SolarEdge Technologies Shares Rally 1.71% on Friday, Marking Four-Day 5.72% Surge Amid Renewed Investor Confidence

SolarEdge Technologies (SEDG) shares rose 1.71% on Friday, marking the fourth consecutive day of gains and a 5.72% increase over the past four trading sessions. The stock reached an intraday high of $34.49, its highest level since August 2025, with a 4.27% intraday surge reflecting renewed investor confidence in the solar inverter maker.

The recent rally comes amid a volatile backdrop shaped by shifting U.S. energy policy and mixed analyst sentiment. In late August, the Trump administration’s abrupt halt on new solar and wind project approvals triggered an 8-day sell-off in renewable energy stocks, including a 7.2% drop in SEDG shares. However, the stock has since partially recovered, with analysts citing long-term growth potential in upward revisions. Despite a recent 0.2% decline, 15 analysts have raised earnings estimates in the past month, though divergent views persist, ranging from a “Sell” rating with a $7.00 target to a “Neutral” stance with $30.00. The average 12-month price target of $19.86 suggests cautious optimism, though wide estimates highlight market uncertainty.

Financial performance remains a concern for investors. SolarEdge reported Q2 2025 results exceeding revenue expectations but continued to post a -43.1% net margin and -22.53% return on equity, underscoring profitability challenges. The company’s reliance on U.S. solar projects, coupled with the impending phase-out of the residential clean energy tax credit in 2026, raises risks for near-term growth. Meanwhile, technical indicators such as narrowing Bollinger Bands and a KDJ death cross on August 29 suggest bearish momentum, complicating the short-term outlook.

Strategic diversification into Europe offers a potential offset to U.S. market risks. A partnership with Schaeffler to deploy 2,300 EV charging points across the continent aligns with broader renewable energy trends, including the EU’s €11 billion wind farm investment and the UK’s offshore wind manufacturing fund. While these initiatives support long-term sectoral growth, SolarEdge’s ability to scale operations profitably in Europe remains unproven. The company’s current financials indicate that such expansion may not immediately resolve profitability issues but could provide a buffer against U.S.-centric policy volatility.
