Bulls say / Bears say
Energy storage is a strong growth engine: Q2 shipments rose 73% year on year to 3.7 GWh, while e-STORAGE had a $3.5 billion contracted backlog, including 34 GWh covered by long-term service agreements. (Canadian Solar, Energy-Storage.News)
The Indiana cell factory could give Canadian Solar a stronger US manufacturing position: it has opened the first phase of the plant, and management reported more than 13 GW of US module backlog worth over $4.5 billion, with deliveries scheduled through 2029. (Reuters, The Motley Fool)
Recurrent Energy has shown it can advance and sell down storage projects: it agreed to sell two advanced French projects totalling 200 MW/800 MWh, while continuing to lead their development to the next stage. (Canadian Solar)
Solar remains a weak spot: Q2 module shipments recognised as revenue fell 60% year on year and total revenue declined 29%; CSI Solar's Q3 report later showed revenue down 42.6%, citing competition, lower prices and weaker solar shipments. (Canadian Solar, Stock Titan)
Profitability has weakened sharply: Q2 gross margin was 13.9%, down from 29.8% a year earlier, and Canadian Solar reported a $77 million net loss attributable to shareholders. (Canadian Solar)
The investment programme is putting pressure on funding: debt, including financing liabilities, rose to $7.1 billion, Q2 operating cash flow was negative $181 million, and planned 2026 capital expenditure is about $1.3 billion. (Canadian Solar)
