Rhea-AI Filing Summary

JinkoSolar reported a sharp downturn in profitability for 2025 despite leading global shipments. Full-year revenues were RMB65.50 billion (US$9.37 billion), down 29.0% year-over-year, while gross margin fell to 2.2% from 10.9% in 2024.

The company swung to a net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of RMB4.45 billion (US$635.6 million) from net income of RMB54.5 million in 2024. Adjusted net result also deteriorated to a loss of RMB3.14 billion versus adjusted net income of RMB521.9 million a year earlier.

In Q4 2025, revenues were RMB17.51 billion (US$2.50 billion) with gross margin of 0.3% and a net loss of RMB1.50 billion (US$214.5 million). Management cited lower module selling prices, higher unit costs, asset impairments and currency swings, while highlighting 86 GW of 2025 module shipments, leadership in N-type TOPCon technology and guidance for 2026 module shipments of 75–85 GW and more than doubled energy storage shipments.

Positive

  • None.

Negative

  • Profitability and balance sheet weakened materially: 2025 revenue fell 29.0% while gross margin dropped to 2.2%, driving a net loss of RMB4.45 billion and higher net interest expense alongside increased interest-bearing debt.

Insights

Margins collapsed and leverage rose, turning JinkoSolar’s 2025 into a deeply loss-making year.

JinkoSolar saw 2025 revenue drop to RMB65.50 billion, with gross margin compressing to 2.2% from 10.9% in 2024. This drove a net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of RMB4.45 billion, versus a small profit previously, indicating severe pricing pressure and cost headwinds.

Loss from operations widened to RMB8.91 billion and net interest expenses rose to RMB856.0 million, while total interest-bearing debt increased to RMB47.01 billion as of December 31 2025. Asset impairments and weaker subsidy and FX income further eroded results, partly offset by a sizeable income tax benefit.

Operationally, the company still shipped 86.06 GW of modules in 2025, remaining an industry leader, and is guiding 2026 module shipments of 75–85 GW with energy storage system shipments expected to more than double. Future filings may clarify whether pricing, costs and leverage trends stabilize enough to restore sustainable margins.

2026 module shipment guidance 75–85 GW Company estimate for full year 2026
N-type TOPCon technical
"Our N-type TOPCon-based perovskite tandem solar cell achieved a new conversion efficiency record"
n-type TOPCon is a solar cell technology that uses an n-type (electron-rich) silicon base with a thin insulated layer and specialized contact to collect electricity more efficiently and with less loss over time. For investors, it matters because it can raise panel efficiency and durability—like improving both fuel economy and lifespan of a car—potentially boosting power output per panel and lowering long‑term costs for solar manufacturers and buyers.
perovskite tandem solar cell technical
"N-type TOPCon-based perovskite tandem solar cell achieved a new conversion efficiency record of 34.76%"
A perovskite tandem solar cell stacks a thin, inexpensive perovskite sunlight-absorbing layer on top of another solar material so each layer captures different colors of sunlight, producing more electricity from the same panel area. For investors, this matters because higher efficiency and potentially cheaper manufacturing can lower costs per watt and increase product competitiveness, but commercial success depends on proving long-term durability and scalable production.
energy storage system technical
"Full-year energy storage system shipments increased significantly year-over-year"
An energy storage system is a setup that captures electricity when supply is abundant and stores it for later use, using batteries, pumped water, compressed air, or other methods. It matters to investors because it helps smooth power supply like a home battery preventing outages, lets renewable generation be sold when prices are high, can lower system costs and create new revenue streams, and therefore influences a company’s profitability, growth prospects and regulatory exposure.
impairment of long-lived assets financial
"The sequential and year-over-year increases were primarily due to an increase in the impairment of long-lived assets"
An impairment of long-lived assets occurs when a company concludes that a physical or intangible asset—like a building, equipment, or a patent—is worth less than its recorded value on the books, so the company writes down that asset to its recoverable amount. For investors this matters because such write-downs reduce reported profits and company net worth, signaling potential problems with future cash flow or that management overpaid for assets; think of it like recognizing that a car you bought has lost more value than you expected.
income tax benefit financial
"The Company recorded an income tax benefit of RMB1.04 billion in the fourth quarter of 2025"
An income tax benefit is a reduction in a company’s tax bill that increases its reported profit or cash flow, arising from things like tax credits, loss carryforwards, or adjustments to deferred tax balances. For investors it matters because it can temporarily boost earnings or free up cash for dividends, debt repayment, or reinvestment — similar to getting a rebate that improves your household budget and changes how much you can spend or save.
available-for-sale securities financial
"the Company had RMB864.4 million in available-for-sale securities and long-term investment"
Available-for-sale securities are investments in stocks, bonds or similar instruments that a company does not intend to trade frequently but may sell before they mature. They matter to investors because changes in the market value of these holdings show up as paper gains or losses on the company's balance sheet rather than immediately in profit, so they can affect reported net worth and the timing of income without changing day-to-day earnings. Think of them like items on a household shelf you might sell later: their value moves with the market even if you haven’t cashed out.

