Canadian Solar Inc. (CSIQ - Free Report) is slated to report second-quarter 2023 results on Aug 22, before the opening bell.
In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 147.92%. The company delivered a trailing four-quarter average earnings surprise of 106.28%.
Factors to Note
Solid module shipment driven by pent-up demand from customers across nearly all channels and regions is likely to have boosted Canadian Solar’s second-quarter top-line performance.
Notable project sales that result in significant project monetization, particularly in the United States, can also be expected to have contributed favorably to CSIQ’s revenues in the soon-to-be-reported quarter.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $2.50 billion, indicating an 8.1% increase from the year-ago quarter’s level.
Declining input costs, owing to lowering polysilicon prices, along with reducing processing costs for the company are likely to have bolstered its second-quarter earnings. Declining shipping costs and stable logistics costs, a trend witnessed in recent times, might have also aided CSIQ’s bottom-line performance.
However, foreign exchange fluctuation and lower average selling price for solar module might have had some adverse impact on the company’s overall earnings in the soon-to-be-reported quarter.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter earnings is pegged at $1.52 per share, indicating a 42.1% improvement from the year-ago quarter’s figure.
