SEDG And The Solar Sector Heats Up

Writer's picture: T. LivingstonT. Livingston

It is important to put the odds in your favor when trading stocks. Just as you would not want to swim against the current, you’d never want to fight the general market trend. Once you have the market at your back, the next logical step is to look for themes that are developing and industry groups that seem to be heating up. The solar sector has been showing increasing strength over the past few months. This makes sense given push for green energy with the Democrats in charge, as well as the fact that oil prices have been rising. Two of the leaders in the solar space appear to be Enphase Energy (ENPH) and SolarEdge (SEDG). ENPH first came across my radar in late October as it gapped up over 24% on massive volume. While I was not able to buy it, I always make a note to keep a stock like this on my watchlist in case it provides an excellent entry point. Enphase has had exceptionally strong earnings and sales in 2021 and has delivered a return on equity of 50%. ENPH has also seen a steady increase in fund ownership in 2021 which is an bullish sign. Moreover, management owns 5% of its’ sharing indicating they too are still bullish. SolarEdge, a competitor of ENPH, has also been acting well after gapping up on earnings in late October. While its’ fundamentals are not as strong as Enphase, it has still shown impressive sales growth in 2021. From a technical perspective, SEDG has held its' 20-day EMA after its' earnings gap up and has been consolidating in a very orderly fashion. On the weekly chart, it looks to be forming a cup and handle base. Continued strength in ENPH gives me added conviction that SolarEdge has the potential to be a big winner in the coming months. I will look to initiate a position in SEDG if it can break out on volume.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.

Risk Disclosure: Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
