12 Information Technology Stocks Moving In Tuesday's Pre-Market Session

Goldman Sachs analyst Brian Lee revised ratings for key residential solar stocks. The analyst notes there is a disconnect between the mid-to-long-term fundamentals and valuations for solar/storage equities heading into 2025.
Solar equities appear to be overpricing risks tied to policy uncertainty, even though secular growth drivers, such as U.S. power demand and pricing, remain strong.
SEDG: The analyst upgraded SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEDG#NASDAQ">SEDG</a>) rating to Buy from Sell and raised the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SEDG/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target to $19 (from $10 prior)</a>.
After a challenging period, including a tough U.S. residential solar market and weaker European demand, the analyst notes estimates have bottomed, and concerns about SEDG&#8217;s $350 million debt in 2025 are overstated.
SEDG&#8217;s recent cost-cutting measures, including headcount and facility reductions, strengthen the outlook, adds the analyst.
Lee says that while the call may be early, he sees a turnaround as the company benefits from improved cost control and a better product mix.
The analyst sees FY25 as a key inflection point, with growth likely accelerating in FY26.
The analyst estimates negative EPS for FY25 but expects a positive fourth-quarter FY25 and strong growth in FY26. The EPS estimate of $1.64 for FY26 is well above the consensus of $0.55, adds the analyst.
CSIQ: Meanwhile, Lee downgraded Canadian Solar Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSIQ#NASDAQ">CSIQ</a>) to Sell from Neutral and cut the<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/csiq/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener"> price target to $11 (from $14 prior)</a>.
The analyst&#8217;s negative outlook stems from policy risks under the Trump administration and tariffs on solar imports from Southeast Asia.
As a major foreign supplier of solar panels to the U.S., CSIQ is highly exposed to these risks, which will impact its margins, especially given the U.S. has been one of the more profitable markets recently, says the analyst.
The analyst also sees consensus estimates as overly optimistic, with the 2025-2026 EBITDA projections 35% &#8211; 40% below the Street&#8217;s, as recent policy changes and the uncertain outlook are not fully reflected in market expectations.
The analyst says 2024-2025 EBITDA estimates remain largely unchanged, while the 2026 estimate is revised down by 6% to $688 million due to a bleak outlook.
Price Action: SEDG shares are up 23.3% at $15.19, while CSIQ shares are up 0.86% at $11.76 at the last check Tuesday.

SolarEdge Poised For Growth Amid Cost Cuts, While Canadian Solar Faces US Policy Headwinds: Goldman Sachs

