Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENPH) is scheduled to report second-quarter 2022 results on Jul 26 after the closing bell.
In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 13.24%. Enphase Energy has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 23.79%, on average.
Factors to Note
The increased demand for ENPH's Storage Systems, particularly in the United States, is likely to have significantly boosted its shipment growth in the second quarter, thereby bolstering its revenues.
The strong demand for Enphase products in Europe, coupled with the company's effort to further expand in the region, must have added impetus to its top line. The company expects 40% sequential growth in revenues in the second quarter in Europe, thus giving a strong boost to the revenues of the soon-to-be-reported quarter. Europe and the United States apart, Enphase Energy's top line may have benefited from its steady performance in Australia, India and Brazil.
Moreover, ENPH's second-quarter top line is projected to have benefited from the growth of the Enphase installer network and the continued adoption of its high-power IQ 8 microinverters.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter revenues is pegged at $506.6 million, suggesting growth of 60.3% from the year-ago quarter.
However, higher logistics costs, driven by inflation, are likely to have dented the earnings of the company in the soon to-be-reported quarter. However, a slight price increase in the battery segment may have offset the negative impact on the bottom line in the second quarter.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter earnings is pegged at 83 cents per share, indicating an improvement of 56.6% from the prior-year reported figure.