Mr. Xiande Li, JinkoSolar’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Global module shipments reached 86 GW in 2025, ranking first globally for the seventh time. The global photovoltaic industry continued to experience volatility due to structural imbalances and a shifting trade environment, which negatively impacted financials across the industrial chain. Facing persistently low module prices, the elimination of obsolete production capacity, and a still-evolving product mix, we incurred a net loss for the full year. In the fourth quarter, our gross margin decreased sequentially and our net loss expanded, impacted by factors including rising costs of raw materials such as polysilicon and silver, as well as foreign exchange rate fluctuations. However, our energy storage business maintained its rapid growth trajectory, with shipments growing significantly year-over-year, marking an important step in our ongoing transformation into an integrated energy solutions provider. We expect our ESS shipments to more than double in 2026 compared to 2025, as we penetrate into more high-value markets.

 

 

 

 

The Chinese government has continued to strengthen its recent policies supporting the high-quality development of the industry. These policies are guiding the industry away from pure competition on scale and price toward a focus on genuine quality and value. In response, leading companies have been actively support government initiatives to return module prices to reasonable levels. In the first quarter of 2026, this dynamic, combined with the pass-through of rising commodity prices such as silver, as well as the impact of export tax rebates on demand, drove a significant sequential rebound in module prices. As the competitive landscape normalizes and supply—demand dynamics gradually improve, we expect module prices to remain relatively stable going forward, with high efficiency and differentiated products continuing to command a premium. Simultaneously, volatility in global energy markets has highlighted the critical need for energy security, reinforcing the long-term value of reliable renewable energy. As solar power generation enters a market-driven phase, industry competition is transitioning to a model centered on technological innovation, product competitiveness, and the ability to deliver integrated solar plus storage solutions—which we are uniquely positioned to capitalize on.

 

We continue to drive technological breakthroughs and lead industry innovation, highlighting the quality and value we offer. As of the end of the fourth quarter, we became the first module manufacturer in the world to deliver a total of over 390 GW of solar modules, with cumulative shipments of our Tiger Neo series surpassing 220 GW, making it the best-selling module series in history. As of the end of 2025, the maximum laboratory conversion efficiency of our N-type TOPCon cells reached 27.79%, while our N-type TOPCon-based perovskite tandem solar cell achieved a new conversion efficiency record of 34.76%. Our development of silver-coated copper technology is progressing as planned, with large-scale production expected to gradually ramp up in 2026. We also continue to drive product upgrades, with shipments of high-efficiency products that exceed 640 W during the quarter increasing sequentially to approximately 3 GW. As we scale up production of our Tiger Neo 3.0 series this year, the differentiated value proposition of our high-efficiency products will allow us to command higher premiums. Further supporting this is our vertically integrated production model which continues to improve production efficiency and cost competitiveness.

 

As the global energy transition advances and the demand for grid flexibility increases, the role of energy storage within renewable energy systems continues to strengthen. Looking forward to the medium to long term, as the construction of new power systems advances and new load demand grows from data centers, application scenarios for solar and storage systems will continue to broaden. To address growing customer demand, we continued to optimize our global manufacturing and supply chain footprint. Our 2 GW N-type module facility in the U.S. maintained high utilization rates as we further strengthened local manufacturing and service capabilities there.

 

Looking forward, we will continue to consolidate our technological leadership, deepen our global footprint, accelerate the development of our integrated solar + storage solutions, and consistently improve our capabilities to deliver comprehensive value through our solutions. This will steadily strengthen our long-term competitiveness and profitability as the industry landscape reshapes. With this in mind, we expect annual integrated production capacity to reach approximately 100 GW by the end of 2026, including 14 GW from overseas facilities. We expect module shipments to be between 13 GW and 14 GW for the first quarter of 2026, and between 75 GW and 85 GW for the full year 2026.”

