Canadian Solar ( (CSIQ) ) has shared an update.
On November 28 and December 16, 2025, CSI Solar’s board and shareholders approved adjustments to its U.S. business model and related party transactions to comply with the U.S. One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act and preserve access to key advanced manufacturing and clean energy tax credits. To implement this, CSI Solar structured a mix of equity transfers and long-term leases involving U.S. and Thai manufacturing assets between its subsidiaries and joint ventures with controlling shareholder CSIQ, aiming to secure stable, low-risk returns while maintaining operational eligibility for incentives.
By December 31, 2025, four long-term lease agreements covering module and cell plants, facilities and equipment in Texas, Indiana and Thailand had been executed, with one additional lease still pending. On February 8, 2026, CSI Solar’s independent directors and board approved the principal terms of these related-party leases, which are significant in size but fall short of a major asset restructuring, and the company will now seek final confirmation from shareholders, with related parties abstaining from the vote in line with Chinese securities rules.
The most recent analyst rating on (CSIQ) stock is a Sell with a $20.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Canadian Solar stock, see the CSIQ Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on CSIQ Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, CSIQ is a Neutral.
The score is held back primarily by weak financial performance (sharp revenue decline, high leverage, and negative operating/free cash flow). Technicals also remain bearish with the stock below key moving averages and negative MACD. Offsetting these, the latest earnings call showed strength in energy storage and solid revenue execution, but cash burn, rising debt, and litigation risk keep the overall profile cautious.
