Sunrun Inc. designs, develops, installs, sells, owns, and maintains residential solar energy systems in the United States. It also sells solar energy systems and products, such as panels and racking; and solar leads generated to customers. In addition, the company offers battery storage along with solar energy systems; and sells services to commercial developers through multi-family and new homes. Its primary customers are residential homeowners. The company markets and sells its products through direct-to-consumer approach across online, retail, mass media, digital media, canvassing, field marketing, and referral channels, as well as its partner network. Sunrun Inc. was founded in 2007 and is headquartered in San Francisco, California.

Sunrun appears to be a company with a notable improvement in operating efficiency, but it still carries a high debt burden and limited financial cushion. In terms of valuation multiples, the stock looks cheap: P/E of 5.66, P/S of 0.65, and P/B of 0.46 are all significantly below the industry median, which usually supports the case for undervaluation. At the same time, P/FCF is zero, so free cash flow is either unstable or not a reliable basis for valuation, which limits confidence in the stock’s “cheapness” relative to the market. Profitability is generally decent: gross margin of 35.27% is above the industry, net margin of 11.62% is also strong, and net income and EBITDA remain positive and in recent periods look more stable than in the weaker quarters of the past. However, operating margin of 2.65% remains low relative to the sector, indicating that the business is still sensitive to costs and financing. ROE, ROA, and ROI are below industry benchmarks, so the quality of returns on capital does not yet look outstanding, despite profitability on the bottom line. The balance sheet remains the main risk: debt/equity of 3.44 and long-term debt of $14.67 billion, combined with relatively moderate liquidity, point to a high financial burden. Current and quick ratios of around 1.45 and 1.00 look acceptable, but they do not provide a large buffer in the event of a market downturn or rising interest rates. Revenue and assets are growing, and shareholders’ equity is increasing, which supports the thesis of a gradual strengthening of the business scale. There are no dividends, so investors receive no defensive income and are fully dependent on revaluation and fundamental improvement. Overall, the picture is moderately positive from a valuation standpoint due to low multiples and improving earnings, but it is constrained by high debt, weak operating margin, and the absence of cash flow as a reliable anchor. For a target price, this implies a cautious downward revision rather than a sharp re-rating, since the fundamentals provide arguments both for undervaluation and for elevated risk.

While investors closely watch year-over-year changes in headline numbers -- revenue and earnings -- and how they compare to Wall Street expectations to determine their next course of action, some key metrics always provide a better insight into a company's underlying performance.
Since these metrics play a crucial role in driving the top- and bottom-line numbers, comparing them with the year-ago numbers and what analysts estimated about them helps investors better project a stock's price performance.
Here is how Sunrun performed in the just reported quarter in terms of the metrics most widely monitored and projected by Wall Street analysts:
Storage Capacity Installed: 332.00 Mwh versus the two-analyst average estimate of 358.88 Mwh.

Gross Profit- Customer Agreements and Incentives: $201.28 million versus the four-analyst average estimate of $124.93 million.
Shares of Sunrun have returned -9.6% over the past month versus the Zacks S&P 500 composite's +3.5% change. The stock currently has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell), indicating that it could underperform the broader market in the near term.

Enphase Energy Q2 Earnings Match Estimates, Revenues Decline Y/Y

Tesla Q2 Earnings
Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock Tesla (TSLA) will report earnings on second quarter earnings results on Wednesday, July 22, after the equity market close. Zacks Consensus Analyst Estimates predict that Tesla will earn $0.50 for Q2, up from the $0.41 the company earning in Q1.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Tesla’s Recent EPS History
Tesla’s recent earnings track record has been spotty to say the least. The EV maker has missed Zacks Consensus Estimates in 6 of the past 10 quarters.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Nevertheless, Tesla is exhibiting some recent signs of a turn around. Over the past two quarters Tesla has beaten Wall Street estimates by double digits and has an average EPS surprise of 5.48% over the past four.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
TSLA Implied Post-EPS Move
The options market is currently pricing in a rather subdued post-EPS move of +/- $24 or 6%.
The Legacy EV Business: Volume vs. Margins
Although most investors own Tesla shares because they are betting on future products such as the Optimus humanoid robot and robotaxi, it’s electric vehicle business still comprises the lion’s share (~85%) of its total revenues. Last month, Tesla delivered a spectacular deliver beat when it reported ~480k vehicles for Q2. The 480K delivery number trounced Wall Street estimates of 406k and represented a 25% year-over-year increase.
However, it’s important that investors do not view the delivery number in a vacuum. Amid a sunsetting of the federal EV tax credits and a slowing EV market Tesla has offered generous promotional financing and has slashed prices in key markets such as China and Europe. The question for investors is “Will increased EV sales volumes supersede incentives or will deep discounts erode profit margins?”
Tesla Energy
Tesla’s Energy business continues to be a consistent bright spot for the company. Deployments soared 40% year-over-year. Meanwhile, Tesla is expanding its energy business. SunRun (RUN) and TSLA announced a 16GW distributed energy pact targeting utilities and data center operators. Additionally, Tesla brough the largest lithium refinery in the U.S. online earlier this year. While growth will likely continue, investors will be watching to see if CAPEX stabilizes in this segment.
Future Product Timelines
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has a reputation for setting extremely aggressive (and sometimes unrealistic) timelines. While these optimistic timelines can lead to increased productivity, they have been a thorn in the side of Wall Street investors, who are often hyper focused on quarterly results as opposed to long-term results. As a result, investors will want to see progress on Tesla’s Robotaxi & Cybercab commercialization, its FSD adoption rates, and Optimus and AI Compute expansion.
Bottom Line
Tesla’s Q2 EPS will answer important questions about the company’s legacy EV business, energy growth, and future product timelines. If strong delivery volumes can offset incentives and Elon Musk delivers tangible updates on autonomous tech, Tesla shares could finally get the spark they need.