Wall Street began Tuesday&#8217;s session on a weaker note, with major indices slipping after November's robust retail sales report reignited investor concerns that the Federal Reserve might hold back interest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42514008/fed-poised-to-cut-interest-rates-by-0-25-this-week-heres-why-your-focus-should-shift-to-other-signals">rate cuts next year. </a>
The data, which underscored resilient consumer spending heading into the holiday season, added a fresh layer of uncertainty to the Fed's future rate path ahead of Wednesday&#8217;s highly awaited December Federal Open Market Committee meeting.
Retail sales surged 0.7% last month, outperforming consensus estimates of a 0.5% increase and marking a notable acceleration from October's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42529956/november-retail-sales-soar-to-11-month-highs-indicate-strong-holiday-season">upwardly revised 0.5% gain. </a>
On an annual basis, sales climbed 3.8%, hitting their fastest pace since December 2023. A significant portion of the strength came from auto sales, which soared 2.6% on a monthly basis and by a robust 6.5% year-over-year, highlighting consumers' willingness to make big-ticket purchases in the fourth quarter of the year.
Spending was also robust in other categories. Nonstore retailers, driven by e-commerce activity, posted a 1.8% monthly gain, reflecting the growing dominance of online shopping as the holiday season commenced. Sporting goods, hobby, and book stores registered a 0.9% uptick, showing steady demand for discretionary items.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Market Reaction: Pressure Builds On Equities</h3>
The stronger-than-expected data put equity markets under pressure, as investors recalibrated their expectations for the Fed's next moves. 
The S&amp;P 500 index – as tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) – and Dow Jones Industrial Average both fell 0.7%, while the Nasdaq 100 – tracked by the Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) – slid 0.8%, weighed down by weakness in the chip sector. 
Semiconductor stocks led the downturn amid renewed geopolitical tensions after reports surfaced that China is broadening antitrust scrutiny on U.S. chipmakers&#8217; acquisitions in recent years. Last week, Beijing opened an investigation on U.S. chip giant Nvidia Corp.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) 2019 acquisition of Mellanox Technologies.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Investors Face Fed Uncertainty</h3>
The robust retail sales data is the latest in a series of reports—alongside <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/treasuries/24/12/42460477/producer-inflation-rises-more-than-expected-to-3-in-november-cast-shadow-on-further-disinflation-progress">hotter-than-expected inflation prints</a> and upbeat <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42511277/us-services-sector-booms-at-fastest-pace-since-october-2021-business-activity-leaps-to-over-two-year-highs">December Purchasing Managers&#8217; Index surveys</a>—that challenge the case for aggressive rate cuts next year.
While a 25-basis-point reduction at the Fed's policy meeting this week is widely anticipated, the central bank's outlook for 2025 remains in question.
Fed fund futures now suggest an 80% chance the Fed will hold rates steady at its January meeting, while expectations for a March rate cut have softened, with odds slipping to 58% from 60% a day earlier.
Betting-implied odds from CFTC-regulated Kalshi continue to suggest an elevated 92% probability of four cuts next year, yet financial markets now imply only three rate cuts.

