JinkoSolar (ISIN US47759T1007) proposed changing its English name to Jinko Holdings Limited on September 9, 2026, while JinkoSolar stock gained 2.14 percent. The company was trading at EUR 8.61 at Lang & Schwarz on October 1, 2026, compared with a prior close of EUR 8.43.

Shareholders vote on October 21

According to JinkoSolar on September 9, 2026, the proposed name change requires shareholder approval and regulatory procedures. The company said its American depositary shares are expected to continue trading on the New York Stock Exchange under ticker JKS after completion.

JinkoSolar scheduled its annual general meeting for October 21, 2026, in Shanghai. The agenda includes the name change, director elections and consideration of the audited financial statements for fiscal year 2025.

Second-quarter margins remain compressed

In the second quarter of 2026, revenue fell 31.30 percent year over year to USD 1.82 billion, according to The Globe and Mail in its report on the August 26, 2026 earnings call. Gross margin was 4.20 percent, compared with 8.30 percent in the first quarter of 2026 and 2.90 percent in the second quarter of 2025.

The same report showed a net loss of RMB 697.3 million in the second quarter, wider than the RMB 463.5 million loss in the first quarter. Module shipments reached 15,961 MW, up 16.70 percent sequentially but down 34.40 percent from the second quarter of 2025.

Guidance shifts toward profitability

Management guided for full-year 2026 module shipments of 60 GW to 70 GW and third-quarter shipments of 15 GW to 17 GW. The full-year range is lower than the earlier 75 GW to 85 GW target described for 2026, placing profitability, cash flow and order quality ahead of shipment scale.

JinkoSolar also expects integrated production capacity of 100 GW by the end of 2026, including 14 GW from overseas facilities. That capacity figure contrasts with the reduced shipment range and shows why utilization, product mix and selling prices are central to the company's next results.
