The White House has ordered a temporary freeze on all federal grants and loans, putting $3 trillion in funding under scrutiny and setting the stage for a legal and political showdown over the congressional power of the purse that could heavily impact a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">wide range of industries.</a>
The directive, issued Monday by the Office of Management and Budget and received by several media outlets, requires all federal agencies to halt disbursements while programs are reviewed for alignment with President Donald Trump's policy priorities.
This includes halting new awards, existing payment and funding for projects until reviewed.
The exact financial impact of the order remains uncertain. Budget experts cited <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2025/01/28/trump-spending-freeze-upends-washington-triggering-legal-threats-delays/">by the Washington Post </a>estimate at least tens of billions of dollars are at stake, though the White House directive suggests the total could be significantly higher.
Of the almost $10 trillion spent by the federal government in fiscal 2024, more than $3 trillion was federal financial assistance, Matthew Vaeth, acting director at the OMB, said in the memorandum.
&#8220;Financial assistance should be dedicated to advancing Administration priorities,&#8221; Vaeth said, adding that &#8220;the use of Federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve.&#8221;
The White House said that Social Security and Medicare remain untouched. The sweeping pause threatens funding for universities, nonprofits, contractors and private companies that depend on federal assistance.
&#8220;Nothing in this memo should be construed to impact Medicare or Social Security benefits,&#8221; the memo said. 
The immediate focus will be on how agencies handle exemptions. The OMB memo allows federal departments to request case-by-case approvals, which means some funding may still flow, but the process is likely to be slow and politically charged.
Federal agencies have until Feb. 10, 2025, to provide OMB with detailed reports outlining which programs, projects, and activities are affected by the funding pause.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Legal, Political Showdown Over Federal Funds </h3>
The move is triggering legal challenges from nonprofits and Democratic-led states.
Within hours of the announcement, lawsuits were filed in federal courts in New York, Illinois and Oregon, arguing that Trump does not have the authority to withhold congressionally approved spending.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer was among the first to push back, saying Congress-approved investments are legally mandated and asserting the president lacks the authority to override the Impoundment Control Act of 1974, which restricts unilateral executive control over federal funds.
Trump has long argued that the 1974 law is unconstitutional, stating that past presidents had far more discretion over spending before its passage.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Which Industries Could Face Trouble?</h3>
Some of the hardest-hit sectors could include clean energy, defense, health care and education, where federal dollars have played a crucial role in driving investment and growth in recent years.
Trump's OMB memo explicitly targeted climate initiatives and green energy programs. Shares of solar and renewable energy companies were among the hardest hit following the federal funding freeze.
The Invesco Solar ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAN#NYSE">TAN</a>) and the Invesco Wilderhill Clean Energy ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PBW#NYSE">PBW</a>) fell by 2% and 1.3%, respectively, on Tuesday. 
Sunnova Energy International Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOVA#NYSE">NOVA</a>) dropped 12%, Sunrun Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RUN#NASDAQ">RUN</a>) fell 9.2% and SolarEdge Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEDG#NASDAQ">SEDG</a>) declined 5%. 
Defense contractors such as Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>), RTX Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RTX#NYSE">RTX</a>) and Northrop Grumman (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOC#NYSE">NOC</a>) may also see rising uncertainty. While military spending is unlikely to be cut outright, several defense contractors rely on federal grants for research and development. 
The impact on health care remains unclear. While Medicare is shielded, Medicaid funding — which supports hospitals, managed care providers and pharmaceutical companies — could be at risk.
HCA Healthcare Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HCA#NYSE">HCA</a>) and Universal Health Services Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UHS#NYSE">UHS</a>) fell by 1% and 1.4%, respectively, while Tenet Healthcare Corp.

19 Analysts Assess SolarEdge Technologies: What You Need To Know

Price Target

JP Morgan Maintains Overweight on SolarEdge Technologies, Lowers Price Target to $19

