New CEO at JinkoSolar (NYSE: JKS) faces losses and trimmed 2026 goals
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. (JKS) reported unaudited second quarter 2026 results and a leadership change. Mr. Wei “Dimi” Du was appointed chief executive officer effective August 26, 2026, succeeding Mr. Xiande Li, who remains chairman and chair of key board committees. The company stated the CEO transition was part of a planned succession and not due to disagreement, and does not expect a material impact on operations.
For Q2 2026, JinkoSolar generated RMB12.36 billion in revenue, down 31.3% year-over-year and roughly flat sequentially, as module shipment volumes fluctuated in a pressured pricing environment. Gross margin was 4.2%, below 8.3% in Q1 but above 2.9% a year earlier, reflecting lower average selling prices and elevated costs for high-efficiency products. Loss from operations widened to RMB1.44 billion, and net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders was RMB697.3 million, with adjusted net loss at RMB910.8 million.
Management highlighted approximately 16 GW of module shipments in the quarter and 29.6 GW in the first half, with high-efficiency Tiger Neo series cumulative shipments surpassing 250 GW. The company continues to build an investment platform, recognizing a RMB236.6 million gain from the sale of 75.1% of Jinko Solar (U.S.) Industries Inc. and a RMB370.3 million fair value gain on long-term investments. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash declined to RMB16.94 billion while total interest‑bearing debt stood at RMB44.90 billion. JinkoSolar trimmed full‑year 2026 module shipment guidance to 60–70 GW and expects ESS shipments to more than double year-over-year.
Positive
- Gross margin improved year-over-year to 4.2% from 2.9% in Q2 2025, helped by higher average selling prices versus a year earlier, even though it declined sequentially.
- Investment monetization delivered sizable gains, including a pre-tax disposal gain of approximately RMB236.6 million from selling 75.1% of Jinko Solar (U.S.) Industries Inc. and a RMB370.3 million fair value gain on long-term investments.
- Balance sheet deleveraging continued, with total interest-bearing debts decreasing to RMB44.90 billion as of June 30, 2026 from RMB47.27 billion as of March 31, 2026.
- High-efficiency products and ESS are gaining traction, with cumulative Tiger Neo shipments surpassing 250 GW, first-half ESS shipments increasing significantly year-over-year, and ESS gross margin improving year-over-year.
Negative
- Revenue declined 31.3% year-over-year to RMB12.36 billion in Q2 2026, reflecting weaker solar module shipment volumes compared with Q2 2025.
- Operating performance deteriorated, with loss from operations widening to RMB1.44 billion and operating loss margin to 11.6%, driven by lower gross margin and higher operating expenses.
- Adjusted net loss increased to RMB910.8 million in Q2 2026 from RMB549.3 million in Q1 2026 and RMB856.4 million in Q2 2025, indicating ongoing earnings pressure.
- Cash balance fell materially, with cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash decreasing to RMB16.94 billion as of June 30, 2026 from RMB22.81 billion as of March 31, 2026, while interest-bearing debt remains high at RMB44.90 billion.
- Full-year module shipment guidance was reduced, with 2026 expectations lowered to 60–70 GW, reflecting demand changes and a focus on profitability, cash flow and order quality.

JinkoSolar Announces Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results
08/26/2026
SHANGRAO, China, Aug. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. ("JinkoSolar" or the "Company") (NYSE: JKS), a global leader in clean energy technology, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.