Tesla Q2 EPS Preview: Can Earnings Electrify the Stock?

Sunrun (RUN) shares ended the last trading session 12.6% higher at $14.42. The jump came on an impressive volume with a higher-than-average number of shares changing hands in the session. This compares to the stock's 12.6% loss over the past four weeks.
Sunrun stock skyrocketed after the company announced a partnership with Tesla and Renew Home to create a massive virtual power plant network capable of delivering more than 16 GW of flexible electricity capacity. The initiative will aggregate residential batteries, solar systems, and connected home devices to help utilities and data centers meet rising electricity demand, particularly from AI-driven infrastructure.
The deal strengthens RUN’s position as a distributed energy platform rather than just a residential solar installer. By leveraging its growing fleet of home batteries to provide grid services, the company can unlock new recurring revenue opportunities.
This solar energy products distributor is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.10 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -90.7%. Revenues are expected to be $727.75 million, up 27.8% from the year-ago quarter.
Earnings and revenue growth expectations certainly give a good sense of the potential strength in a stock, but empirical research shows that trends in earnings estimate revisions are strongly correlated with near-term stock price movements.
For Sunrun, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. And a stock's price usually doesn't keep moving higher in the absence of any trend in earnings estimate revisions. So, make sure to keep an eye on RUN going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
The stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>>
Sunrun is a member of the Zacks Solar industry. One other stock in the same industry, Enphase Energy (ENPH), finished the last trading session 1.3% higher at $47.82. ENPH has returned -29.4% over the past month.
For Enphase Energy, the consensus EPS estimate for the upcoming report has remained unchanged over the past month at $0.46. This represents a change of -33.3% from what the company reported a year ago. Enphase Energy currently has a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).

Sunrun (RUN) Soars 12.6%: Is Further Upside Left in the Stock?

Sunrun (NASDAQ:RUN), a residential solar and battery subscription services provider, closed at $14.41, up 12.53%. Sunrun rose after announcing a framework agreement with Tesla and Renew Home to aggregate more than 16 gigawatts of flexible residential energy capacity for data centers and utilities. Investors are watching to see whether that power deal translates into measurable revenue and contract growth. Trading volume reached 52.6M shares, coming in about 482% above its three-month average of 9.0M shares. Sunrun IPO'd in 2015 and has grown 34% since going public.
How the markets moved today
The S&P 500 fell 0.08% to 7,360, while the Nasdaq Composite declined 0.43% to 25,477. Among residential solar energy and home battery storage services rivals, Enphase Energy rose 1.26% to $47.81, while SolarEdge Technologies fell 4.79% to $49.85, underscoring a mixed session for the group.
What this means for investors
Sunrun shares popped 13% today thanks to a promising deal between it, Tesla, and Renew Home to potentially deliver 16 Gigawatts of flexible power to data center customers already facing a power supply shortage. The deal would aggregate power from millions of companies’ solar, battery, and thermostat devices across the U.S. and deliver it as “capacity-as-a-solution” to hyperscaler customers -- all without requiring additional products or upgrades for homeowners.
Over time, this partnership could create “the largest distributed power plant in the country,” adding capacity, flexibility, and resilience to an already-stressed, largely outdated power grid. With 25% of Sunrun’s shares held short, I think it will be an interesting, albeit highly volatile, stock to watch going forward following this deal.

Company snapshot
Sunrun offers residential solar energy systems, battery storage solutions, and related products, with revenue generated from system sales, installations, and ongoing maintenance services.
It operates a direct-to-consumer business model, earning income from both outright sales and long-term energy agreements with homeowners, as well as selling solar leads and products.
The company targets residential homeowners in the United States as its primary customer base, leveraging multiple sales channels including online, retail, and partner networks.
Sunrun is a leading provider of residential solar and battery storage solutions in the United States, with over 11,000 employees and a national footprint.
The company scales its operations through a combination of direct sales and strategic partnerships, focusing on recurring revenue from long-term service agreements. Sunrun's integrated approach to solar and storage positions it competitively within the rapidly expanding renewable energy sector.
What this transaction means for investors
The June 1 sale of 50,000 Sunrun shares continues a trend exhibited by the company’s co-founder and Co-Executive Chair Lynn Jurich. She has made multiple stock sales at this level.
The disposition came at a time when Sunrun shares were well below their 52-week high of $22.44 reached last year. Even so, Jurich’s sale is not a signal for investor concern. It was a non-discretionary transaction performed as part of a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, adopted in June of 2025. Such plans are often implemented by insiders to avoid accusations of trading based on insider information.
Sunrun stock is down because it issued an outlook for 2026 that disappointed investors. However, the company produced revenue of $722.2 million, up from the prior year’s $504.3 million, in the first quarter.
Sunrun is also trying to pay down its massive debt load of about $14 billion. It paid down $92 million of that sum in Q1, although it still has a long way to go before it gets that debt burden under control.

What's Next for Par Petroleum?
While Par Petroleum has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Par Petroleum was favorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to outperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $6.18 on $2.41 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $14.19 on $8.58 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Oil and Gas - Refining and Marketing is currently in the top 2% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
