Risk Warning on Trading HK Stocks
Despite Hong Kong's robust legal and regulatory framework, its stock market still faces unique risks and challenges, such as currency fluctuations due to the Hong Kong dollar's peg to the US dollar and the impact of mainland China's policy changes and economic conditions on Hong Kong stocks.
HK Stock Trading Fees and Taxation
Trading costs in the Hong Kong stock market include transaction fees, stamp duty, settlement charges, and currency conversion fees for foreign investors. Additionally, taxes may apply based on local regulations.
HK Non-Essential Consumer Goods Industry
The Hong Kong stock market encompasses non-essential consumption sectors like automotive, education, tourism, catering, and apparel. Of the 643 listed companies, 35% are mainland Chinese, making up 65% of the total market capitalization. Thus, it's heavily influenced by the Chinese economy.
HK Real Estate Industry
In recent years, the real estate and construction sector's share in the Hong Kong stock index has notably decreased. Nevertheless, as of 2022, it retains around 10% market share, covering real estate development, construction engineering, investment, and property management.

(Reporting by Vallari Srivastava in Bengaluru)
Canadian Solar, Inc. CSIQ reported second-quarter 2024 earnings of 2 cents per share, which surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 1 cent. However, the bottom line declined 99.2% from the second-quarter 2023 reported figure of $2.39 per share.
Revenues
Canadian Solar reported revenues of $1.63 billion in the second quarter, which lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.4%. The top line also declined 30.8% from the year-ago quarter’s figure of $2.36 billion.
This year-over-year decrease was primarily due to a decline in the average selling price (ASP) for CSIQ’s modules and lower project sales, which was marginally offset by higher battery energy storage solutions sales.

Operational Update
Solar module shipments in the quarter totaled 8.2 gigawatts (GW), which came above the company’s earlier announced guidance range of 7.5-8 GW. This includes 135 megawatts (MW) of the company's utility-scale solar power projects.
Canadian Solar’s gross margin was 17.2% in the quarter, in line with the 16%-18% guidance range. The gross margin declined by 140 basis points year over year, driven by lower margin contributions from solar power and battery energy storage asset sales and lower module ASPs.
Total operating expenses were $234.4 million, up 8.3% year over year.
Depreciation and amortization charges were $122 million, up from the $73 million recorded in the year-ago period. The increase was due to the company's continued investments in vertical integration and incremental capacity expansion.
Financial Update
As of Jun 30, 2024, Canadian Solar’s cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.62 billion, down from $1.94 billion on Dec 31, 2023.
Long-term borrowings as of Jun 30, 2024 were $1.62 billion, up from $1.27 billion on Dec 31, 2023.
Guidance
For the third quarter of 2024, Canadian Solar expects total module shipments in the range of 9.0-9.5 GW, including approximately 100 MW of module shipments for its projects.
Total revenues are expected in the range of $1.6-$1.8 billion. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter sales is pegged at $1.64 billion, which is lower than the midpoint of the company’s guided range.
The company expects gross margin to be between 14% and 16%.
Total battery energy storage shipments by CSI Solar in the third quarter are expected between 1.4 gigawatt-hours (GWh) and 1.7 GWh.
