SolarEdge Options Market Braces for 13% Swing on Nov. 4 Earnings
SolarEdge Technologies (NASDAQ:SEDG) shares could see a significant price swing following its upcoming earnings report, with the options market pricing in a potential move of 13% in either direction. The company is scheduled to release its financial results on November 4, before the market opens.
Options Market Signals Volatility
The anticipated 13% move is derived from options data compiled by Bloomberg and reflects traders' expectations for volatility surrounding the earnings announcement. This figure, known as the implied move, is calculated based on the price of options contracts and serves as a market-based gauge for how much a stock might fluctuate post-release.
A History of Sharp Earnings Reactions
An analysis of SolarEdge's past performance reveals a track record of sharp reactions to its quarterly reports. The stock's actual post-earnings move has exceeded the options-implied swing in two of the last eight announcements, highlighting the potential for significant surprises for investors.
AdKey historical moves include:
- Aug. 5, 2026: Fell 15.4% (vs. 9.9% implied)
- May 6, 2026: Fell 8.3% (vs. 12.9% implied)
- Feb. 19, 2025: Jumped 46.8% (vs. 16.4% implied)
- Nov. 6, 2024: Fell 11.3% (vs. 20.3% implied)
The most notable deviation occurred on February 19, 2025, when the stock surged nearly 47%, far outpacing the 16.4% implied move. More recently, after its August 5 report, the stock dropped over 15%, also exceeding market expectations. This history suggests that while the options market provides a baseline, a wide range of outcomes is possible.
