Shares of SolarEdge (SEDG) attracted attention Friday following price target revisions from two prominent Wall Street firms, JPMorgan and Royal Bank of Canada, although the broader analyst community maintains a guarded perspective.
SolarEdge Technologies, Inc., SEDG
JPMorgan increased its price objective to $44 from the previous $37, maintaining its “neutral” stance on the stock. This revised target represents roughly 24% upside potential from the stock’s most recent closing price of $35.52.
Royal Bank of Canada similarly adjusted its forecast upward, elevating its target to $30 from $24. However, RBC’s new projection still suggests approximately 17% downside from the prior session’s close, with the firm maintaining its “sector perform” designation.
These target adjustments followed SolarEdge’s 2026 Investor Day presentation, during which management outlined ambitious long-term revenue objectives of approximately $2.4 billion by 2029. The company also revealed strategic initiatives to penetrate the power infrastructure market serving AI applications and hyperscale data centers.
This expansion strategy features a collaborative 800V DC protection framework developed with NVIDIA, alongside an enhanced partnership with Infineon focusing on solid-state circuit breaker technology. The data center infrastructure represents an entirely new growth avenue for SolarEdge.
Paradoxically, shares declined following the Investor Day event. Market participants seemed to fixate on the near-term revenue projection of roughly $1.3 billion for fiscal 2026, which aligned closely with existing expectations and failed to generate meaningful enthusiasm.
Quarterly Results Exceed Forecasts Despite Ongoing Losses
SolarEdge released its latest quarterly figures on August 5. The solar technology firm delivered earnings of $0.05 per share, surpassing analyst projections that had anticipated a $0.02 loss. Quarterly revenue reached $346.2 million, marginally exceeding the $341.1 million consensus estimate.
Top-line growth registered at 19.6% on a year-over-year basis. During the comparable period last year, SolarEdge recorded a loss of $0.81 per share. While the improvement is substantial, profitability remains elusive.
The company’s net margin currently stands at negative 20.29%, with return on equity at negative 29.17%. For the complete fiscal year, the analyst community projects a loss of $1.23 per share.
Wall Street Maintains Reserved Posture
Looking across the full spectrum of analyst coverage, sentiment remains decidedly mixed. Goldman Sachs reduced its price target from $34 to $30 in August while maintaining a “sell” recommendation. Susquehanna lowered its objective from $56 to $38 with a “neutral” stance.
Glj Research maintains a “sell” rating on the shares. Among the more optimistic voices, UBS upgraded SolarEdge from “neutral” to “buy” in late August, lifting its target from $36 to $42.
Weiss Ratings adjusted SEDG from “sell (e+)” to “sell (d-),” representing a technical upgrade while remaining solidly in bearish territory.
Current consensus targets average approximately $39.43, comprising 2 Buy recommendations, 10 Hold ratings, and 5 Sell ratings. Institutional investors and hedge funds collectively own 95.1% of outstanding shares.
The equity has reached a 52-week peak of $81.25 and touched a 52-week floor of $28.21. The 50-day moving average currently sits at $40.18, while the 200-day moving average rests at $46.40.
