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.
