Workers install solar panels during a SunPower installation on a home in Napa, California, US, on Monday, July 17, 2023. SunPower stock collapsed more than 40% this week after the company informed dealers that it will no longer support new leases, installations or product shipments, with analysts largely writing the company off as on the verge of going out of business. SunPower stock has lost nearly all of its value the last 12 months, with shares down nearly90% to close at $1.51 on Thursday.

"Considering the debt that the company has accumulated, we believe that SPWR's equity no longer has any value."

This week, the benchmark Invesco Solar ETF (TAN) and the iShares Global Clean Energy ETF (ICLN) are down 6.2% and 4.6%, respectively. Residential solar stocks, including Enphase , Sunnova , Sunrun , SolarEdge and SunPower , would face a "severe impact" if Republicans successfully weaken or entirely repeal the IRA, according to Piper. The stock in the clean energy space with the least exposure to election risks is GE Vernova , according to a July slide deck from JPMorgan on clean energy. As a domestic manufacturer, First Solar potentially stands to benefit if the U.S. trade war with China intensifies under a Trump administration, according to Kallo. Though total IRA repeal may be unlikely, solar and clean energy stocks will "continue to be volatile until (and even after) the election due to headline risk," Kallo said.

Technical signals are indicating the dramatic meme stock rally , driven by a short squeeze, could soon come to a painful end, according to Wolfe Research's Rob Ginsberg. A short squeeze occurs when investors who had bet against a stock by borrowing shares and hoping to buy them back later at a lower price luck out. This then pushes the stock price higher. SunPower , another short squeeze candidate, dropped 19% Wednesday before the open, after surging 60% Tuesday. Wolfe Research said an index it manages with Nomura that measures stocks with high short interest this week "rallied into a lower high at long-term resistance."

AMC Entertainment , GameStop — AMC and GameStop shares posted fell in early morning trading as momentum fizzled from the meme stock craze , which was reignited Monday by a social media reappearance from "Roaring Kitty." GameStop shares slid 6%. Boeing — The airplane manufacturer's shares slid 1.1% after the Justice Department said Boeing violated a 2021 settlement related to its two fatal 737 Max crashes, exposing the company to potential U.S. prosecution. SunPower — The solar stock dropped 22.3%, giving back some of its 59% surge from the prior session.

GameStop and AMC Entertainment extended their gains on Tuesday to more than 100%. AMC Entertainment took advantage of the massive rally by selling shares to raise capital. AdvertisementWhat began with a Sunday evening tweet from Keith Gill, AKA Roaring Kitty, has materialized into a massive short-squeeze rally that has taken shares of GameStop and AMC Entertainment up 74% and 78% on Monday alone. Before the opening bell, shares of GameStop and AMC soared as much as 158% and 132%, respectively.

As a new meme frenzy unfolds in the market, traders are once again making bets in stocks with high levels of short interest. This activity could lead several companies to become the next targets of a short squeeze. A short squeeze happens when a stock price surges and forces those shorting the stock to purchase shares, or cover their shorts, to buy back stock and cut their losses. Another solar name, Maxeon Solar Technologies , has its short interest as a percent of float at about 45%. The Children's Place is another short squeeze target, as 70% of its floating shares are being sold short.

Investors are stepping up bets against a broad collection of stocks as the broader market gets increasingly volatile following another hotter-than-expected March inflation report .

Riley Financial is also seeing large short interest, amounting to almost 76% of its float. Other stocks with high short interest include ImmunityBio and Sunnova Energy.

Goldman Sachs thinks Maxeon Solar Technologies will see eye-popping gains despite the company's recent earnings disappointment. Analyst Brian Lee maintained his buy rating on the Singapore-based solar panel maker. He did lower his 12-month price target on the stock by $3 to $18, but that still implies shares can go up 195% from Wednesday's close. Shares of the solar company plunged 14% on Thursday, reaching a 52-week low, after Maxeon reported third-quarter results that missed analysts' expectations by a wide margin. But a positive catalyst for the stock going forward, Lee noted, is that Maxeon announced a settlement on Wednesday with residential solar technology provider SunPower .

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.

[1/5] Solar panels from SunPower are installed on residential buildings at a model home display in the Eureka Grove neighborhood of Granite Bay, California, U.S., October 5, 2021. But global solar panel prices have collapsed due to a wave of new Asian production capacity in recent months, leading many in the U.S. solar industry to worry many of these proposed factories may be uneconomical. U.S. officials have repeatedly warned that over-reliance on Chinese clean energy technology could pose a security risk similar to Europe's historical dependence on Russian natural gas. A White House spokesperson did not respond to questions about recent market challenges facing domestic solar manufacturers, but said Biden's policies had generated a huge wave of investment and were revitalizing American manufacturing. Mike Carr, executive director of the Solar Energy Manufacturers for America trade group, said factories could be delayed, extending U.S. dependence on China.

Solaredge 's warning on Thursday of weakening European demand was another red flag following what has already been a tumultuous year for the solar industry. Several Wall Street investment banks downgraded SolarEdge and slashed their price targets in reaction to the preannouncement. Deutsche Bank downgraded SolarEdge , along with peer solar stocks Sunrun and Sunnova , to a hold rating from buy. Analyst Corinne Blanchard halved SolarEdge's price target to $150 from $300, although this still implies 32% potential upside from the stock's Thursday close. Besides waning European demand, Blanchard highlighted that U.S. demand has also declined and may not bottom until early 2024.

High interest rates that caused financing costs for panel installations to surge and enduring supply chain disruptions have stifled residential and corporate solar system orders through much of 2023, hammering sector sentiment. SunPower Corporation (SPWR.O), which for nearly 40 years has been one of the largest U.S. residential solar system installers, has been the downside leader in terms of key solar share prices, dropping by nearly two-thirds year-to-date. The company also expects its leasing business - where it leases instead of sells solar panels to households, and charges homeowners a monthly fee - to show continued growth following a 108% expansion in the second quarter. HOME GROWN PRODUCTIONFirms that specialize in the manufacture of key solar components have also seen steep stock price declines this year. Wall Street trackers are also upbeat on the outlook for First Solar (FSLR.O), which is one the few solar sector companies to have had share prices gain year-to-date.

There could be better-than-expected uptake in residential solar energy — and that can mean good news for some stocks in the space, according to JPMorgan. "We believe the survey results signal that homeowner interest for adding residential solar systems is stronger than currently low investor sentiment and recent under performance of residential solar stocks indicates," he said. Long-term investors can find value in high-quality residential solar as the market gains favor over time, he said. He pointed to Sunrun , Sunnova , Enphase and Solaredge as good picks in the area. Ultimately, the survey showed that homeowners interested in solar will likely install it, but it may not be a near-term decision.
