Justin Paget/DigitalVision via Getty Images JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. ( JKS ) is a Chinese company that is also a global leader in solar photovoltaic (PV) in the renewable energy technology space I have been following for a while. JKS is vertically integrated, where it controls the production process across the value chain, from wafer and ingots all the way to cells and finished solar modules. JKS generates revenue through the manufacturing and selling of these solar modules to customers across the utility, commercial, and residential sectors globally. Since its 2010 IPO, the share price has experienced some significant volatility, reaching an all-time high of around $75 per share in 2022 before facing significant industry-wide margin compression. While the stock has lost more than -58% of its value over the past five years, it has seen some rebound in recent times, with the stock being up 22% on a 1-year period. JKS currently trades at $25.6 per share, though it is also down around -8% YTD. I initiate my coverage with a buy rating. My 1-year price target of $29.8 presents a 16% upside from the current price of $25.6 per share. Financial Reviews Overall, JKS has not had a good Q3 in terms of revenue growth, though it continues to maintain its leading status in terms of market share. Q3 revenue was down -34% to $2.27 billion (or RMB 16.2 billion). This was driven by lower average selling prices (ASP) of modules, which plummeted globally as a result of oversupply. Q3 Presentation (Q3 Presentation) JKS also saw losses in Q3, with net loss under US GAAP amounting to -$105.3 million. However, non-GAAP adjusted net loss was -$52.4 million , a much narrower figure as it excludes fair value changes in convertibles and asset impairments. With these losses, JKS has maintained three consecutive quarters of losses, having last seen positive quarterly earnings around Q2 2024.

Energy is an often overlooked but invaluable sector that can pay very well for your portfolio. From an investor's standpoint, there's nothing flashy about the oil and gas business. Crude oil and natural gas are extracted from the ground, transported via pipelines, and then refined into the energy and products that make modern life possible.

Energy is an often overlooked but invaluable sector that can pay very well for your portfolio. From an investor's standpoint, there's nothing flashy about the oil and gas business. Crude oil and natural gas are extracted from the ground, transported via pipelines, and then refined into the energy and products that make modern life possible. The straightforward (maybe even boring?) aspect of this process, as well as the importance of these energy sources, has made the leading companies in this industry fantastic dividend stocks. Investors can enjoy the steady income flowing into their portfolios, delivering peace of mind that helps them sleep well at night. These three energy-related companies may be boring for investors, but you'll want to check them out anyway. 1.

Energy Transfer (ET 0.90%) is one of the largest midstream companies in the world. It owns several subsidiaries and stakes in other public companies. Energy Transfer operates thousands of miles of pipelines that transport oil and gas resources from production sites to retail, refining, and export hubs.
