Read MoreHide Full Article

Let’s see how things are shaping up for this announcement.
What do the Estimates Say?
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s first-quarter sales is currently pegged at $1,147 million, which suggests a rise of 347.9% from the year-ago quarter’s tally.
Some Factors at Play
Daqo New Energy is likely to have benefited from higher average selling prices and its actions to improve its cost structure in the to-be-reported quarter. The company is also expected to have gained from its energy efficiency efforts and enhanced manufacturing efficiencies.
Polysilicon prices are likely to have been driven, in the first quarter, by strong demand for solar energy products. Higher prices are expected to have boosted the company’s sales and margins in the quarter. The company is also expected to have gained from lower production costs in the March quarter, aided by improved operational efficiency in its newly-built Phase 4B facility and lower silicon powder prices.
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for Daqo New Energy this season. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the chances of an earnings beat. But that’s not the case here.