Hopefully, when you receive this, I will be elbow-deep in turkey and stuffing.
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, and the house will be full of food, festivities, family, and friends—and I will not be obligated to buy gifts for any of them.
I hope you and yours are gathered to celebrate the day as we kick off what will hopefully be a wonderful holiday season.
Over the last few weeks, we have discussed different kinds of C-suite executives buying stocks. As I do every quarter, I checked in with the bosses for some of the best money ideas that can help you, names no one has ever heard of, and brought you some ideas that can help you stack profits towards your long-term goals.
This week, we will switch back to the C-suite of operating businesses and examine which companies receive strong buying interest from top executives.
Business development company Prospect Capital (Ticker: PSEC) has had a rough couple of weeks.
To preserve capital, the company slashed the dividend by 25%.
Moody&#8217;s knocked its credit rating down a notch, making it the second firm to do so in the last month.
After reporting a disappointing quarter, the firm announced it was exiting the CLO and real estate investing business to focus on middle-market lending.
&nbsp;Even after a rally last week, the stock is down about 12% this month and 22% year to date.
Over the last few years, the stock has fallen from over $9 a share to under $5.
The CEO, John Barry, did the only thing that made sense under the circumstances. He purchased another $9 million worth of stock, bringing his ownership to almost 17% of the company. While Barry has long been a serial buyer, this was one of his largest purchases this year.
CFO Kristin Van Dask has also been buying shares recently, as has Chief Operating Officer Grier Eliasek.
I confess that I am extremely cautious of BDCs in general and have been very skeptical of Prospect Capital&#8217;s outlook, but the heavy buying coming out of the C-Suite must be considered. They have either all lost their minds, especially Mr. Barry, or the stock has enormous rebound potential.
After the dividend cut, the stock still yields over 10% and pays monthly, so you get paid to wait for a fortune reversal.
The hotel industry has been a laggard in the tentative real estate recovery. While revenues and average occupancy rates are up slightly at first glance, most of the gains come from the upper-tier hotels in gateway cities and resort destinations.
Fortunately for Pebblebrook Hotels (Ticker: PEB), that is the market it serves.
The Real Estate Investment Trust owns 46 hotels and resorts, totaling approximately 12,000 guest rooms across 13 urban and resort markets.
While Pebblebrook&#8217;s upscale hotels and resorts are bucking the trend with higher occupancy and revenue per room rates, let us not pretend they are knocking the ball out of the park.
Growth has been in the low single digits, and the same is projected for next year.
Hurricanes Debby and Helene did not help, as they negatively impacted Pebblebrook&#8217;s southeastern resorts. The stock is down about 20% in 2024 and is less than 50% of the 2022 highs. It also trades at less than half of management&#8217;s internal net asset value calculation, which is $26.50 on the low end and $29 a share on the high end of the range.
Chairman and CEO Jon Bortz has decided that enough is enough and has been buying the stock in the open market all year. His most recent purchases, earlier this month, totaled over $300,000.
The hotel industry has been weak, but it has been a superstar compared to the solar industry. Do not get me wrong: renewables are the fastest-growing new source of energy production, and solar is leading the way.
In 2023, renewable energy production grew by over 50%, 75% of which came from new solar energy facilities. The world is projected to add approximately 593 gigawatts&nbsp;of solar capacity by the end of 2024, a 29% increase from the previous year.
Solar stocks have not done as well. The sector has faced challenges, including declining demand, regulatory changes, and increased inventories. These factors have contributed to a sector-wide decline of approximately 25% this year.
Shares of Israel-based SolarEdge Technologies (Ticker: SEDG) have faced significant pressure recently, reflecting a broader slowdown in the renewable energy sector and specific challenges tied to inventory issues and weakening demand in key markets like Europe.
SolarEdge is a leader in key solar components like inverters and energy storage. Still, headwinds and concerns about the economy have driven a staggering 86% decline in the stock price so far in 2024. The expectation for next year is not much better, especially with a new administration in the United States that will not favor renewable energy.
Corporate insiders are betting that over time, the industry headwinds will disappear, and the global trend toward renewable energy will help drive the stock back toward the old highs, giving them gains several times their recent purchase price.
The chairman of the board and a member of the board of directors have recently been buying shares in the open market. Chairman More Avery spent more than $2 million a few dollars above the current price to increase his stake in the company.
The stock is in free fall, the industry is out of favor, analysts are bearish, and the internet buzz is negative. Insiders are buying.
&nbsp;It could be a bumpy ride, but SolarEdge has the potential to give patient, aggressive investors who join the insiders spectacular long-term gains.

C-Suite Buy of the Week: Tracking Leadership Investments Amid Market Turbulence

SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEDG#NASDAQ">SEDG</a>) shares are trading higher. The company announced plans to cease all activities of its energy storage division and reduce its workforce by about 500 employees. Here&#8217;s what you <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/42215870">need to know</a>.
What To Know: In a new press release Wednesday, SolarEdge stated it was shutting down its energy storage division to prioritize its solar operations. The move will result in a workforce reduction of approximately 500 employees, largely located in South Korea.
The closure is expected to result in quarterly operating expense savings of approximately $7.5 million, with full savings anticipated to be realized by the second half of 2025. In addition, the company plans to sell assets related to its storage division, including manufacturing facilities for battery cells and packs.
&#8220;The decision to close our Energy Storage division was the result of a thoughtful analysis of our portfolio of businesses and product lines, industry trends, and the competitive environment,&#8221; said interim CEO Ronen Faier.
&#8220;The measures also represent continued execution of two of our main priorities: financial stability through cost reduction, return to cash flow positivity and profitability; and focus on our core business lines of solar, PV-attached storage and energy management capabilities. I wish to thank our Energy Storage division employees for all of their efforts in building this business.&#8221;

What's Going On With SolarEdge Technologies Stock Wednesday?

