Sunrun Set to Post Q2 Earnings: Here's What You Need to Know

Sunrun Inc. RUN is scheduled to release second-quarter 2025 results on Aug. 6, after market close. 

The company reported earnings of 20 cents per share in the last reported quarter, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 22 cents. Sunrun has a four-quarter average earnings surprise of 248.36%. Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to be reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.

Factors at Play

Solid sales volume for solar energy systems and products, backed by steadily growing solar demand, must have boosted Sunrun’s second-quarter top-line performance. 

A growing customer base, along with an increase in storage attachment rates, is also likely to have favorably contributed to RUN’s revenues in the soon-to-be-reported quarter.

Such solid revenue growth must have also bolstered the company’s second-quarter earnings. However, increased expenses due to higher battery hardware and associated installation labor costs from the storage attachment rate increase are likely to have hurt its overall bottom-line performance.

Q2 Expectations

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for sales is pegged at $557.2 million, which suggests an improvement of 6.4% from the year-ago reported number.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at a loss of 18 cents per share, which implies a deterioration from earnings of 55 cents a year ago.
