SunPower, a solar technology company, will present its Q2’25 results via webcast on July 22. Preliminary data shows revenue at $67.5 million with a gross profit of $28.8 million. Operating expenses were reduced by $4.6 million. CEO T.J. Rodgers expects a revenue increase in Q3’25 and announced the departure of CFO Dan Foley.
Despite a drop in revenue to $67.5 million, SunPower remained profitable in Q2’25 with an operating profit of $2.42 million. The company made significant cost-cutting efforts, reducing operating expenses by $4.6 million. SunPower’s headcount is now at 861 employees, each receiving a stock bonus for excellent performance.
SunPower signed an agreement to collect all Old SunPower New Homes’ accounts receivable, resolving an AR controversy. The company joined the Russell 3000 and Russell Microcap Indices to expand shareholder base and increase stock liquidity. A low-cost finance center in India was established to automate business processes.
CFO Dan Foley is leaving SunPower after completing the establishment of a low-cost finance center in India. Jeanne Nguyen, the Chief Accounting Officer, will serve as the interim CFO. The company forecasts increased revenue and operating profit for Q3’25 compared to Q2’25. Dan Foley has been thanked for his work during the acquisition of SunPower, a company 10 times the size of the acquiring company. Chais Sweat has left SunPower, and Nicolas Wenker has joined as the new CLO with extensive legal experience. Dan McCranie has become the EVP of sales for the consolidated sales force.
Despite the company’s lean efficiency and profitability, the stock price remains low. The “price to sales ratio” is at 0.54x, while comparable tech stocks average 2.5x. The solar industry’s recent challenges have impacted stock prices, with even the leader SunRun recovering to 1.0x. SPWR is lagging at 0.54x despite good financial performance.
Following a profitable quarter after a merger, the company’s shares lost momentum due to ITC announcements and aggressive risk factor presentation. However, profitability is becoming stable, with plans for acquisitions to grow organically and achieve sustainable scale. The company is working towards a third consecutive profitable quarter in Q3’25.
Bad reporting by stock services has affected the company’s image, with negative headlines painting a misleading picture. Forward-looking statements highlight risks and uncertainties facing the company, including integration challenges and global market conditions. Investors are urged to consider these factors when evaluating the company’s performance. SunPower released preliminary unaudited financial results for Q2’25, subject to finalization. Non-GAAP metrics were provided in addition to GAAP measures, showing a non-GAAP net income of $2,418. The reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures for Q2’25 includes operating income, depreciation, stock-based compensation, and restructuring charges. Investors are encouraged to consider both GAAP and non-GAAP results for a full understanding. 1.
