<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
<p>Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.</p>
<p>Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.</p>

<p>As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Sunrun has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.</p>
<h3>Comparing Sunrun's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
<p>Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.</p>
<p>According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Sunrun's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 9.57%, which means the company has <strong>more</strong> short interest than most of its peers.</p>

General

Shares of solar stocks are trading lower in sympathy with Enphase, which reported worse-than-expected Q1 financial results and issued Q2 revenue guidance below estimates.

<p>Several solar stocks including <strong>Sunrun Inc</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RUN#NASDAQ">RUN</a>), <strong>SolarEdge Technologies Inc</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEDG#NASDAQ">SEDG</a>) and <strong>Sunnova Energy International Inc</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOVA#NYSE">NOVA</a>) are trading lower in Tuesday&#8217;s after-hours session in sympathy with shares of <strong>Enphase Energy Inc </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENPH#NASDAQ">ENPH</a>), which fell after the company reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/04/38391465/enphase-energy-q1-earnings-revenue-eps-come-in-below-estimates-amid-softening-us-demand">worse-than-expected quarterly results</a>.</p>

</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Q1 EPS:</strong> 35 cents, versus estimates of 40 cents</li>
</ul>
<p>Enphase Energy&#8217;s U.S. revenue was down approximately 34% on a year-over-year basis in the first quarter, while revenues in Europe increased by approximately 70%. </p>
<p>&#8220;The decline in revenue for the&nbsp;first quarter&nbsp;of 2024 compared to the&nbsp;fourth quarter&nbsp;of 2023 was the result of seasonality and a further softening in U.S. demand, while we continued to reduce shipments to manage channel inventory,&#8221; the company said. </p>
<p>Enphase also issued weak guidance, which appears to be adding to the selling pressure after hours. The company guided for second-quarter revenue of $290 million to $330 million versus estimates of $350.706 million. Enphase shares were down approximately 8% at last check.</p>

Shares of companies within the broader materials sector are trading lower amid overall market weakness.

<p><strong>Sunrun Inc</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RUN#NASDAQ">RUN</a>) shares are trading lower by 6% to $11.56 Thursday afternoon. The stock is trading lower after inflation impacting American producers showed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/04/38201153/producer-inflation-shows-mixed-signals-in-march-keeps-risks-of-high-for-longer-inte">mixed results</a>. The <strong>Producer Price Index (PPI)</strong> headline figure didn&#8217;t meet expectations, causing uncertainty regarding interest rate cuts. </p>
<p>However, the underlying gauge exceeded expectations, with a year-on-year increase of 2.1%, the highest in nearly a year. This uptick, coupled with strong consumer inflation data, elicited significant market reactions&#8230;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/04/38201153/producer-inflation-shows-mixed-signals-in-march-keeps-risks-of-high-for-longer-inte"><em>Read More</em></a></p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why This Matters</h2>
<p>The residential solar industry relies heavily on financing options such as leases, power purchase agreements (PPAs), and loans to make solar installations affordable for homeowners. Rising inflation and potential interest rate hikes can increase the cost of borrowing for both Sunrun and its customers. </p>
<p>Higher interest rates could make financing solar installations more expensive, potentially reducing demand for Sunrun&#8217;s services and impacting its revenue growth.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy RUN Stock</h2>
<p>By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Sunrun &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.</p>
<p>Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href='https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms'>possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy ‘fractional shares,' which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. For example, some stock, like Berkshire Hathaway, or Amazon.com, can cost thousands of dollars to own just one share. However, if you only want to invest a fraction of that, brokerages will allow you to do so. </p>
<p>In the the case of Sunrun, which is trading at $11.51 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 8.69 shares of stock.</p>
<p>If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to ‘go short' a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.</p>
<p>According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, RUN has a 52-week high of $23.85 and a 52-week low of $8.43.</p>

