Key points:
- Enphase post solid revenue growth in Q421 earnings, ENPH stock soared over 20%
- The solar-energy company has benefitted from a global battery shortage, driving sales
- With shortages expected to continue throughout fiscal 2022, Enphase is well-positioned
A key figure in the solar sector, Enphase Energy’s (NASDAQ: ENPH) microinverters have proved instrumental in revolutionizing the logistics of solar power across residential homes. The company’s impact across Colorado has been undoubtedly impressive, but the company’s global footprint is starting to deepen – outlined by an uplifting earnings report after the market close on Tuesday.
Supply chain issues have proved to be a prevalent, almost homogenous issue throughout the economic landscape of the last year or so; causing companies to cut fiscal guidance across industries.
For Enphase, the global battery shortage acted as nothing less than a cash cow for the company; with record demand spurring a 53% quarterly jump in IQ battery orders. Clutching at the silver lining, Enphase also announced the bolstering of its battery facilities in Mexico and India. With the shortage expected to continue throughout fiscal 2022, Enphase appears incredibly well-positioned.
In terms of revenue, Enphase recorded $412.7M for Q421, 17% up from $351.5M in the previous quarter.
The strong demand for IQ microinverters and IQ batteries in the US and international markets was the underlying driving force behind the company’s impressive revenue growth. If shortages continue while demand increases, Enphase is likely to continue to benefit in the coming quarters.
