ANALYSTS STAY CAUTIOUS
** RBC Capital Markets("Sector Perform") cuts PT to $31 from $33, citing weak international demand and the end of the 25D tax credit, which is driving pull-forward, destocking, and safe harbor activity
** ENPH's growth hinges on executing its roadmap and scaling a pre-paid lease + loan model to help installers regain share. With limited rollout, it's too early to judge - RBC
** J.P.Morgan ("Neutral") cuts PT to $37 from $40, says the lower guidance and relatively limited visibility into the timing of a demand rebound leads them to lower their estimates
** Evercore ISI ("In-line") cuts PT to $33 from $40, noting a rebound from the Q1 26 trough-level seems relatively inevitable over the balance of the year
** Brokerage says its skeptical a modest 5% increase in electricity prices would be enough to motivate homeowners to invest in significant solar upgrades such as installing solar systems, batteries, or related equipments
