Summary
I am rating JinkoSolar a Strong Buy because it is the undisputed global leader in solar module shipments, trading at a deeply depressed valuation that prices in permanent earnings impairment rather than a cyclical trough followed by a structural recovery.
Q1 2026 marked a decisive margin inflection, and the company's pivoted toward premium high power products. The numbers confirm this thesis that the worst is behind.
The energy storage business is the next growth engine. ESS shipments grew and management expects shipments to more than double again in 2026.
The FWD Non-GAAP P/E per stands at approximately 14.99x based on a recovery earnings path, and the upside case does not require heroic assumptions. It requires the margin inflection already underway to continue.
