After Weak Month, Could SunPower Stock Make A Comeback?

SunPower Corporation stock (NASDAQ: SPWR) is down 13% in the past month (21 trading days), underperforming the S&P 500 which was roughly unchanged over this period. If you look at the change over the last five days, too, the stock has returned -5.7%, underperforming the broader market again. SunPower had reported mixed Q3 ’21 earnings in early November, with revenue rising from $275 million in Q3 ’20 to $324 million in Q3 ’21. Further, COGS and operating expenses rose at a slower rate and operating income came in at $6.2 million for Q3 ’21, up from an operating loss of $2.1 million in Q3 ’20. However, a rise in non-operating expenses meant that the company reported a net loss for the period of $84 million, and EPS came in at -$0.49, down from $0.26 for the same period last year. Combined with the threat of rising interest rates in the near future, the stock shed almost 15% over the past month.
