Enphase Energy Inc (NASDAQ:ENPH) is soaring today, up 18.6% at $119.17 at last look, after news that the company expects strong demand in 2024 starting in the second quarter. In response, Oppenheimer upgraded the shares to "outperform" from "perform," while a slew of other analysts chimed in with price-target adjustments. ENPH's 160-day moving average appears to be keeping a cap on gains today, however. Over the last 12 months, the equity is down roughly 48%.
Snap Inc (NYSE:SNAP) is on track for its worst day since July 2022 after the social media name's fourth-quarter revenue missed estimates. Down 34.2% at $11.48 at last glance, SNAP looks likely to mark its seventh-straight post-earnings loss. Today's drop has the equity slipping into negative territory over the last 12 months and since the start of 2024.
