What Happened?
Shares of solar power systems company SolarEdge (NASDAQ: SEDG) fell 28.1% in the afternoon session after the company issued disappointing revenue guidance for the third quarter, which overshadowed its better-than-expected second-quarter results.
While SolarEdge's second-quarter earnings and revenue of $346.2 million topped analyst estimates, its outlook for the next quarter caused concern among investors. The company guided for third-quarter revenue to be between $310 million and $340 million.
This forecast was significantly below the analysts' consensus estimate, which was around $371 million. The midpoint of the company's guidance implies a sequential decline in revenue and missed Wall Street expectations by a wide margin, triggering the sharp sell-off.

What Is The Market Telling Us
SolarEdge’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 90 moves greater than 5% over the last year. But moves this big are rare even for SolarEdge and indicate this news significantly impacted the market’s perception of the business.
The previous big move we wrote about was 27 days ago when the stock gained 5.6% on the news that renewable energy installer Geo Green Power announced it would use the company's inverters and power optimizers for its domestic solar packages. Geo Green Power, a UK-based installer, described the combination of SolarEdge's products as a 'best-in-class' package. This endorsement comes amid broader positive trends for the solar industry. In the UK, the approval of a large-scale solar farm has increased attention on equipment suppliers. Additionally, reports indicate SolarEdge is seeing a booming commercial business in the U.S., with strong demand potentially leading to product scarcity. The company's competitive pricing for batteries is also reportedly helping it win over more installers.
SolarEdge is up 11.7% since the beginning of the year, but at $35.03 per share, it is still trading 55.4% below its 52-week high of $78.51 from June 2026. Despite the year-to-date gain, investors who bought $1,000 worth of SolarEdge’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at only $122.27.
