As I expect the cost of panels to continue slowly dropping, I am avoiding<span class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\"> investing into manufacturers and instead focusing on business models which provide ancillary services. I believe the companies which stand to benefit the most from the widespread adoption of photovoltaics are the ones which can manage to provide value added services to customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\"><span>SunPower Corporation (<span class=\"ticker-hover-wrapper\">NASDAQ:SPWR<\/span>) is a residential solar installer which also provides energy management services. <\/span>After looking over their financials and valuation, I presently rate SunPower as a Hold.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\">Company Background<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\">SunPower is a provider of photovoltaic systems and energy management solutions. The company was founded in 1985 by Richard Swanson, and went public in 2005. In 2020, they spun<span class=\"paywall-full-content no-summary-bullets invisible\"> off the manufacturing portion of their business as Maxeon Solar Technologies. In early 2022, they sold the commercial and industrial portion of their business to Maxeon Solar Technologies. They are headquartered in San Jose, California, and primarily offer their services to residential customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Long-Term Trends<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">In the United States, the solar energy market is expected to experience a CAGR of 16.48% until 2028. Globally, the solar panel market has a projected CAGR of 18% through 2030.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/58059340-16935065654417806.jpg\" alt=\"spwr\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">Retail Cost Of Electricity <span>(SWPR Q2 2023 Supplemental Earnings Slide, Page 7)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">While the retail cost of electricity continues to rise, the levelized cost of energy chart shows that photovoltaics fell below the cost of non-renewables around 2015.

I am not sure how much of this was caused by the portions of the business which were divested away in 2020 and 2022. When looking at it on an annualized basis, they have been experiencing increasing revenue since its low in 2020. In 2013 they had an annual revenue of $2,507.2M. By 2022 that had dropped to $1,741.1M; this represents a total decline of 30.56% at an average annual rate of -3.40%.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/58059340-16934346550540354.png\" alt=\"spwr sunpower revenue\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">SPWR Annual Revenue <span>(By Author)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Their gross margins experienced a significant drop in 2017. This was followed by an even larger drop in 2018. They appear to have renormalized into the high teens and low twenties since then. As of the most recent annual report, gross margins were 20.9%, EBITDA margins were 1.98%, operating margins were -0.01%, and net margins were 3.22%.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/58059340-16934346645771027.png\" alt=\"spwr sunpower margin\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">SPWR Annual Margins <span>(By Author)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Although the dilution is at a fairly stable pace most years, they experienced a significant dilution event in 2019.

They do not pay dividends. Seeking Alpha does not list a forward P\/E, but they do show a trailing P\/E of 17.01x. Unfortunately, their EPS Long-Term CAGR is listed at -4.0%. They currently have a forward EV\/Sales of 0.85x, an EV\/EBITDA of 24.3x, a forward Price\/Sales of 0.69x, a Price\/Book of 2.56x, and a Price\/Cash Flow of 72.65x. Considering their poor cash flow and negative values for long-term EPS growth, I currently view the company as overvalued.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/58059340-16936034555843933.jpg\" alt=\"spwr valuation\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">SPWR Valuation <span>(Seeking Alpha)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Risks<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">SunPower is currently dealing with headwinds which are caused by elevated interest rates. If inflation were to begin going back up, the Fed will likely have to raise rates even further. The company also faces a risk from the possibility of the Fed having to leave rates elevated for a longer period than expected.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">The soft landing the Fed has been aiming for may not materialize. With rates currently elevated, and the bond market inverted, I am operating under the assumption that we will enter into in a minor recession within the next year or so.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Catalysts<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">When rates lower, it will provide a boon for investments into solar. When this happens, the industry may even experience a glut of pent-up demand, which has been delaying their installation plans until the rates come back down.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">The incorporation of cheap storage into our grid will improve the total amount of solar it can efficiently support. I expect that the adoption of iron-air and other new battery types will produce strong tailwinds for the photovoltaic industry.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Conclusions<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Before SunPower spun off their manufacturing division in 2020. I refused to even consider them. The current version of the business is more lean than it used to be and has the potential to evolve into one which might be able to find additional profits through providing value added services to consumers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">As I expect the Fed to leave rates elevated for several more months, SunPower may experience a significant decline in both demand and valuation over the coming quarters. With the long-term demand for solar expected to continue rising, I believe significant enough dips should be viewed as buying opportunities. Even if the company never evolves into a long-term compounder, it should still experience a valuation rebound from any lows it reaches during a recession.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/seekingalpha.com\/article\/4632808-sunpower-stock-headwinds-may-produce-a-buying-opportunity?source=feed_all_articles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thesis With the cost of solar panels now lower than all other forms of energy production, we are witnessing a sea change in how we supply our electric grid.
