The recent class action headlines and tariff driven cost pressures come on top of a sharp 28.05% 30 day share price return decline and a 39.90% one year total shareholder return decline, extending an already weak 3 year total shareholder return record of 85.07%.

With Enphase trading around $31.19 in the face of legal headlines, tariff driven margin pressure, and a value score of 4, investors may be asking whether the selloff is overdone or whether the market is already discounting any future growth.
According to the most followed narrative on Enphase Energy, the fair value of $76.86 sits well above the recent $31.19 close, framing the current share price as a steep discount.
Enphase is slowly recovering sales from the drop in the last 12-months. I maintain that 2024 will be a down year, and the company will start recovering in 2025.
The U.S. market will be the basis for recovery as European industry is in distress.
Want to see what kind of revenue ramp and profit margins are baked into that fair value, and which future earnings multiple ties it all together?
Result: Fair Value of $76.86 (UNDERVALUED)
