<h3>Financial Milestones: Canadian Solar's Journey</h3>
Market Capitalization Analysis: Positioned below industry benchmarks, the company's market capitalization faces constraints in size. This could be influenced by factors such as growth expectations or operational capacity.
Negative Revenue Trend: Examining Canadian Solar's financials over 3 months reveals challenges. As of 30 September, 2024, the company experienced a decline of approximately -18.34% in revenue growth, reflecting a decrease in top-line earnings. As compared to competitors, the company encountered difficulties, with a growth rate lower than the average among peers in the Information Technology sector.
Net Margin: Canadian Solar's net margin excels beyond industry benchmarks, reaching -0.93%. This signifies efficient cost management and strong financial health.
Return on Equity (ROE): Canadian Solar's ROE surpasses industry standards, highlighting the company's exceptional financial performance. With an impressive -0.51% ROE, the company effectively utilizes shareholder equity capital.
Return on Assets (ROA): Canadian Solar's financial strength is reflected in its exceptional ROA, which exceeds industry averages. With a remarkable ROA of -0.11%, the company showcases efficient use of assets and strong financial health.
Debt Management: Canadian Solar's debt-to-equity ratio stands notably higher than the industry average, reaching 2.08. This indicates a heavier reliance on borrowed funds, raising concerns about financial leverage.

What 5 Analyst Ratings Have To Say About Canadian Solar

Wells Fargo analyst Michael Blum maintains Canadian Solar (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSIQ#NASDAQ">CSIQ</a>) with a Equal-Weight and lowers the price target from $13 to $10.

Canadian Solar Announced That E-storage, Which Is Part Of The Company's Majority-owned Subsidiary CSI Solar Co., Ltd., Has Signed Contracts With Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, Through Its Flagship Fund CI IV

Goldman Sachs analyst Brian Lee revised ratings for key residential solar stocks. The analyst notes there is a disconnect between the mid-to-long-term fundamentals and valuations for solar/storage equities heading into 2025.
Solar equities appear to be overpricing risks tied to policy uncertainty, even though secular growth drivers, such as U.S. power demand and pricing, remain strong.
SEDG: The analyst upgraded SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEDG#NASDAQ">SEDG</a>) rating to Buy from Sell and raised the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SEDG/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target to $19 (from $10 prior)</a>.
After a challenging period, including a tough U.S. residential solar market and weaker European demand, the analyst notes estimates have bottomed, and concerns about SEDG&#8217;s $350 million debt in 2025 are overstated.
SEDG&#8217;s recent cost-cutting measures, including headcount and facility reductions, strengthen the outlook, adds the analyst.
Lee says that while the call may be early, he sees a turnaround as the company benefits from improved cost control and a better product mix.
The analyst sees FY25 as a key inflection point, with growth likely accelerating in FY26.
The analyst estimates negative EPS for FY25 but expects a positive fourth-quarter FY25 and strong growth in FY26. The EPS estimate of $1.64 for FY26 is well above the consensus of $0.55, adds the analyst.
CSIQ: Meanwhile, Lee downgraded Canadian Solar Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSIQ#NASDAQ">CSIQ</a>) to Sell from Neutral and cut the<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/csiq/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener"> price target to $11 (from $14 prior)</a>.
The analyst&#8217;s negative outlook stems from policy risks under the Trump administration and tariffs on solar imports from Southeast Asia.
As a major foreign supplier of solar panels to the U.S., CSIQ is highly exposed to these risks, which will impact its margins, especially given the U.S. has been one of the more profitable markets recently, says the analyst.
The analyst also sees consensus estimates as overly optimistic, with the 2025-2026 EBITDA projections 35% &#8211; 40% below the Street&#8217;s, as recent policy changes and the uncertain outlook are not fully reflected in market expectations.
The analyst says 2024-2025 EBITDA estimates remain largely unchanged, while the 2026 estimate is revised down by 6% to $688 million due to a bleak outlook.
Price Action: SEDG shares are up 23.3% at $15.19, while CSIQ shares are up 0.86% at $11.76 at the last check Tuesday.

Canadian Solar Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSIQ#NASDAQ">CSIQ</a>) shares are trading lower after the company <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/n42334375/canadian-solar-reports-third-quarter-2024-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported third-quarter 2024</a> results below street expectations.
The company reported an 18% year-over-year revenue decline to $1.51 billion, missing the consensus estimate of $1.71 billion. The decline reflects lower module ASPs and reduced project sales, partially offset by increased sales of battery energy storage solutions and higher solar module shipment volumes.
The gross margin declined 20% YoY to $247.44 million and 30 bps to 16.4%. Lower module ASPs, partially offset by reduced manufacturing costs and stronger margins from battery storage sales, drove the decline.
Total module shipments recognized as revenue in Q3 reached 8.4 GW, increasing 2% sequentially and 1% YoY. This total includes 31 MW delivered to the company&#8217;s utility-scale solar projects.
EPS for the quarter was a 31 cents loss, down from an income of 33 cents a year ago, missing the analyst consensus of 12 cents loss.
Operating cash outflow for the quarter was $230.97 million, compared to $429.34 million in the second quarter and down from $157.89 million inflow in the third quarter of 2023.
As of November 30, CSIQ had a $3.2 billion e-STORAGE contracted backlog. As of September 30, 2024, Recurrent Energy&#8217;s total solar project development pipeline was 26.4 GWp, including 1.7 GWp under construction, 4.8 GWp of backlog, and 19.9 GWp of projects in advanced and early-stage pipelines.
&#8220;The solar industry faces significant external and internal challenges. While we have achieved relatively strong results, the outlook remains complex. We are currently operating at an optimal scale with industry-leading technologies, and we remain committed to investing in R&amp;D to ensure that we remain at the forefront of innovation across our portfolio of products and solutions,&#8221; commented Dr. Shawn Qu, Chairman and CEO.
Yan Zhuang, President of Canadian Solar&#8217;s subsidiary CSI Solar, commented, &#8220;In energy storage, e-STORAGE recorded robust growth, reaching a record 4.4 GWh in shipments over the first three quarters of the year. At the same time, we are solidifying our market presence in established regions such as the U.S., Canada, and the UK, while expanding into emerging markets, exemplified by our inaugural project contract in Chile.&#8221;
&#8220;We ended the quarter with a strong cash position of $2.8 billion, which we will strategically deploy to support our long-term growth plans and strengthen our financial position, as we continue to navigate industry challenges,&#8221; commented Xinbo Zhu, Senior VP and CFO.
Q4 Outlook: Canadian Solar expects total revenue of $1.5 billion—$1.7 billion, versus a consensus estimate of $2.17 billion, and anticipates a gross margin of 16 – 18%.
The company expects total module shipments recognized as revenues by CSI Solar to be 8.0&nbsp;GW to 8.5 GW. CSI Solar expects battery storage shipments of 2.0&nbsp;GWh to 2.4&nbsp;GWh, including 1.2 GWh for its projects.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
2025 Outlook: CSIQ expects total module shipments to be 30 GW to 35 GW and CSI Solar&#8217;s total battery energy storage shipments in the range of 11&nbsp;GWh to 13&nbsp;GWh, including approximately 1&nbsp;GW and 1&nbsp;GWh, respectively, to the company&#8217;s projects.
Price Action: CSIQ shares traded lower by 5.47% at $11.41 at the last check on Thursday.
