Stock is trading 10.08% lower at $10.08 at last check Friday.</li>
<li>TPI Composites, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TPIC#NASDAQ">TPIC</a>): The analyst notes an uncertainty about how quickly the U.S. wind market will recover, mainly due to challenges in securing financing and recent issues with design and inspections as the industry shifts to larger blade sizes. Morgan Stanley has cut the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TPIC/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target from $4 to $2</a>. Stock is down 8.82% at $2.16 at the last check Friday.</li>

SolarEdge Chairman Avery More Buys 156,000 Shares At Average Price Of $13.65, Increasing Beneficial Ownership To 244,478 Shares

With Donald Trump now president-elect and Republicans likely to control Congress, clean energy stocks <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/esg">are taking a beating</a>.
The Invesco Solar ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAN#NYSE">TAN</a>) dropped over 9% last week, dragging it to levels last seen in July 2020. From its January 2021 peak, the TAN ETF is now down more than 70%. 
Renewables have also been rattled. The Invesco Global Clean Energy ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PBD#NYSE">PBD</a>) slid over 5% to hit lows not seen since April 2020.
Sunnova Energy International Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOVA#NYSE">NOVA</a>)&nbsp;saw its stock plummet by 45% last week, marking its worst week since its IPO in July 2019. Similarly, SolarEdge Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEDG#NASDAQ">SEDG</a>)&nbsp;dropped 23%, reaching all-time lows.
First Solar Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSLR#NASDAQ">FSLR</a>) has fallen to a valuation of just 10 times forward earnings—its cheapest in over four years.
Is this a buying opportunity at depressed valuations, or is the worst yet to come?
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Trump's Anti-Green Policy Stance</h3>
"We expect rhetoric regarding environmental policy and the sustainability of the [Inflation Reduction Act] to be elevated, which could likely lead to continued volatility in stocks in the Green Capex supply chain, particularly pure-play solar/wind stocks," Goldman Sachs analyst Brian Singer explained in a note Friday.
Expect the incoming Trump administration to prioritize easing tailpipe emission regulations and increase resource development on federal land. 
One of the biggest questions for investors is the future of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which has provided significant tax incentives for solar, wind, and other renewable energy projects. 
While Trump and the GOP have expressed skepticism about green subsidies, Goldman Sachs analysts still indicated the IRA could survive in some form due to its broad economic impact.
Goldman Sachs' Singer highlighted that &#8220;the job creation, reshoring, and/or environmental benefits of IRA tax incentives could limit policymakers&#8217; interest in making material incentive revisions.&#8221; Despite Republican opposition, the IRA's solar and wind tax credits have been economically beneficial across various regions, creating a sticking point for politicians wary of hurting local economies.
Potential scenarios for the IRA under Trump include:
<ol>
<li>Full Repeal: This would be the most drastic outcome, likely causing significant disruption in the green energy sector.</li>
<li>Reversion to Pre-IRA Incentives: In this scenario, incentives would roll back to pre-IRA levels, which could still allow some projects to proceed, albeit at a higher cost.</li>
<li>Early Termination: A more moderate approach, setting an earlier end date for current incentives.</li>
</ol>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Green Energy vs. Energy Alternatives: A Cost Battle</h3>
Goldman Sachs&#8217; analysis suggests that even without IRA support, solar and wind power could remain cost-competitive with natural gas, though with a slight &#8220;Green Premium.&#8221; 
This means the green sector may stay resilient, but some renewable firms could see a dip in earnings as they adjust to potential shifts in federal support.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Bright Spot: Big Tech And Rising Power Demand</h3>
Global data center power demand is expected to skyrocket by 165% by 2030. 
Tech giants like Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) and Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) have expressed support for low-carbon energy solutions, a trend that may buffer the renewable sector against policy headwinds.
Goldman's utilities team projects a 2.4% CAGR in U.S. power demand through 2030, the highest growth rate since the 1990s.
Despite potential policy turbulence, there's a shift underway in the world of ESG investing. &#8220;We have observed a back-to-basics move in the direction of pragmatism,&#8221; says Goldman Sachs, noting that investors are increasingly focused on "materiality-driven links to fundamentals and performance." 
This approach could make sustainable investing less vulnerable to political shifts. Asset managers may seek clearer connections between ESG factors and financial returns.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Should You Buy the Dip in Solar Stocks?</h3>
For investors, the question is whether solar stocks are oversold or if more pain lies ahead.
Companies like First Solar are trading at four-year low valuations and almost single-digit price-to-earnings. Some traders might see an opportunity for long-term gains.
The decision boils down to one's risk tolerance and belief in the resilience of the green energy theme.
Buy now, and you might secure a piece of a sector that's critical to the future. Wait, and you may miss out on a potential recovery rally—assuming Trump's policies don't squeeze renewables into oblivion.
Yet, one thing seems assured: The path forward for this sector will likely be volatile under the new administration.