Second Quarter 2026 Business Highlights
Core Solar and Energy Storage Business Highlights

 | By the end of the second quarter, we became the first module manufacturer in the world to have delivered a total of over 420 GW of solar modules, with total shipments of the Tiger Neo series surpassing 250 GW, making it the best-selling module series in our history. |
 | In June 2026, we set new performance benchmarks for our TOPCon modules with the launch of the next-generation Tiger Neo 5.0 module, featuring power output of over 700 W and module efficiency of up to 25.91%. |
 | Shipments of energy storage system for the first half of 2026 increased significantly year-over-year, accompanied by an expansion in gross margin. |
Strategic Investment Highlights

 | During the first half of 2026, the Company disposed of a substantial portion of its equity interest in LAPLACE Renewable Energy Technology Co., Ltd., generating over RMB300 million in cash proceeds. Since our initial investment, the cumulative realized gain on this disposal (net of cost and transaction fees) exceeded RMB250 million. This gain was recognized over multiple periods through fair value adjustments following its IPO in late 2024, with over RMB100 million recorded in change in fair value of long-term investment upon settlement in the first half of 2026. |
 | Additionally, our portfolio company, Hangzhou Gold Electronic Equipment Co., Ltd., successfully completed its public listing during the second quarter, marking an important milestone in the development of our strategic investment portfolio. |
Second Quarter 2026 Operational and Financial Highlights
 | Quarterly shipments of solar modules were 15,961 MW, up 16.7% sequentially and down 34.4% year-over-year. |
 | Total revenues were RMB12.36 billion (US$1.82 billion), up 0.9% sequentially and down 31.3% year-over-year. |
 | Gross profit was RMB 513.1 million (US$75.6 million), down 49.6% sequentially and 2.5% year-over-year. |
 | Gross profit margin was 4.2%, compared with gross profit margin of 8.3% in Q1 2026 and gross profit margin of 2.9% in Q2 2025. |
 | Net loss attributable to JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd.'s ordinary shareholders was RMB697.3 million (US$102.8 million), compared with net loss attributable to JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd.'s ordinary shareholders of RMB463.5 million in Q1 2026 and net loss attributable to JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd.'s ordinary shareholders of RMB876.4 million in Q2 2025. |
 | Adjusted net loss attributable to JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd.'s ordinary shareholders was RMB910.8 million (US$134.2 million), which excludes the impact of (i) the change in fair value of long-term investment, (ii) gain from disposal of a subsidiary, and (iii) share-based compensation expenses, compared with adjusted net loss attributable to JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd.'s ordinary shareholders of RMB549.3 million in Q1 2026 and adjusted net loss attributable to JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd.'s ordinary shareholders of RMB856.4 million in Q2 2025. |
 | Basic and diluted losses per ordinary share were RMB3.30 (US$0.49) and RMB3.30 (US$0.49), respectively. This translates into basic and diluted losses per ADS of RMB13.19 (US$1.94) and RMB13.19 (US$1.94), respectively. |
Mr. Dimi Du, JinkoSolar's Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Module shipments increased sequentially to approximately 16 GW during the quarter, bringing first half module shipments to approximately 29.6 GW, once again at the forefront of industry. By the end of the second quarter, cumulative shipments of our high-efficiency N-type Tiger Neo series surpassed 250 GW, making it the best-selling module series in our history. Leveraging a sales network covering nearly 200 countries and regions and 35 service centers globally, shipments to overseas markets accounted for around 70% of the first half total. Supply and demand across the PV industry remain dynamic and with policy shifts in both domestic and overseas markets, prices along the supply chain and industry profitability continued to be under pressure. The cost of ramping up production of our high-efficiency products remained elevated during the quarter and impacted our gross margin and bottom line when combined with the delivery of certain low-value orders. In response, we optimized our order book and geographic mix, managed utilization rates, and continued to increase the proportion of high-efficiency products within our total shipments while introducing technologies that lower costs.
The PV industry is gradually shifting its focus from production capacity and shipment scale toward effective supply, product value, and earnings quality.
The mandatory national energy efficiency standard for modules and inverters, released in July 2026, will take effect in January 2027 and sets minimum energy efficiency thresholds for market access. We are already seeing this shift in customer behavior, with the share of tenders for high-efficiency modules increasing significantly which also command a premium. The distributed PV market is likewise transitioning from scale-driven growth toward scenario-based and operational value. We believe these changes will benefit industry leaders such as ourselves, allowing us to capitalize on our advanced manufacturing capacity, technological expertise, established brands and global delivery capabilities.
We expect to have more than 40 GW of TOPCon 3.0 production capacity by the end of 2026. Based on the current standard requirements, the relevant products are expected to meet the Level 1 energy-efficiency requirements. In June, we unveiled our next-generation Tiger Neo 5.0 modules, which, through the optimization of multiple core technologies, achieved mass-produced efficiency of 25.91% and power output of over 700 W, once again setting a new benchmark for TOPCon product performance. We are also extending our technology into scenario-based applications, most recently through Sunny 365, a suite of integrated solar-plus-storage solutions designed for retail, AIDC and manufacturing scenarios.
Our energy storage systems (ESS) business maintained its momentum, with shipments in the first half of the year increasing significantly year-over-year and gross margin improving year-over-year. Given uncertainties in the timing of project delivery and other factors, recognized revenue remains in the ramp-up stage. As project deliveries increase, alongside the ongoing enhancement of our proprietary PCS, EMS and other capabilities, we expect to improve the recognition contribution and profit realization and to drive higher-quality growth in this business.
Alongside our core businesses, we are building an investment platform as a complementary driver of long-term value creation.