 

Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Results

 

Total Revenues

 

Total revenues in the fourth quarter of 2025 were RMB17.51 billion (US$2.50 billion), representing an increase of 8.3% from RMB16.16 billion in the third quarter of 2025 and a decrease of 15.2% from RMB20.65 billion in the fourth quarter of 2024. The sequential increase was primarily due to the increase in the shipment volume of solar modules, while the year-over-year decrease was mainly due to the decrease in the average selling price of solar modules.

 

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

 

Gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2025 was RMB55.1 million (US$7.9 million), compared with RMB1.18 billion in the third quarter of 2025 and RMB789.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.

 

Gross margin was 0.3% in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with 7.3% in the third quarter of 2025 and 3.8% in the fourth quarter of 2024. The sequential decrease was primarily due to a higher unit cost of products sold, while the year-over-year decrease was mainly due to the decrease in the average selling price of solar modules.

Net interest expenses in the fourth quarter of 2025 were RMB229.7 million (US$32.8 million), representing an increase of 13.8% from RMB201.8 million in the third quarter of 2025 and a decrease of 1.9% from RMB234.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The sequential increase was primarily due to an increase of interest-bearing debt in the fourth quarter of 2025, while the year-over-year decrease was mainly due to an increase of interest income during the fourth quarter of 2025.

 

Subsidy Income

 

Subsidy income in the fourth quarter of 2025 was RMB240.4 million (US$34.4 million), compared with RMB358.6 million in the third quarter of 2025 and RMB900.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The sequential and year-over-year decreases were primarily attributable to the decreases in cash receipt of incentives related to the Company’s business operations.

 

Exchange Loss/Gain and Change in Fair Value of Foreign Exchange Derivatives

 

The Company recorded a net exchange loss (including change in fair value of foreign exchange derivatives) of RMB303.8 million (US$43.4 million) in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to a net exchange gain of RMB0.9 million in the third quarter of 2025 and a net exchange gain of RMB408.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The sequential and year-over-year changes were mainly attributable to fluctuations in the exchange rate of the US dollar and euro against RMB in the fourth quarter of 2025.

 

Change in Fair Value of Long-term Investment

 

The Company holds certain equity interests in several solar technology companies in the photovoltaic industry, which are recorded as long-term investment and available-for-sale securities and reported at fair value with changes in fair value recognized as gains or losses. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had RMB864.4 million (US$123.6 million) in available-for-sale securities and long-term investment (excluding the investments accounted for under the equity method and held-to-maturity debt securities), compared with RMB1.15 billion as of September 30, 2025.

 

The Company recognized a loss from the change in fair value of long-term investment of RMB23.7 million (US$3.4 million) in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with a gain of RMB60.7 million in the third quarter of 2025 and a gain of RMB332.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The sequential and year-over-year changes were primarily due to the decreases in the fair value of several solar technology companies we invested in.

 

Other Income/Loss, Net

 

Net other income in the fourth quarter of 2025 was RMB26.0 million (US$3.7 million), compared with net other loss of RMB121.1 million in the third quarter of 2025 and net other loss of RMB758.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The sequential and year-over-year changes were mainly due to the changes in the fair value of financial instruments in the fourth quarter of 2025.

 

 

 

 

Equity in Loss/Income of Affiliated Companies

 

The Company indirectly holds equity interests in several affiliated companies engaged in solar business, which are accounted for using the equity method. The Company recorded equity in loss of affiliated companies of RMB33.8 million (US$4.8 million) in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with equity in income of affiliated companies of RMB2.9 million in the third quarter of 2025 and equity in loss of affiliated companies of RMB119.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The fluctuations in equity in loss or income of affiliated companies primarily arose from the changes in net losses or gains incurred by the affiliated companies.

 

Income Tax Benefit

 

The Company recorded an income tax benefit of RMB1.04 billion (US$148.9 million) in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with income tax benefit of RMB191.6 million in the third quarter of 2025 and income tax benefit of RMB580.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.

 

Net Loss Attributable to Non-Controlling Interests

Management attributes weaker margins and higher losses to lower average selling prices for solar modules, higher unit production costs, increased impairment of long-lived assets, reduced subsidy income and adverse foreign exchange movements, partially offset by a larger income tax benefit.

What technological achievements did JinkoSolar highlight for 2025?

JinkoSolar highlighted N-type TOPCon-based perovskite tandem solar cell conversion efficiency of 34.76%. It reported over 700 TOPCon patents and a maximum laboratory efficiency of 27.79% for N-type TOPCon cells, supporting its positioning in high-efficiency module products.