Solar, Renewables Stocks Crash After Trump Win: Should You Buy Now At Cheap Valuations?

SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEDG#NASDAQ">SEDG</a>) reported worse-than-expected third-quarter results on Wednesday and analysts are weighing in on what is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41806208/solaredges-tough-q3-revenue-miss-multi-billion-impairment-bleak-forecast-more">next for the company. </a>
Truist on SEDG: Truist analyst Jordan Levy highlighted prior commentary from Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENPH#NASDAQ">ENPH</a>) on weakness in the European market as forewarning for SolarEdge's disappointing results and guidance. 
SolarEdge expects revenue of between $180 million and $200 million for the fourth quarter, below the consensus of $308.66 million. 
Levy said market weakness is cyclical and sees SolarEdge as a "show-me story" over the coming quarters.&nbsp;
Truist reiterated its Hold rating on SolarEdge and lowered its price target from $20 to $15.&nbsp;

BMO on SEDG: BMO Capital Markets analyst Ameet Thakkar pointed to Solar Edge's "disappointing update" and "meaningfully" lowered the price target on the stock from $21 to $12 as the European market "has gone from bad to worse."&nbsp;
The BMO analyst maintained a Market Perform rating and said SolarEdge should see growth alongside solar demand.&nbsp;
However, Thakkar said the company's management leaves him cautious and he would like to see "more urgency" in the rate of change to the company's cost structure and operational expenditures.&nbsp;
"At this point, given the already over 80% ytd decline in company share price, high short interest, and SEDG belatedly taking more decisive actions to clear its product channel in Europe we await to see if any progress emerges," the BMO analyst wrote.
SEDG Price Action: According to data from Benzinga Pro, SolarEdge Technologies shares are down 9.74% at $13.43 at the time of publication Friday.&nbsp;

SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEDG#NASDAQ">SEDG</a>) shares are <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers" rel="noreferrer noopener">trading relatively flat on Thursday.</a>
Yesterday, the company reported third-quarter results, with revenues of $260.9 million, down 2% from $265.4 million in the prior quarter and down 64% from $725.3 million in the same quarter last year.
Revenues from the solar segment were $247.5 million, down 63% from $676.9 million in the same quarter last year.
Here are the analysts&#8217; takes on the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/41806208" rel="noreferrer noopener">earnings results</a>:
Piper Sandler analyst Kashy Harrison downgraded the stock to Underweight from Neutral, lowering the price forecast to $9 from $17.
The analyst sees cash flow challenges ahead due to normal DSOs/DPOs, weak sales, rising U.S. manufacturing costs, European issues, and the Tesla threat.
The analyst suggests a capital raise and major cost cuts are necessary for survival. Harrison widens the FY24 loss estimate per share to $(21.08) from $(7.20).
Truist Securities analyst Jordan Levy reiterated the Hold rating on the stock, with an unchanged price forecast of $20.
According to the analyst, the topline miss is primarily due to continued weakness in Europe, where MW volumes fell over 30%, while North American volumes rose by a similar percentage.
Further, topline and the gross margin guidance for the fourth quarter fell short of Street estimates, while the Opex guidance was slightly below the Street estimates.

Roth MKM analyst Philip Shen reiterated the Neutral rating on the stock, loweing the price forecast to $12 from $20.
The largest third-quarter writedowns were for excess and obsolete inventory, as the company no longer expects to sell it due to reduced demand in the EU, Shen notes.
The analyst writes that the company aims to return to profitability by focusing on financial stability, regaining market share, and refocusing on core businesses.
It is also reducing costs, streamlining operations in profitable markets, and investing in technology for future growth, Shen notes.
KeyBanc Capital Markets analyst Sophie Karp noted that the company is banking on strong demand for U.S.-made products, alongside new offerings and software, to fuel growth in the next industry cycle.
However, the ongoing demand slump, coupled with recent election developments, is likely to dampen investor interest for now, the analyst writes. The analyst rates SEDG shares Sector Weight.
Price Action: SEDG shares are trading lower by 1.41% to $14.47 at last check Thursday.
