Why Enphase Energy Stock Was Down Over 2% Today

Shares of Enphase Energy (NASDAQ: ENPH) were down 2.7% today as of 11:45 a.m. ET. The stock market overall was thrown into another tizzy after social media company Snap (NYSE: SNAP) warned that it would grow below its previously stated year-over-year revenue growth guidance of 20% to 25% -- citing a myriad of macroeconomic and geopolitical challenges. The S&P 500 was down 2.1%, and the Nasdaq Composite was down 3.3%.