<h2>Understanding the Relevance of Analyst Ratings</h2>
<p>Analysts work in banking and financial systems and typically specialize in reporting for stocks or defined sectors. Analysts may attend company conference calls and meetings, research company financial statements, and communicate with insiders to publish "analyst ratings" for stocks. Analysts typically rate each stock once per quarter.</p>
<p>Some analysts also offer predictions for helpful metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates to provide further guidance as to what to do with certain tickers. It is important to keep in mind that while stock and sector analysts are specialists, they are also human and can only forecast their beliefs to traders.</p>

The Analyst Landscape: 8 Takes On Sunrun

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
<p>Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.</p>
<p>Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.</p>

Piper Sandler Sticks to Their Buy Rating for Sunrun (RUN)

<p><a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a></p>
<p>The Biden administration began with a great deal of enthusiasm around renewable <a href="https://investorplace.com/industries/energy/">energy stocks</a>. Shares of firms in wind, solar, hydrogen and electric vehicles (EVs), among other green sectors, soared on hopes on significant government stimulus. And, for a time, that thesis played out. The <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/cleanenergy/inflation-reduction-act-guidebook/">Inflation Reduction Act</a> was a landmark piece of legislation that offered unprecedented subsidies and support for various renewable energy projects.</p>



<p>However, the initial excitement has worn off. Much of the money has already been spent, and the prospect for future grants is less encouraging due to gridlock in Congress and upcoming elections in November.</p>



<p>Additionally, renewable energy often has pretty thin profit margins and new projects tend to rely on access to low interest rate loans for financing. Now that interest rates have soared, it&rsquo;s getting far more complicated to fund green energy.</p>



<p>As a result of these factors, renewable energy stocks plummeted in 2023. Some will bounce back as there is a clear long-term trend toward cleaner energy and the reduction of carbon emissions. However, these <a href="https://investorplace.com/industries/energy/renewable-energy/">renewable energy stocks</a> to avoid may be too far gone to make a significant recovery.</p>



<h2>Orsted (DNNGY)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/dnngy-stock-1-300x169.jpg" alt="Orsted factory and logo"><div>Source: oleschwander / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p><strong>Orsted</strong> (OTCMKTS:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/dnngy-stock-quote/"><strong>DNNGY</strong></a></span>) is one of the world&rsquo;s largest wind power developers. It currently has <a href="https://orstedcdn.azureedge.net/-/media/annual-report-2023/orsted-fy-2023-results--capital-markets-update.pdf?rev=952f2dd15a8a45398ccff04367b0e68b&amp;hash=4D4A607CBE7AB2DE7DCFDE97AF839A2C">24.1 GW</a> of installed and under construction power generation capacity.</p>



<p>Orsted shares plunged in 2023 thanks to a reassessment of the firm&rsquo;s project portfolio. The company warned of up to <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/denmarks-orsted-anticipates-730-mln-impact-us-portfolio-2023-08-29/">$2.3 billion</a> in impairments on its U.S. offshore wind portfolio. It also cautioned about more difficult industry conditions and financing prospects going forward.</p>



<p>The company has reduced exposure to the markets in Spain, Portugal and Norway. It is slashing 800 jobs, and it has <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/business/2024/feb/07/danish-windfarm-firm-orsted-jobs-dividend-north-sea">suspended its dividend</a> given its challenging financial position.</p>



<p>Offshore wind was always somewhat of a dicey economic proposition as it is a high-cost source of power. It has exceptionally high upfront construction costs, and there are significant associated costs such as building transmission lines out to the facilities. These offshore wind developments were viable with low-cost capital and heavy government subsidies. However, s subsidies dry up and interest rates soar, Orsted&rsquo;s economic model is in serious doubt. At this time, DNNGY is one of the renewable energy stocks to avoid.</p>



