Array Technologies reported third-quarter results late Tuesday that soundly beat Wall Street estimates. ARRY stock jumped.
The company reported adjusted earnings of 18 cents share on revenue of $515 million. Analysts expected Array to report earnings of 9 cents on revenue of $398.5 million. Revenue rocketed 173% higher from the year-ago quarter.
ARRY stock surged 16.4% to 19.75, during after-hours trading on the stock market today.

Array is one of the largest manufacturers of trackers, used in ground-mounted solar energy projects. Trackers adjust and align solar panels throughout the day to face the sun at the optimal angle.
Solar energy stocks are receiving a big boost from passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, a bill signed in August that provides $369 billion for the development of green energy. ARRY stock is up 8% this year.
