"Enphase Energy Rides Demand Rebound, Stock Surges Despite Earnings Miss"

Enphase Energy's stock surges despite missing fourth-quarter earnings estimates, as CEO Badri Kothandaraman expresses optimism for a rebound in demand and a potential turnaround in the first quarter, citing expectations for increased demand in Europe and a more favorable rate environment outside of states like California. The company's sensitivity to interest rates has contributed to a choppy ride for its stock, which has declined more than 50% over the past year, but the CEO remains hopeful for improved performance moving forward.
