Sunrun Inc. (RUN)

Over the past six months, Sunrun's stock has experienced movements influenced by company-specific news and sector trends. The stock price was $12.83 as of May 6, 2026, representing a 73.61% increase over the past year, but a 30.27% decrease year-to-date in 2026. Key events include a $584 million securitization in April 2026, the Q1 2026 earnings report, analyst revisions, insider selling, and the Q4 2025 financial results. Despite beating analyst expectations in Q1 2026, the stock fell due to investor concerns about declining subscriber additions and a fall in solar and battery capacity additions.

Demand seasonality for Sunrun's products and services is influenced by variations in solar production and energy usage throughout the year. Peak solar production typically occurs during summer, but increased air conditioning usage can reduce potential solar savings. The company's full-year 2026 cash generation guidance is weighted towards the second half of the year due to seasonality and the timing of project finance transactions.
