Losses Stay Heavy As TTM Net Income Hits US$405 Million
- On a trailing 12 month basis, SolarEdge booked revenue of US$1.18b and a net loss of US$405.4 million, compared with quarterly losses in FY 2025 that ranged from US$50.1 million in Q3 to US$132.1 million in Q4 on revenue between US$219.5 million and US$340.2 million.
- Bulls argue that analysts' projections of earnings growth of 83.44% per year and a move to profitability within three years line up with this revenue base, yet:
- Five year losses have widened at an annualized 66.1% rate, so the path from a US$405.4 million trailing loss to positive earnings would require a sharp shift in how that US$1.18b in sales converts into profit.
- The TTM Basic EPS loss of US$6.88 still reflects the earlier very large loss of about US$1.7b referenced in the narratives, so readers may want to compare the current loss level to those forecasts to see if the optimistic scenario matches the recent earnings run rate.
Valuation Tension: 2.1x P/S Versus DCF Fair Value Of US$21.62
- The data shows SolarEdge trading on a P/S of 2.1x, below the US Semiconductor industry average of 6.2x and a peer average of 2.6x, while a DCF fair value of US$21.62 sits well below the current share price of US$40.40.
- Consensus narrative highlights that analysts have a price target of US$33.71, supported by forecast revenue growth of 20.6% per year and profit margins moving from about negative 185.2% to 0.7%, yet:
- The current market price is above both that US$33.71 target and the DCF fair value of US$21.62, so the relatively low P/S ratio is being weighed against models that point to lower values than where the stock is trading now.
- With trailing 12 month revenue growth at 10.1% per year and the business still loss making, readers may want to think about whether the faster growth and margin lift in those forecasts feel in line with the earnings profile seen in FY 2025.
Quarterly Swings In Losses Challenge Bearish Margin Concerns
- Quarterly net losses moved from US$1.23b in Q3 FY 2024 to US$287.4 million in Q4 FY 2024, then to a range of US$50.1 million to US$132.1 million across FY 2025 on revenue between US$196.2 million and US$340.2 million.
- Bears point to pressure from tariffs, competition and policy risk as reasons margins could stay weak even if revenue grows at 9.2% per year as used in their scenario, but:
- The step down from that earlier US$1.23b quarterly loss to FY 2025 losses that are in the tens or low hundreds of millions suggests recent results are being measured off a very stressed starting point, which matters when judging how persistent those margin pressures might be.
- The bearish narrative also uses a scenario where profit margins eventually move toward the sector average of 14.1%, leading to US$172.8 million of earnings, so readers may want to compare that to the current quarterly loss band to see how conservative or aggressive that sounds relative to the latest filing.
