Oppenheimer sees upside in $ENPH to $133

$ENPH is trading up at writing because Oppenheimer analysts raised their rating on the Nasdaq-listed firm to “outperform” following its earnings print as well.

Their $133 price target suggests another 11% upside on top of today’s rally. Oppenheimer experts are convinced the downside is now fully priced into Enphase Energy stock and a “beatable baseline: on sales and margin are being established”.

They are bullish on $ENPH also because it is “delivering on product enhancements that drive performance cost reductions”.
