  • Enphase Energy Stock Price Target Raised to $40 by TD Cowen
    February 5, 2026, 6:48 AM EST. TD Cowen raised Enphase Energy's (NASDAQ:ENPH) price target from $35 to $40, signaling a potential 7.3% upside. The semiconductor company, involved in solar energy solutions, currently holds a hold rating from TD Cowen. Other analysts present mixed views: Barclays boosted its target to $35 but rated it underweight, Deutsche Bank stays neutral at $35, while Morgan Stanley lowered its target to $26 citing caution. Despite a recent earnings beat with $0.71 EPS surpassing estimates, revenue fell 10.3% year-over-year to $343.32 million. Enphase stock trades near $37.28, with a market cap of $4.88 billion and a P/E ratio of 25.71. Analyst consensus leans toward a reduce rating, reflecting cautious investor sentiment amid soft financials.
