Canadian Solar reported a wider Q2 2026 loss of $1.40 per share despite beating revenue estimates at $1.21 billion. However, revenues declined 28.7% year-over-year due to lower gross margins and reduced module shipments. Battery storage shipments surged 73% year-over-year, showing strength in that segment. The company guided Q3 revenues of $1.30-$1.50 billion with gross margins of 13.5%-15.5%.
