Shoals: Demand Outpaces Execution, Creating An Entry Point

Shoals Technologies is rated a moderate Buy, balancing strong demand and order growth against margin and cash flow execution risks. Q2 revenue grew 47% with a record $801M backlog, but gross margin dropped to 30.3%, and H1 operating cash flow was negative $34.6M. SHLS's medium-term upside depends on new factory-driven margin recovery and converting record demand into sustainable profits and cash flow.