Over the past several years, we have made selective investments in more than 40 projects through direct investments and investment funds in which we participate, initially focusing on the solar and energy storage value chains and more recently extending into AI and other frontier technologies. During the first half of 2026, we divested a substantial portion of our equity interest in LAPLACE Renewable Energy Technology Co., Ltd., generating cash proceeds of over RMB300 million, while Hangzhou Gold Electronic Equipment Co., Ltd., one of our portfolio companies, successfully completed its listing on the ChiNext Market of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. These milestones demonstrate the progress we are making in realizing value from our investment portfolio. We will continue to allocate capital prudently, with the long-term development of our core solar and energy storage businesses remaining our top priority, while selectively pursuing strategic investments that can support sustainable long-term value creation.
Looking ahead, we expect our annual integrated production capacity to reach approximately 100 GW by year-end 2026, including approximately 14 GW from overseas facilities. Considering demand dynamics in certain markets, we will place greater emphasis on balancing shipment volume, profitability, cash flow and order quality, and are adjusting our full year 2026 module shipment guidance to between 60 GW and 70 GW, with high-efficiency products accounting for over 60% of the total shipments. For the third quarter of 2026, we expect module shipments to be between 15 GW and 17 GW."
Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Total Revenues
Total revenues in the second quarter of 2026 were RMB12.36 billion (US$1.82 billion), representing an increase of 0.9% from RMB12.25 billion in the first quarter of 2026 and a decrease of 31.3% from RMB17.99 billion in the second quarter of 2025. The sequential and year-over-year changes were mainly due to the fluctuations in the shipment volume of solar modules.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit in the second quarter of 2026 was RMB513.1 million (US$75.6 million), compared with gross profit of RMB1.02 billion in the first quarter of 2026 and gross profit of RMB526.5 million in the second quarter of 2025.
Gross profit margin was 4.2% in the second quarter of 2026, compared with gross profit margin of 8.3% in the first quarter of 2026 and gross profit margin of 2.9% in the second quarter of 2025. The sequential decrease was mainly due to a lower average selling price of solar modules, while the year-over-year increase was primarily due to the higher average selling price of solar modules, partially offset by a higher unit cost of products sold.
Loss from Operations and Operating Margin
Loss from operations in the second quarter of 2026 was RMB1.44 billion (US$211.7 million), compared with loss from operations of RMB588.2 million in the first quarter of 2026 and loss from operations of RMB1.38 billion in the second quarter of 2025. The sequential increase was primarily attributable to the decrease in our gross margin in the second quarter of 2026, while the year-over-year increase was primarily due to the increase in our operating expenses in the second quarter of 2026.
Operating loss margin was 11.6% in the second quarter of 2026, compared with operating loss margin of 4.8% in the first quarter of 2026 and operating loss margin of 7.7% in the second quarter of 2025.
Total operating expenses in the second quarter of 2026 were RMB1.95 billion (US$287.3 million), representing an increase of 21.3% from RMB1.61 billion in the first quarter of 2026 and an increase of 2.3% from RMB1.91 billion in the second quarter of 2025. The sequential and year-over-year increases were primarily due to higher expected credit losses in the second quarter of 2026.
Total operating expenses accounted for 15.8% of total revenues in the second quarter of 2026, compared to 13.1% in the first quarter of 2026 and 10.6% in the second quarter of 2025.
Interest Expenses and Interest Income
Interest expenses were RMB386.9 million (US$57.0 million), and interest income was RMB113.6 million (US$16.7 million) in the second quarter of 2026.
Net interest expenses in the second quarter of 2026 were RMB273.3 million (US$40.3 million), representing an increase of 0.9% from RMB270.7 million in the first quarter of 2026 and an increase of 45.9% from RMB187.3 million in the second quarter of 2025. The year-over-year increase was primarily attributable to new lease liabilities recognized in connection with lease contracts executed in late 2025.
Subsidy Income
Subsidy income in the second quarter of 2026 was RMB201.8 million (US$29.7 million), compared with RMB331.9 million in the first quarter of 2026 and RMB12.0 million in the second quarter of 2025. The sequential and year-over-year changes were primarily attributable to the changes in government grants related to income.
Exchange Loss/Gain
The Company recorded a net exchange loss of RMB325.4 million (US$48.0 million) in the second quarter of 2026, compared to a net exchange loss of RMB482.8 million in the first quarter of 2026 and a net exchange gain of RMB276.7 million in the second quarter of 2025. The sequential and year-over-year changes were mainly attributable to fluctuations in the exchange rates of the US dollar and euro against RMB in the second quarter of 2026.
Change in Fair Value of Forward Contracts and Commodity Futures
The Company recorded a net loss from change in fair value of forward contracts and commodity futures of RMB48.4 million (US$7.1 million) in the second quarter of 2026, compared to a net loss of RMB354.7 million in the first quarter of 2026 and a net loss of RMB178.8 million in the second quarter of 2025. The sequential improvement was mainly due to the decrease of loss from change in fair value of commodity futures in the second quarter of 2026, while the year-over-year improvement was primarily due to the decrease of loss from change in fair value of forward contracts in the second quarter of 2026.
