Theme: Solar power, CEO conviction, Wall Street titans loading up. ⚡🐂


🔌 The Spark

Enphase Energy’s CEO, Badrinarayanan Kothandaraman, has been swiping his corporate card like a kid in a candy store — except the candy is Enphase stock. Multiple buys over the last two years, including:

  • Aug-06-2025: 5,000 shares @ $30.82 (≈ $154K)

  • Apr-25-2025: 4,000 shares @ $46.35 (≈ $185K)

  • Nov-19-2024: 5,000 shares @ $61.75 (≈ $309K)

  • … and the list goes on.

📝 CFO and directors have joined the party, though not all insiders resisted selling when the price was high (who can blame them?).

🎯 Funanc1al Take

Enphase is the comeback kid of solar — bruised but far from broken. The CEO’s shopping spree plus fat institutional stakes make it hard to ignore.

If you buy: Start small ☕, add as the chart confirms a base.
If you hold: Breathe — the patient has a pulse.
