Sunrun Beats Revenue Estimates and Keeps 2026 Cash Generation Outlook
Sunrun reported first-quarter revenue of $722.2 million, above the $659.6 million estimate, and said cash flow from operations was $10.6 million versus expectations for a negative $16.1 million. Revenue rose 43% from a year earlier, while customer agreements and incentives revenue increased 16% to $467.8 million and aggregate subscriber value was $1.1 billion.
Total cost of revenue rose 24% to $502.4 million and operating expenses also increased 24% to $765.7 million. Chief Financial Officer Danny Abajian said cash generation came in below the company’s expectation because certain project finance transaction activity shifted from the first quarter into the second, but Sunrun kept its full-year 2026 cash generation outlook unchanged at $250 million to $450 million, excluding equipment safe harbor investments.