Shares of solar stocks, including First Solar Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSLR#NASDAQ">FSLR</a>) and SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEDG#NASDAQ">SEDG</a>) were volatile Wednesday as investors reacted to President Donald Trump&#8217;s newly signed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43109461/gold-miners-defense-stocks-shine-while-solar-tanks-following-trumps-day-1-actions">executive orders promoting </a>fossil fuels and reversing climate-focused policies.
What To Know: The sell-off followed Trump's inauguration and his immediate signature on executive orders prioritizing oil and gas development over renewable energy initiatives.
According to<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/20/climate/trump-emergency-oil-gas.html"> the New York Times</a>, his administration announced plans to withdraw from the Paris Agreement, expand fossil fuel drilling on public lands and waters, and eliminate regulatory support for electric vehicles and renewable energy projects. Trump also declared a national energy emergency aimed at accelerating fossil fuel production, further unsettling renewable energy investors.
The market&#8217;s response may reflect concerns over the new administration's shift in energy policy, which contrasts sharply with the pro-renewable initiatives under the previous Biden administration. Analysts believe this pivot could slow the growth of the renewable energy sector and significantly impact solar companies, contributing to the downward pressure on their stock prices.
Price Action: First Solar&#8217;s stock closed Wednesday at $171.90, down 6.33%, and SolarEdge Technologies closed at $13.05, down 4.74%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Canaccord Genuity Maintains Hold on SolarEdge Technologies, Raises Price Target to $18

SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEDG#NASDAQ">SEDG</a>) shares are trading higher on Tuesday. On Monday, Goldman Sachs analyst Brian Lee&nbsp;raised its price target from $19 to $21,<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SEDG/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener"> while reiterating a Buy rating</a>.
Yesterday, the company&nbsp;revealed layoffs of approximately&nbsp;400&nbsp;employees and post-completion the workforce reduction is expected to save $9 million to $11 million quarterly,<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42824335/why-solaredge-technologies-shares-are-rocketing-on-monday" rel="noreferrer noopener"> excluding implementation costs</a>.
Also, the company disclosed safe harbor agreements with two of the largest U.S.&nbsp;residential solar installers and financers, including Sunrun,&nbsp;and completed its second sale of 45X Advanced Manufacturing Production Tax Credits.
Following the November restructuring announcement and latest update, the analyst expects SEDG to achieve approximately $17.5 million in cost reductions by the end of 2025.
This should help the company accelerate its path to profitability as the macroeconomic environment stabilizes, adds the analyst.
Moreover, Lee&nbsp;finds the agreement with Sunrun particularly significant, considering investor concerns about potential share losses to Tesla, as its new Powerwall 3 battery does not include SEDG inverters.
Although the exact amount of credits sold wasn&#8217;t disclosed, the company seems to be following a strategy to sell 45X credits regularly on a quarterly basis, says the analyst.
Lee writes that 45X credits sale deal should support SEDG&#8217;s fourth quarter free cash flow guidance of ($20 million) to $0 million, with the potential for upside, as the company aims to achieve positive FCF in the first half of 2025.
Consequently, the analyst revised adjusted EPS estimates for 2024-2026 to ($20.84) for 2024, ($2.99) for 2025, and $1.78 for 2026, compared to the previous estimates of ($20.84), ($2.89), and $1.64, respectively.
The change reflects lower operating expenses, with the 2025 estimate reduced due to restructuring charges.
Also, Wells Fargo raised its price target from $15 to $19 while maintaining an Equal-Weight rating.
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;ProShares S&amp;P Kensho Cleantech ETF&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CTEX#NYSE">CTEX</a>) and SPDR S&amp;P Kensho Clean Power ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNRG#NYSE">CNRG</a>).
Price Action: SEDG shares are up 12.9% at $18.39 at the last check Tuesday.

Goldman Sachs Maintains Buy on SolarEdge Technologies, Raises Price Target to $21

SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEDG#NASDAQ">SEDG</a>) shares are trading higher after the company revealed its 2025 plans, which include layoffs of approximately <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/secfilings/25/01/42810770/solaredge-technologies-inc-general-corporate-statement-form8" rel="noreferrer noopener">400 </a>employees and other spending reduction measures.
The company also expects pre-tax charges of $3 million to $5 million for severance and related costs, primarily cash-based, with the majority recognized in the first quarter of 2025.
Once completed, the workforce reduction is expected to save $9 million to $11 million quarterly, excluding implementation costs.

Under the agreements, SolarEdge will supply domestically produced inverters, Power Optimizers, and batteries, which, when paired with other U.S.-made equipment, will help partners qualify for domestic content bonus tax credits. The company expects deliveries to occur throughout 2025.
Additionally, the company has completed its second sale of 45X Advanced Manufacturing Production Tax Credits.
This transaction includes credits generated in the third quarter of 2024, backed by U.S.-manufactured inverters and Power Optimizers, qualifying for the 11c/w advanced manufacturing production credit.
The company plans to present corporate objectives for <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">2025 in the upcoming weeks.</a>
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via ProShares S&amp;P Kensho Cleantech ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CTEX#NYSE">CTEX</a>) and SPDR S&amp;P Kensho Clean Power ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNRG#NYSE">CNRG</a>).
