JinkoSolar reported a 15.7% YoY revenue decline to $2.03B in Q3 2026, citing lower shipment volumes. Gross margin surged to 12.3%, but Q4 margins may face pressure due to higher China shipments and long-term contracts. Net debt rose to $4.41B. CEO Charlie Cao expects module ASPs to stabilize in 2027 and sees opportunities in product mix optimization. Energy storage shipments are ahead of revenue recognition, with Q4 shipments expected at 5.5 GWh.
