To put this in perspective, let's take a look how <b>SolarEdge Technologies</b> (NASDAQ:SEDG), <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> of Enphase's leading competitors, fared. In 2020, SolarEdge reported sales of about $1.5 billion -- nearly twice that of Enphase -- but operating cash flow of only $223 million, or 15% of revenue.</p><p><img src=\"https://media.ycharts.com/charts/64785ced5e6f76cbd1c637a9437c5335.png\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"387\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Data by YCharts.</p><p>Take into account Enphase's free cash flow and the picture looks even better. In 2020, Enphase generated a company record, $198.9 million in free cash flow, representing 26% of its overall sales -- a steady improvement over the 4% and 20% that it had in 2018 and 2019, respectively, according to <b>Morningstar</b>. How did SolarEdge do in terms of free cash flow as a percentage of sales last year?

Enphase ended 2020 with $330 million in total debt -- but take into account the company's $679 million in cash and cash equivalents, and you'll find the company ended 2020 with a net cash position of $349 million, an extremely advantageous position considering the turmoil that the global pandemic is wreaking on so many other companies.</p><p>Besides providing some reassurance that the company is on solid financial footing, the strong balance sheet affords the company the ability to seek growth through acquisitions without having to rely too heavily on debt. Enphase recently completed two acquisitions, Sofdesk and DIN Engineering -- two deals Enphase says \"are expected to enhance the capabilities of [its] digital platform, enabling [its] installers to simplify the sales process and improve the buying experience for homeowners.\"</p><p>Apparently additional acquisitions are on the company's radar as well. During the Q4 2020 conference call, Eric Branderiz stated that the company's \"acquisition approach is going to be very active.

Changing hands at about 106 times operating cash flow, Enphase's stock is trading at a premium to its five-year average ratio of 75. However, when juxtaposed with that of its leading competitor, SolarEdge, Enphase's valuation seems much more reasonable.
