Analysis

This announcement highlights that Xinjiang Daqo expects a FY2025 net loss of RMB1.0–1.3B, narrower than the RMB2.7B loss in FY2024, under PRC GAAP. Because Daqo New Energy owns about 72.8% of Xinjiang Daqo and derives most revenue and net income from it, subsidiary performance remains central to the story. The estimate is preliminary and subject to closing adjustments, so upcoming full FY2025 and consolidated U.S. GAAP results will be key metrics to watch.

PRC GAAP is the set of accounting rules used by companies operating in the People’s Republic of China to prepare financial statements. It determines how revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities are measured and reported, and can differ from U.S. GAAP or IFRS in ways that change reported profit or asset values—like using a different measuring tape. Investors care because those differences affect comparability, risk assessment and valuation when comparing companies across jurisdictions.
