Canadian Solar Inc. (NASDAQ: CSIQ) reported disappointing second-quarter 2025 results, falling short of Wall Street expectations on both earnings and revenue, sending its shares tumbling by more than 15% in early trading on Monday.
The solar manufacturer posted an adjusted loss of $0.53 per share, compared with analyst forecasts that ranged between a profit of $0.76 and $1.48 per share.
The results marked a sharp earnings miss, highlighting ongoing challenges in the solar supply chain and pricing environment.
Revenue for the quarter came in at $1.69 billion, well below consensus estimates of $1.90–$1.93 billion.
While sales were higher compared with the same quarter last year, the shortfall relative to market expectations raised concerns about the company’s growth trajectory.
The market reaction was swift. Canadian Solar stock dropped between 15% and 18% following the announcement, erasing recent gains and underscoring investor unease.
Industry analysts pointed to a combination of factors weighing on results, including global oversupply of solar modules, pricing pressure, and uncertainty tied to trade tariffs.
“This quarter reflects the dual challenge of weaker demand visibility and intense competition,” one analyst noted.
The company also trimmed its full-year revenue outlook, signaling a more cautious stance on market conditions ahead.
Canadian Solar remains one of the world’s leading solar technology and renewable energy companies, with operations spanning module manufacturing and large-scale project development.
However, the latest earnings miss highlights the volatility facing the solar industry despite long-term growth prospects tied to clean energy adoption.