Change in Fair Value of Long-term Investment
The Company holds certain equity interests in several companies operating across the photovoltaic, energy storage, and artificial intelligence sectors, 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 June 30, 2026, the Company had RMB1.99 billion (US$294.0 million) in long-term investment (excluding the investments accounted for under the equity method and held-to-maturity debt securities) and available-for-sale securities, compared with RMB1.10 billion as of March 31, 2026.
The Company recognized a gain from change in fair value of long-term investment of RMB 370.3 million (US$54.6 million) in the second quarter of 2026, compared with a gain of RMB124.4 million in the first quarter of 2026 and a gain of RMB42.3 million in the second quarter of 2025. The sequential and year-over-year improvements were primarily due to fair value gains from a previously invested company that went public in the second quarter of 2026, reflecting both post-IPO share price appreciation on the original investment and the incremental fair value from additional investments made during the second quarter of 2026.
Other Loss/Income, Net
Net other loss in the second quarter of 2026 was RMB23.9 million (US$3.5million), compared with net other income of RMB34.9 million in the first quarter of 2026 and net other loss of RMB204.7 million in the second quarter of 2025. The sequential and year-over-year changes were mainly due to the changes in the fair value of financial instruments in the second quarter of 2026.
Gain from disposal of a subsidiary
On May 31, 2026, we completed the transfer of 75.1% equity interest in Jinko Solar (U.S.) Industries Inc. to FH JKV Holdings Limited for total cash consideration of RMB1.31 billion (US$191.5 million). The transaction resulted in a pre-tax disposal gain of approximately RMB236.6 million (US$34.9 million). Effective upon closing, the subsidiary's financial results are no longer consolidated in our financial statements, and our retained 24.9% equity interest is subsequently measured and recognized using the equity method.
Equity in Loss 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 RMB78.6 million (US$11.6 million) in the second quarter of 2026, compared with equity in loss of affiliated companies of RMB54.5 million in the first quarter of 2026 and equity in loss of affiliated companies of RMB70.9 million in the second quarter of 2025. The fluctuations in equity in loss of affiliated companies primarily arose from the changes in net losses incurred by the affiliated companies.
Income Tax Benefit
The Company recorded an income tax benefit of RMB163.7 million (US$24.1 million) in the second quarter of 2026, compared with income tax benefit of RMB379.3 million in the first quarter of 2026 and income tax benefit of RMB288.8 million in the second quarter of 2025.
Net Loss Attributable to Non-Controlling Interests
Net loss attributable to non-controlling interests amounted to RMB569.9 million (US$84.0million) in the second quarter of 2026, compared with net loss attributable to non-controlling interests of RMB449.4 million in the first quarter of 2026 and net loss attributable to non-controlling interests of RMB546.6 million in the second quarter of 2025. The sequential and year-over-year changes were mainly attributable to the fluctuations in net loss of Jiangxi Jinko, the Company's majority-owned principal operating subsidiary.
Net Loss and Losses per Share
Net loss attributable to JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd.'s ordinary shareholders was RMB697.3 million (US$102.8 million) in the second quarter of 2026, compared with net loss attributable to JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd.'s ordinary shareholders of RMB463.5 million in the first quarter of 2026 and net loss attributable to JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd.'s ordinary shareholders of RMB876.4 million in the second quarter of 2025.
Excluding the impact of (i) the change in fair value of the long-term investment, (ii) gain from disposal of a subsidiary, and (iii) share-based compensation expenses, adjusted net loss attributable to JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd.'s ordinary shareholders was RMB910.8 million (US$134.2 million) in the second quarter of 2026, compared with adjusted net loss attributable to JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd.'s ordinary shareholders of RMB549.3 million in the first quarter of 2026 and adjusted net loss attributable to JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd.'s ordinary shareholders of RMB856.4 million in the second quarter of 2025.
Basic and diluted losses per ordinary share were RMB3.30 (US$0.49) and RMB3.30 (US$0.49), respectively, in the second quarter of 2026, compared to basic and diluted losses per ordinary share of RMB2.21 and RMB2.21, respectively, in the first quarter of 2026, and basic and diluted losses per ordinary share of RMB4.20 and RMB4.20, respectively, in the second quarter of 2025. As each ADS represents four ordinary shares, this translates into basic and diluted losses per ADS of RMB13.19 (US$1.94) and RMB13.19 (US$1.94), respectively, in the second quarter of 2026; basic and diluted losses per ADS of RMB8.85 and RMB8.85, respectively, in the first quarter of 2026; and basic and diluted losses per ADS of RMB16.82 and RMB16.82, respectively, in the second quarter of 2025.
