Here is how the firm did:

- Profits: $725 million vs. $768 million envisioned by LSEG
For its coming fourth quarter, the solar producer noted anticipated profits of amongst $300 million to $350 million. For the all round photo voltaic sector, it expects income to be between $275 million and $320 million.
SolarEdge CEO Zvi Lando reported in a Wednesday statement that the third-quarter disappointment is a reflection of “a slow market place atmosphere, which has resulted in large inventory of our solutions in the distribution channels—in certain in Europe.”
SolarEdge warned Wall Street in October that its third-quarter earnings would come in underneath anticipations, which sent its inventory plummeting 30 percent.
