On January 13, 2026, Canadian Solar Inc. closed its previously announced private offering of US$230 million aggregate principal amount of 3.25% convertible senior notes due 2031, including the full exercise of an option by initial purchasers to buy an additional US$30 million. The transaction, sold to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A, generated approximately US$223.1 million in net proceeds after discounts and expenses, strengthening the company’s funding base as it continues to expand its global solar and battery energy storage manufacturing and project development activities, and potentially supporting its long-term strategy as an owner and operator of clean energy assets.

On January 9, 2026, Canadian Solar priced a private offering of US$200 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2031 to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A, with an option for initial purchasers to buy up to an additional US$30 million, and expects to close the transaction around January 13, 2026, subject to customary conditions. The company plans to use the roughly US$194.6 million in estimated net proceeds to fund U.S. manufacturing investments and expand its battery energy storage and solar value chain, as well as for working capital and general corporate purposes, underscoring its push to deepen its North American manufacturing footprint and strengthen its position across the solar and storage supply chain; the notes will carry a 3.25% coupon, mature in 2031, be convertible at a premium to the latest share price, and include standard redemption and repurchase features that balance financing flexibility for the company with downside protection for noteholders.

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.