<h2>Plug Power (PLUG)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/plug1600-7-300x169.png" alt="In this photo illustration, the Plug Power logo is displayed on a smartphone screen"><div>Source: rafapress / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p><strong>Plug Power</strong> (NASDAQ:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/plug-stock-quote/"><strong>PLUG</strong></a></span>) is living on borrowed time. The struggling hydrogen power firm has been in business since the 1990s. Despite decades of best efforts, the company has not reached consistent profitability or generated any meaningful value for its shareholders.</p>



<p>PLUG stock peaked at $1,500 per share (split-adjusted) in 2000 when hydrogen power solutions were supposedly right around the corner. Fast forward to 2024 and Plug Power has lost money each of the past ten years while showing no meaningful operational momentum. In fact, its losses have ballooned, with Plug Power managing to generate a shocking $1 billion in operating losses in 2023 alone.</p>



<p>That said, PLUG stock did rally from $2 to a peak of more than $60 in 2021 as traders bid up all sorts of speculative tech and green energy companies. Now that easy money has disappeared and investors are casting a more wary eye toward unproven green energy solutions, PLUG stock is in freefall.</p>



<p>The <a href="https://investorplace.com/2024/04/plug-power-stocks-shocking-plunge-is-the-green-hydrogen-hype-deflating/">hype is wearing off</a> for Plug Power. The firm was issued a &ldquo;going concern&rdquo; warning, given its huge losses and flimsy balance sheet. The company is attempting to cut costs, but the planned reductions look like a drop in the bucket compared to its operating losses. PLUG stock seems likely to plunge to fresh all-time lows going forward.</p>



<h2>Sunrun (RUN)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/shutterstock_2012777267-300x169.png" alt="Side-view of Sunrun (RUN) company trucks in their warehouse"><div>Source: Ajinkya Kolhe / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p><strong>Sunrun</strong> (NASDAQ:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/run-stock-quote/"><strong>RUN</strong></a></span>) is a solar technology company. It offers a broad product line-up, delivering both solar power generation and storage solutions through direct-to-consumer channels and third-party affiliates.</p>



<p>Years ago, RUN stock used to trade at a lofty valuation. It seemed like an obvious winner amid the government&rsquo;s subsidy program for domestic solar power. As the total market grew, analysts expected Sunrun to enjoy a healthy piece of a larger pie. </p>



<p>However, subsidies are starting to run out, and the government has&nbsp;<a href="https://seekingalpha.com/news/4044820-sunnova-energy-sinks-as-congress-seeks-history-of-predatory-sales-practices">launched inquiries</a>&nbsp;into the solar rooftop installers specifically. Now Sunrun&rsquo;s investors must face a grim reality: the company has huge operating losses and a shaky balance sheet.</p>



<p>Sunrun lost almost $2 billion from operations over the past 12 months. And the company paid out an alarming <a href="https://investors.sunrun.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/304/sunrun-reports-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2023-financial">$653 million</a> in net interest expenses last year. This suggests that Sunrun can&rsquo;t simply shrink its way to profitability, as its financial obligations are gargantuan. With the industry now in a slump, the sun is about to set on RUN stock.</p>

Stock Market Crash Warning: Don't Get Caught Holding These 3 Renewable Energy Stocks

Solar Stocks, Berkshire, And The Latest Costco Craze

<p><a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a></p>
<p>2023 was not a good year for <a href="https://investorplace.com/industries/energy/renewable-energy/solar/">solar stocks</a>. As the <strong>S&amp;P 500</strong> gained over 25%, solar ETFs like the Invesco Solar ETF are down nearly 40%. As solar stocks to buy become cheaper and macroeconomic conditions change, they are progressively becoming better investments. </p>



<p>With slightly negative inflation data and economic growth in 2024 uncertain, solar stocks will likely outperform the overall market. It may finally be time to invest in solar stocks at a very cheap price. Below are the best three solar stocks to buy when prices plunge.&nbsp;</p>



