In other recent news, Canadian Solar Inc. reported its fourth-quarter 2024 earnings, revealing a significant shortfall in earnings per share (EPS) compared to analyst forecasts. The company posted an actual EPS of -$1.47, while the expected EPS was -$0.03. However, Canadian Solar’s revenue for the quarter surpassed expectations, reaching $1.67 billion against a forecast of $1.64 billion. The company also launched its SolBank 3.0 energy storage solution and expanded its U.S. manufacturing facilities. In related developments, Oppenheimer adjusted its financial outlook for Canadian Solar, reducing the price target from $25.00 to $23.00 but maintaining an Outperform rating on the stock. This revision was influenced by a significant decrease in solar module spot prices and ongoing uncertainties in U.S. policies. Despite these challenges, Canadian Solar’s strategic investments and expansion efforts, particularly in energy storage, are seen as potential growth drivers. The company’s equity stake in Recurrent Energy, recently valued at $2 billion in a transaction with BlackRock (NYSE:BLK), further underscores its strategic positioning in the market.
