Action:ReiteratedDate:02/19/26
The score reflects a company in a credible operational and cash-flow recovery (improving margins, positive free cash flow, and constructive 2026 guidance), partially offset by still-weak underlying profitability and a pressured equity base. Technicals are moderately supportive, while valuation remains constrained by ongoing losses and no dividend yield.
Positive Factors
Revenue Recovery & Market Share
Sustained revenue rebound indicates restored end-market demand and commercial traction. A 30% YoY recovery reflects durable order flow and reseller/installer momentum, supporting higher installed base and recurring software/service opportunities that underpin multi-quarter revenue durability.
Margin Expansion Trajectory
Consecutive quarter margin expansion signals structural improvement from SKU rationalization, mix shifts and manufacturing actions. Improvements driven by product and supply strategies (Single SKU, U.S. manufacturing) bolster sustainable gross margins versus one-off cost saves.
Debt Reduction & Cash Generation
Material deleveraging plus positive free cash flow restore financial flexibility. A stronger liquidity position and lower leverage reduce refinancing risk and provide runway to fund product launches, manufacturing ramp and commercialization efforts over the next several quarters.
Negative Factors
Persistent Losses & Weak Profitability
Despite top-line and margin recovery, deep net losses and negative margins indicate incomplete earnings power restoration. Continued losses erode equity and limit reinvestment capacity; profitability must normalize across cycles to sustainably fund growth without recurring dilution or balance-sheet stress.
Working Capital / Inventory Build
A deliberate inventory build ties up cash and increases exposure to demand shifts. Given prior multi-year cash flow volatility, higher inventory raises the risk of incremental working-capital strain if product ramp timing or end-market uptake slows, pressuring FCF durability.
Multi‑year Commercialization & Execution Risk
The large AI data-center opportunity is strategically attractive but multi-year and technically complex. Long qualification cycles and pilot dependencies create execution risk and delayed monetization, meaning capital and management focus may be tied up for years before material revenue arrives.

