Enphase Energy Inc (ENPH) experienced a price drop of 5.07%, crossing below the 5-day SMA, while the broader market showed positive movement with the Nasdaq-100 up 0.27% and the S&P 500 up 0.31%.
This decline occurs despite a recent upgrade from Goldman Sachs, which raised its rating on Enphase Energy from Sell to Neutral, maintaining a price target of $29. The stock had previously surged by 24% over the past month, indicating a potential reassessment of its growth prospects by investors. However, concerns about weakening U.S. residential solar demand and increased tariff pressures could impact future revenue and margins.
The implications of this downgrade and the stock's recent performance suggest that investors are cautious, weighing the potential for growth against the backdrop of market challenges. The stock's movement reflects a sector rotation as investors reassess their positions in the renewable energy sector.
Wall Street analysts forecast ENPH stock price to fall over the next 12 months. According to Wall Street analysts, the average 1-year price target for ENPH is 38.35 USD with a low forecast of 26.00 USD and a high forecast of 67.00 USD. However, analyst price targets are subjective and often lag stock prices, so investors should focus on the objective reasons behind analyst rating changes, which better reflect the company's fundamentals.

Reason
Goldman Sachs upgraded Enphase Energy to Buy from Neutral with a price target of $45, up from $29. The firm sees upside to the company's near-term estimates due to safe harboring activity. In addition, Enphase likely benefited from stronger than expected volume demand in Q4 amid market share gains and ear-end follow-through from the cash and loan customer end market ahead of 25D tax credit expiration, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Goldman believes the company enters 2026 with momentum and lean channel inventories.
