Sunrun's stock was down nearly 9% in morning trading on Thursday after the company posted a steeper fourth-quarter loss than Wall Street expected and missed revenue estimates.

☆ Solar stocks could rebound in 2024 after a brutal year but interest rates will make or break the recovery

Solar stocks could rebound in the second half of 2024 after taking a beating this year, though the industry's recovery depends largely on whether the Federal Reserve raises interest rates again. The rally comes as the residential solar industry looks toward the end of a rough year, with demand softening significantly as repeated rate hikes made installations unattractive for consumers. "The big headwind is interest rates," said Julien Dumoulin-Smith, a stock analyst who covers clean energy for Bank of America. Inventory problem The residential solar companies misread the market this year after a record 2022. The residential solar stocks will probably be broadly revisited on the buyside sometime around the spring of 2024, Blanchard said, though this also depends on what the Federal Reserve does with interest rates.

Shares of SolarEdge tumbled over 20% in extending trading Wednesday after the solar product manufacturer reported soft guidance for its fourth quarter amid demand struggles in the renewable energy sector. For the overall solar sector, SolarEdge said it expects revenue in the $275 million to $320 million range. At the time, Lando said installation rates for solar panels had declined though those rates typically increase during the third quarter. SolarEdge is based in Israel, but Lando said in October the Israel-Hamas war has not had an impact on manufacturing. The solar sector has faced headwinds over the past year as rising interest rates weigh on the demand for solar energy.
