Indeed, Wells Fargo analyst Praneeth Satish downgraded the stock from Overweight to Equal Weight and slashed his price target from $190 to $82, citing significant uncertainties.
Furthermore, Praneeth said he is unconvinced about SolarEdge’s quarterly demand guidance of $600-$700 million based on Q3 averages, given that demand in September was lower than in Q3. The analyst added that if demand remains the same relative to September, then the guidance would be unachievable.
Also, the analyst raised concerns about the unexpected monthly sales drop in Europe during September, which is usually a growth period for the company. The SolarEdge downgrade at Wells Fargo follows similar downgrades at other investment firms due to weaker-than-expected Q3 results.
