Q2 Guidance: JinkoSolar expects module shipments to range between 20.0 GW and 25.0 GW, reflecting current market demand and order visibility.

2025 Outlook: Module shipments are projected between 85.0 GW and 100.0 GW.

Annual production capacity is expected to reach 120.0 GW for mono wafers, 95.0 GW for solar cells, and 130.0 GW for modules by year-end.

“Prices across the main segments of the solar industrial chain were low in the first quarter. This, combined with disruptions in demand caused by changes in international trade policies, pressured profit margins in each segment of the integrated solar supply chain. Despite this challenging market environment, we fulfilled our delivery commitments to customers and reduced costs through supply chain optimization, adjustments to production and operation plans, and other measures,” commented Mr. Xiande Li, JinkoSolar’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

“Due to a year-over-year decline in shipments to the U.S. market and a continued decline in higher-price overseas orders, our module prices and profitability decreased both year-over-year and sequentially.”

Price Action: JKS stock traded lower by 6.43% at $16.52 at the last check on Tuesday.