<h2><strong>First Solar (FSLR)</strong></h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/fslr1600-300x169.png" alt="Person holding smartphone with logo of US renewable energy company First Solar Inc. (FSLR) on screen in front of website. Focus on phone display. Unmodified photo."><div>Source: T. Schneider / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p><strong>First Solar</strong> (NASDAQ:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/fslr-stock-quote/"><strong>FSLR</strong></a></span>) is one of the largest solar companies and is currently an attractive investment. It is one of the most innovative solar companies, constantly cutting costs and producing energy more efficiently. Its solar panel&rsquo;s power the world, have a strong presence outside the United States and reach five continents. In addition to spending <a href="https://www.firstsolar.com/en/Technology/CadTel">$1.5 billion on R&amp;D</a> for its PV technology, it also recently invested an enormous <a href="https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/sustainable-finance-reporting/first-solar-plans-11-bln-investment-fifth-us-panel-factory-2023-07-27/">$1.1 billion to build</a> the fifth U.S. panel factory.&nbsp;</p>



<p>First Solar&rsquo;s financials also support the buy thesis. First Solar had a massive profit margin of 30.14% in the most recent quarter. While most solar companies struggle to profit, First Solar can convert a massive portion of its revenue into profit, allowing it to invest in R&amp;D more heavily and safeguarding the company during difficult times. It also has a low P/E ratio of just 23.06 compared to the industry average of over 37, suggesting that the stock trades at a discount.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Array Technologies (ARRY)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/solar1600b-300x169.jpg" alt="3 Solar Stocks to Buy for a New Day in Solar Energy"><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div><p><strong>Array Technologies</strong> (NASDAQ:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/arry-stock-quote/"><strong>ARRY</strong></a></span>) is an American energy company that provides solar tracking solutions. They are the world&rsquo;s largest solar tracking company, working outside the U.S. in countries like Brazil, England, Spain, etc. The company&rsquo;s value to the solar energy industry is immense, as its innovative integrated system of electric motors and its DuraTrack system maximize energy production by PV panels, increasing efficiency. Its development supports the PV panel makers by making solar energy a more attractive choice to consumers. They are constantly working on new projects, supplying solar trackers for a <a href="https://arraytechinc.com/press-release/array-technologies-to-supply-solar-trackers-for-over-750-mwdc-solar-project-in-ohio/">750 MWDC Solar project</a> in Ohio and announcing a <a href="https://www.solarpowerworldonline.com/2023/11/array-technologies-to-build-second-solar-tracker-factory-in-albuquerque/">second solar tracker factory</a> in Albuquerque.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Financially, Array Technologies is performing well. They consistently make a profit, as in the past four quarters, they consistently reported profit margins of over 6%, which shows the company is self-sustaining and can fuel its own growth. Although it has more debt than cash, it still has a strong cash reserve to keep as a safeguard (over $250 million), and they are constantly paying its debt off, which is now at around $700 million from over $770 million in 2022.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<h2><strong>Sunrun (RUN)</strong></h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/run1600-300x169.png" alt="Person holding cellphone with logo of U.S. solar energy company Sunrun Inc. (RUN) on screen in front of business webpage. Focus on phone display."><div>Source: T. Schneider / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p><strong>Sunrun</strong> (NASDAQ:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/run-stock-quote/"><strong>RUN</strong></a></span>) is one of the biggest American companies providing home solar installation. Their primary business model relies on leasing solar panels to American homes, however they also sometimes sell solar panels. The company is increasing accessibility to solar panels, whether from effective cost-cutting or sometimes cutting energy costs of low-income families. </p>



<p>In a very competitive market, Sunrun differentiates itself through dedication to maintenance and customer satisfaction and unique financing options that expand its customer base.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The financials of Sunrun further support the buy thesis behind the company. Despite not being profitable yet, the company most recently reported over $500 million in revenue, which is extremely large for its valuation of just over $2 billion. The company has also steadily grown its cash reserve, nearly tripling to about $800 million in the last three years.&nbsp;</p>
