Daqo New Energy stock (ISIN US23703Q2030) was last at USD 11.08 on the NYSE on October 6, 2026, up USD 0.04, or 0.36 percent, from the prior close. The latest reported quarter combined revenue growth against the previous quarter with a deep adjusted loss.
Q2 revenue beat estimates
According to Zacks on August 20, 2026, Daqo reported Q2 2026 revenue of USD 62.66 million for the quarter ended June 2026. That was 5.84 percent above the consensus estimate, but below USD 75.19 million in the year-ago quarter.
The earnings quality was weaker than the top line. Adjusted loss per ADS was USD 1.20 against a consensus loss of USD 0.28, producing an earnings surprise of negative 328.57 percent, according to Zacks.
Analyst targets split sharply
The analyst picture remains divided after the results. MarketBeat reported on September 29, 2026, that six analysts held a Reduce consensus, with four Sell ratings, one Hold rating and one Buy rating. The average 12-month price target was USD 15.83, which lies 42.9 percent above the October 6 price of USD 11.08.
MarketBeat reported on October 1, 2026, that Zacks Research upgraded Daqo from Strong Sell to Hold. The change contrasts with the reported earnings gap and leaves the average target well above the stock's current quotation.
DQ remains near its yearly low
DQ's October 6 trading range was USD 10.97 to USD 11.24, while its 52-week range was USD 10.87 to USD 36.59. The USD 11.08 price therefore stood USD 0.21 above the yearly low and USD 25.51 below the high.
Market capitalization was USD 749.7 million on October 6, 2026, and volume reached 522,875 shares. For investors, the central issue is whether improved quarterly revenue can outpace the continuing loss profile reflected in the latest EPS comparison.
