Canadian Solar reports Q2 adjusted EPS (53c) vs. 2c last year

Reports Q2 revenue $1.73B, consensus $1.9B. Shawn Qu, chairman and CEO, commented, “We delivered a second quarter largely in line with expectations. While revenue came in below guidance due to storage shipments shifting to the second half and delays in certain project sales, gross margin exceeded expectations, driven by a higher mix of North America module shipments and robust storage volumes. Following the surge in installations in China during the first half, we expect demand to normalize as the market adjusts to a new paradigm. We remain focused on navigating the uncertain policy environment with a focus on risk management and sustainable profitability.”
