Canadian Solar stock moved higher as the latest session closed at USD 13.36 and turnover reached 2.55 million shares.

Canadian Solar Inc. (CSIQ, ISIN CA1366351098) closed at USD 13.36 on September 2, 2026, up USD 0.70 or 5.53 percent, after an intraday range of USD 12.62 to USD 13.40 and volume of 2.55 million shares.

Profit pressure stays visible

MarketBeat lists the company with a market capitalization of USD 907.14 million and a consensus rating of Reduce, with a price target of USD 17.75. The same snapshot shows a 52-week range of USD 9.69 to USD 34.59, which places the stock much closer to the lower end than to last year`s high.

For investors, the key point is that the share price is still far below the 52-week top while the market value remains under USD 1 billion. That gap matters more than the one-session bounce.

Latest quarter missed estimates

In the latest reported quarter, Canadian Solar said revenue was USD 1.08 billion and EPS was USD -1.01 for Q2 2026, while the consensus estimate had been USD -1.23. Revenue for Q1 2026 was USD 1.08 billion as well, and the company was still posting a profit margin of -2.98 percent in Yahoo Finance`s earnings view.

MarketBeat also summarizes the most recent earnings release as August 27, 2026, with EPS of USD -1.40, missing the consensus estimate of USD -0.18 by USD 1.22 and with revenue down 28.7 percent year over year.
