Why Is Enphase Energy (ENPH) Down 11% Today?

Enphase Energy (NASDAQ:ENPH) stock is falling on Friday following the release of its earnings report for the second quarter of 2023.

That report saw the company brings in adjusted earnings per share of $1.47. That came in above Wall Street’s estimate of $1.27 per share. It’s also an improvement over the company’s adjusted EPS of $1.07 from the same period of the year prior.

Unfortunately, Enphase Energy’s revenue of $711.12 isn’t helping ENPH stock today. That’s worse than the $725.98 million in revenue that analysts were looking for. Even if it’s better than the $530.2 million reported in the second quarter of 2022.

Another negative for ENPH stock is the company’s outlook for the third quarter of the year. This has it expecting revenue of $550 million to $600 million. To put that in perspective, Wall Street is estimating revenue of $746.45 million for the third quarter of 2023.
