July 28 (Reuters) - Shares of Enphase Energy (ENPH.O) slumped nearly 11% on Friday, after the solar inverter maker's third-quarter revenue target fell well short of analyst estimates due to weak demand. The Fremont, California-based company forecast revenue between $550 million and $600 million for the quarter ending Sept. 30, compared with analysts' estimate of $746.5 million. Therefore, we are taking aggressive and prudent actions in the U.S. to manage down the channel inventory," said Enphase Energy CEO Badrinarayanan Kothandaraman. Enphase also announced a new $1 billion share buyback plan, which failed to stem the share selloff.

July 26 (Reuters) - Solar inverter maker Enphase Energy (ENPH.O) forecast third-quarter revenue below Wall Street estimates on weak demand in the United States, sending its shares down 13.4% in extended trading on Thursday. U.S. demand growth has been tepid as cheaper electricity prices in states like Texas and Arizona make the economics of residential solar less attractive. In the U.S., the solar market has also taken a hit from the Federal Reserve's aggressive tightening that has increased borrowing costs for consumers. The coastal state accounts for nearly a third of the U.S. residential solar market. Enphase reported an adjusted profit of $1.47 per share for the quarter ended June 30, beating estimates of $1.25.

Investors are hoping that next week's Federal Reserve meeting offers more clarity about the path interest rates could take. Rising interest rates squeeze consumers, while a cut to follow should help boost economic activity. These pricey purchases are often financed, and higher rates mean higher costs. "Even if the sticker price of the thing doesn't change, the interest rate still matters a lot for their monthly budget." The "brakes were hit very hard in 2022," largely due to higher rates on the new-home construction side, he said.

The S & P 500 posted its second straight weekly decline, falling 0.3% this week. Given this backdrop, investors have turned to several consumer staples — traditionally seen as defensive stocks — to shore up their portfolios. Mondelez , PepsiCo and Molson Coors — all staples — are the most overbought S & P 500 names through Friday's session. Shares of Mondelez have rallied more than 16% year to date, easily outperforming the S & P 500's 7.4% advance. Estee Lauder is the most oversold S & P 500 stock.

Solar panel manufacturer First Solar emerged as this week's biggest gainer, with shares surging 26.3% as of Friday morning. Approximately 41% of analysts covering the stock rate it a buy, according to FactSet. To be sure, the stock is already 2.6% above analysts' consensus price target. More than half of analysts covering Albemarle rate it a buy, according to FactSet data. The stock is up approximately 15% in 2023, and analysts estimate additional 6% growth, based on the average price target.

The law is viewed as a watershed for domestic solar manufacturing, which has struggled for years to compete with a flood of cheap imports from China. Since passage of the IRA, companies have announced more than $13 billion in U.S. factory investments, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA). According to Treasury's proposed guidelines, the manufactured products in a typical solar energy facility would include modules, trackers and inverters. But solar cells account for about 30% of the costs of the products that make up a solar facility, making them a large piece of the puzzle. The top solar trade group, Solar Energy Industries Association, had proposed that panels assembled in the United States should qualify for the credit regardless of where the cells inside them are produced.