SolarEdge Technologies (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEDG#NASDAQ">SEDG</a>) announced plans to shut down its Energy Storage <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/b42210837/solaredge-announces-closure-of-energy-storage-division" rel="noreferrer noopener">division to focus on core solar operations.</a>
SolarEdge plans to cut around 500 jobs in South Korea as part of the discontinuation, mainly in manufacturing roles. This represents about 12% of the company&#8217;s workforce, with most layoffs occurring in the first half of 2025.
The company anticipates recording pre-tax charges of $81 million to $99 million. These include $40 million to $49 million in asset-related and impairment charges, $30 million to $37 million for inventory write-offs and non-cancelable purchase orders, and $4 million to $5 million for severance and related benefits (excluding stock-based compensation expenses).
Workforce reductions and related charges will be recorded in the fourth quarter of 2024&nbsp;and in the first quarter of 2025, with cash payments related to these charges of $38 million to $46 million expected, mainly for severance and non-cancelable orders. Asset sales, including facilities in South Korea, aim to offset these costs. Additional expenses may arise.
Ronen Faier, Interim Chief Executive Officer of SolarEdge, commented: &#8220;The decision to close our Energy Storage division was the result of a thoughtful analysis of our portfolio of businesses and product lines, industry trends, and the competitive environment.

SolarEdge Technologies's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEDG#NYSE">SEDG</a>) short percent of float has risen 13.92% since its last report.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for SolarEdge Technologies has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing SolarEdge Technologies's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, SolarEdge Technologies's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.38%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

How Is The Market Feeling About SolarEdge Technologies?

The recent U.S. presidential election results, including a Republican sweep, have raised questions about the future of renewable energy under President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s leadership.
Morgan Stanley&#8217;s report evaluates the economic impact on renewables under various policy scenarios and its effects on earnings.
The analyst has adjusted its view on the clean tech industry to &#8220;In-Line&#8221; from &#8220;Attractive.&#8221;
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41880110/solar-renewables-stocks-crash-after-trump-win-should-you-buy-now-at-cheap-valuations" rel="noreferrer noopener">Solar, Renewables Stocks Crash After Trump Win: Should You Buy Now At Cheap Valuations?</a>
While long-term demand for renewables is likely stronger than current market perceptions, near-term growth prospects have become less clear due to new uncertainties.
It&#8217;s important to remember that these new uncertainties add to the already difficult environment facing the clean energy sector, dealing with issues such as permitting and interconnection delays, funding challenges, and intense competition that have hurt profitability.
Uncertainty about the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), tariffs, and interest rates has significantly impacted clean fuel valuations.
Morgan Stanley writes that clear guidance on the IRA is essential for clean tech valuations to rebound. However, this may take time since it will likely be linked to discussions about the Tax Cuts and Job Act&nbsp;(TCJA), which is set to expire at the end of 2025.
Morgan Stanley recommends investing in stocks with high-quality and durable growth/ margins, with a clear catalyst path and/or strong balance sheet to weather any near-term volatility in growth and/or profitability.

<ul>
<li>SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEDG#NASDAQ">SEDG</a>): The analyst reduced the price target from $23 to $9, citing slower profitability due to decreased European demand and tough competition from cheaper Chinese manufacturers. As a result, the company is not expected to break even on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SEDG/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">EBITDA until after 2026</a>.

<li>Maxeon Solar Technologies (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAXN#NASDAQ">MAXN</a>): Morgan Stanley anticipates a slow recovery to profitability due to increasing competition in Europe&#8217;s utility-scale solar market, which will likely keep pushing prices down. The analyst maintains the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MAXN/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target of $4</a>. Additionally, recent customer losses in the U.S. residential market could make maintaining market share and premium pricing harder. Stock is trading 10.08% lower at $10.08 at last check Friday.</li>
<li>TPI Composites, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TPIC#NASDAQ">TPIC</a>): The analyst notes an uncertainty about how quickly the U.S. wind market will recover, mainly due to challenges in securing financing and recent issues with design and inspections as the industry shifts to larger blade sizes. Morgan Stanley has cut the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TPIC/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target from $4 to $2</a>.
