Sunrun Plunges 36.2% as Solar Tax Credits Face Cuts

On June 17, 2025, Sunrun's stock plummeted by 36.2% in pre-market trading, marking a dramatic decline in its share price.

The significant drop in Sunrun's stock price is primarily due to proposed legislation aimed at reducing solar tax credits. This legislative change has sparked concerns among investors about the future profitability of solar energy companies, leading to a sell-off in the sector. The proposed modifications to the tax bill by the Senate Finance Committee have directly impacted U.S. solar energy stocks, with Sunrun being one of the most affected. The uncertainty surrounding the changes has prompted investors to reassess their positions in the solar energy sector.

Sunrun's stock has been particularly vulnerable to market trends, with sales declining by 6.7% annually over the past two years. This downward trend has further exacerbated the impact of the proposed tax credit changes, contributing to the significant drop in its share price.
