Xinyi Solar Holdings (SEHK:968)

Simply Wall St Financial Health Rating: ★★★★★★

Overview: Xinyi Solar Holdings Limited is an investment holding company that produces and sells solar glass products across the People's Republic of China, Asia, North America, Europe, and internationally, with a market cap of HK$28.96 billion.

Operations: The company's revenue is primarily derived from the sales of solar glass, amounting to HK$24.04 billion, and its solar farm business, including EPC services, which contributes HK$3.03 billion.

Market Cap: HK$28.96B

Xinyi Solar Holdings Limited, with a market cap of HK$28.96 billion, primarily generates revenue from solar glass sales (HK$24.04 billion) and its solar farm business (HK$3.03 billion). Despite strong past earnings growth and stable weekly volatility, the company faces challenges due to a projected 70-80% decrease in net profit for 2024. This decline is driven by reduced demand and significant price drops in the solar glass market, alongside impairments and inventory write-downs. While its debt levels are well-managed with satisfactory coverage by operating cash flow, the dividend sustainability remains questionable due to insufficient free cash flows.
