SolarEdge Technologies (SEDG): Reassessing Valuation After Morgan Stanley’s Upgrade and Renewed Analyst Optimism

Morgan Stanley just shifted its view on SolarEdge Technologies (SEDG) to a more neutral stance after a long stretch of skepticism, and other firms are gradually following. For investors, that kind of coordinated sentiment change is worth unpacking.

See our latest analysis for SolarEdge Technologies.

The latest upgrades are landing after a volatile stretch, with SolarEdge’s share price returning about 96 percent year to date but still leaving the three year total shareholder return deeply negative. As a result, recent momentum looks more like a sharp recovery than a full turnaround.

If this shift in sentiment around SolarEdge has your attention, it could be a good moment to see what else is setting up for a rebound across high growth tech and AI stocks.

After a brutal multiyear drawdown, a near doubling in the share price this year and a modest discount to analyst targets leaves SolarEdge looking like either a mispriced turnaround or a stock where future growth is already fully reflected.

Most Popular Narrative: 12.1% Undervalued

With SolarEdge last closing at 29.06 dollars against a narrative fair value near 33 dollars, the current setup frames an intriguing disconnect in expectations.

Analysts are assuming SolarEdge Technologies's revenue will grow by 20.6% annually over the next 3 years. Analysts assume that profit margins will increase from -185.2% today to 0.7% in 3 years time.

However, a more generous US policy backdrop and faster storage adoption could quickly justify higher margins and valuations than today’s cautious assumptions imply.
