SolarEdge Technologies' Q2 Earnings Top Estimates, Revenues Rise Y/Y

SEDG’s Revenues

Revenues increased 19.6% year over year to $346.2 million and surpassed the consensus estimate of $343 million by 1.3%. Strong European demand and U.S. commercial and industrial activity offset softness in the U.S. residential market. Battery volume reached 426 megawatt-hours.

Highlights of SEDG’s Q2 Release

Adjusted gross profit rose to $98.7 million from $36.9 million in the prior-year quarter. The adjusted gross margin expanded to 28.6% from 13.1%, representing the sixth consecutive quarter of year-over-year gross margin improvement.

The reported margin included a $13.3 million benefit related to tariff matters under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Even with that contribution, the widening margin and stronger revenue base helped SolarEdge return to adjusted operating profitability for the first time since the second quarter of 2023.

Adjusted operating expenses were $88.5 million compared with $85.2 million a year earlier. However, the improvement in gross profit more than offset the modest increase in expenses, resulting in adjusted operating income of $10.2 million.

SEDG had recorded an adjusted operating loss of $48.3 million in the prior-year period.

SEDG's Product Volumes Support the Recovery

SEDG recognized revenues from approximately 62,600 inverters during the quarter, up from 50,500 in the first quarter. Optimizer volume increased sequentially to nearly 2.49 million units from roughly 2.44 million.

Battery volume climbed to 426 megawatt-hours from 331 megawatt-hours in the preceding quarter. The sharp sequential increase supports the strong battery revenue performance and highlights the product category’s growing importance within SEDG’s sales mix.

SEDG’s Financial Performance

Cash and cash equivalents reached $527.3 million as of June 30, 2026, up from $455.1 million at the end of 2025.

As of the same date, total long-term liabilities were $971.1 million compared with $951.2 million as of Dec. 31, 2025.

The net cash provided by operating activities in the first six months of 2026 amounted to $35.84 million compared with $26.02 million in the year-ago period.

SEDG’s Q3 2026 Guidance

For the third quarter of 2026, the company expects revenues to be between $310 million and $340 million. The midpoint of $325 million implies a sequential decline from the second-quarter level. The Zacks Consensus Estimate is pegged at $377.18 million, higher than the company’s guided range.

Adjusted gross margin is projected between 22% and 26%, while adjusted operating expenses are expected in the range of $86 million to $91 million. The guidance excludes potential third-quarter tariff refunds and assumes no significant revenue pull-forward.
