MILPITAS, California, August 27, 2026, 00:05 — SolarEdge Technologies stock jumped 10.7%, boosting its market capitalization by $197 million, following the company's wager on FCC-certified inverters.
Market snapshot: August 26, 2026, 20:15 EDT (August 27, 00:15 UTC). Fundamentals: quarter ended June 30, 2026.
SolarEdge added about $197 million in quoted value. Volume reached 6.53 million shares, or 2.1× the three-month average.
UBS upgraded SEDG to Buy and lifted its target to $42. The broker says FCC restrictions touch more than half the U.S. inverter market, creating a share, pricing and margin opening for U.S.-made products.
Q3 midpoint is 6.1% below Q2. Guided gross margin is 22%–26%.

FCC implementation may be delayed, narrowed or exempt products. Financing costs can restrain residential installations. SolarEdge also must reduce inventory while defending price and converting U.S. capacity into profitable volume.
