An update from Canadian Solar ( (CSIQ) ) is now available.

In a Form 6-K filed on January 7, 2026, Canadian Solar reported selected unaudited financial results for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, showing net revenues of $4.38 billion, down slightly from $4.47 billion a year earlier, and a swing to a net loss attributable to the company of $17.8 million from a modest profit of $2.1 million in the prior-year period. While overall gross profit and gross margin improved to $901.8 million and 20.6%, respectively, higher general and administrative expenses, increased interest costs, and losses related to derivatives and foreign exchange weighed on the bottom line, with income before taxes turning negative and net income pressured despite stronger contributions from the Recurrent Energy segment; the filing underscores ongoing margin and financing challenges in a competitive solar and storage market even as the company continues to expand its project development business.

The most recent analyst rating on (CSIQ) stock is a Sell with a $21.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Canadian Solar stock, see the CSIQ Stock Forecast page.

Canadian Solar’s overall stock score reflects significant financial challenges, including declining revenue and high leverage.