SolarEdge Technologies Earnings Call Summary

Earnings Call Date:Feb 18, 2026
(Q4-2025)
|
% Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:May 04, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call emphasized a clear and measurable financial turnaround in 2025 — strong Q4 revenue growth (+70% YoY), consecutive quarterly margin expansion (Q4 gross margin 23.3%), and a full-year free cash flow recovery (+$77M vs -$421M in 2024). Management highlighted market-share gains, successful product initiatives (Single SKU, Nexis), continued U.S. manufacturing ramp and a large long-term AI data center opportunity. Notable near-term headwinds and execution items include one-time charges (~$60M Kokam expense), residual non-GAAP losses, inventory build to support Nexis, currency pressure from a stronger ILS, a still-slow European market and multi-year uncertainty around SST commercialization. Overall, the positives (revenue and margin momentum, cash-flow turnaround, product and market positioning) materially outweigh the lowlights, though execution risk remains on longer-term initiatives.
Q4-2025 Updates
Positive Updates
Q4 Revenue Surge
Non-GAAP Q4 revenue of $334M, up 70% year-over-year and slightly down quarter-over-quarter, outperforming the typical seasonal decline (normally -10% to -15%).
Full-Year Revenue Growth and Turnaround
2025 revenue grew 30% year-over-year; company describes 2025 as a successful stabilization year and the first step in its turnaround.
Gross Margin Expansion
Non-GAAP gross margin expanded to 23.3% in Q4 from 18.8% in Q3 (increase of ~4.5 percentage points), marking the fifth consecutive quarter of margin expansion and a recovery from negative margins in 2024 to ~23% in Q4 2025.
Free Cash Flow Turnaround
Generated $43M of free cash flow in Q4 and $77M for full-year 2025 versus negative $421M in 2024 — a swing of approximately $498M year-over-year.
Operating and Net Loss Improvements
Non-GAAP operating loss improved to $11.0M in Q4 from $23.8M in Q3 (reduction of ~53.8% QoQ). Non-GAAP net loss improved to $8.2M ($0.14/share) from $18.3M ($0.31/share) in Q3 (reduction of ~55% QoQ).
Strong Cash Position
Cash and equivalents of approximately $581M as of Dec 31, 2025, up ~$34M in Q4 (driven by the $43M quarterly free cash flow and working capital discipline).
Market Share Gains and Battery Momentum
Increased U.S. market share across residential, commercial and storage; became #2 supplier for residential batteries in the U.S. in Q3 2025. Company reported U.S. revenues of $198M (59% of sales).
Product Innovation and Nexis Rollout
Launched Single SKU concept and began shipping initial units of the Nexis platform (launch event March 19, 2026 in Germany). Nexis highlighted for lighter footprint, modularity, improved install/commissioning times, serviceability and industry-leading 185A LRA for U.S. batteries.
U.S. Manufacturing Progress
Continued ramp of U.S. manufacturing, serving domestic demand and starting exports late in the year; U.S.-made product mix cited as a driver of higher Q4 gross margin.
AI Data Center Opportunity
Identified multi-billion-dollar addressable opportunity targeting 800V DC AI data center architecture; developing a solid-state transformer (SST) topology to convert 34.5kV to 800V DC with >99% efficiency, engaging ecosystem partners and customers with expected revenue not before 2027 (industry ramp 2028).
Negative Updates
One-Time Charges and Portfolio Actions
Recorded a one-time noncash finance expense of ~ $60M related to closure of Kokam battery manufacturing and sold remainder of E‑Mobility business for $12M (resulting in GAAP net loss of ~ $8M). These items weighed on GAAP results.
Continued Non-GAAP Net Loss
Although improving, the company remains non-GAAP net loss positive at $8.2M in Q4; operating losses persist (non-GAAP operating loss $11.0M) despite steady improvement.
Currency Headwind (ILS Strength)
Strengthening of the Israeli New Shekel (~14% appreciation over the last 12 months) represents a meaningful headwind to operating expenses; management noted hedging but cited net impact on OpEx guidance.
Inventory Increase
Inventory rose by ~$22M in Q4 due to higher raw material procurement to support Nexis launch and increased battery demand, implying near-term working capital deployment.
Europe Market Sluggishness
Europe remains a slow market; management is clearing channel inventory and expects 2026 revenue to exceed 2025 but acknowledged weak market dynamics and mixed country-by-country outlook.
Tariffs and Ongoing Cost Pressure
Tariffs and U.S. manufacturing cost components were described as an ongoing cost of doing business. Management noted drawback mechanisms mitigate some impact but did not quantify the tariff effect in guidance.
Uncertain Timing for AI Data Center Commercialization
SST/data center solution remains early-stage: technical engagements ongoing, product qualification and pilot cycles needed; management does not expect meaningful revenue before 2027 and industry ramp not expected until 2028, introducing multi-year execution risk.
Company Guidance
SolarEdge guided Q1 2026 revenues of $290–$320 million (midpoint reflecting a better‑than‑normal seasonal trend and explicitly excluding any significant one‑time pull‑forward of revenue), non‑GAAP gross margin of 20%–24%, and non‑GAAP operating expenses of $88–$93 million, and said it expects to be free‑cash‑flow positive in Q1; management noted that if revenue growth and margin expansion continue they are “on target” for EBIT profitability later in 2026. For context they reported Q4 non‑GAAP revenue of $334 million (up 70% year‑over‑year), Q4 non‑GAAP gross margin of 23.3%, Q4 free cash flow of ~$43 million and FY‑2025 free cash flow of ~$77 million (vs. ‑$421 million in 2024), Q4 non‑GAAP operating loss of $11 million and non‑GAAP net loss of $8.2 million (‑$0.14/sh), cash & equivalents of ~$581 million (12/31/25), and a Q4 revenue mix of US $198M (59%), Europe $99M (30%) and International $37M (11%); management also cited sales mix shifts (more U.S.‑made products), single‑SKU and supply‑chain actions as drivers to help achieve the guided margins.

SolarEdge Technologies Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Results show stabilization off a severe 2024 downturn: 2025 revenue rebounded and gross margin turned positive again, debt was reduced, and operating/free cash flow swung to positive. However, profitability remains meaningfully negative and the equity base has been pressured, keeping overall financial quality mixed despite the improving trajectory.
Income Statement
22
Negative
Profitability has deteriorated sharply versus the company’s earlier profile. After positive margins in 2020–2023, 2024 saw a severe collapse with negative gross profit and very large operating and net losses, and while 2025 revenue rebounded (+16.1% YoY) and gross margin turned positive again (~16.6%), the business remained meaningfully loss-making (net margin ~-34%). Overall, revenue is volatile and earnings power is currently weak despite signs of stabilization off the 2024 trough.
Balance Sheet
48
Neutral
Leverage and equity resilience are mixed. Total debt has come down materially from 2024 to 2025 ($757M to $423M) and debt is now roughly in line with equity ($427M), which is an improvement. However, equity has fallen dramatically from 2022–2023 levels, reflecting the recent heavy losses, and returns to shareholders are deeply negative in 2024. The balance sheet is no longer highly levered, but the reduced equity cushion increases risk if losses persist.
Cash Flow
55
Neutral
Cash generation improved notably in 2025, with positive operating cash flow ($104M) and positive free cash flow ($81M), a sharp swing from 2024’s large cash burn. That said, cash flow has been inconsistent over the cycle (negative operating cash flow in 2023–2024 and negative free cash flow in 2022–2024), suggesting working-capital and/or profitability sensitivity. Current momentum is constructive, but durability remains a key watch item.
