Where CSIQ stands vs its 150-day and 200-day moving averages
As of the September 2, 2026 close, CSIQ finished 22.00% below its 150-day moving average ($16.23) and 30.25% below its 200-day moving average ($18.15). This snapshot is end-of-day data shown with a five-trading-day delay on the free plan; Premium members see readings from the latest close.
Is CSIQ overbought or oversold?
At the September 2, 2026 close, CSIQ's RSI(14) was 24.6, in oversold territory (below 30). The MACD histogram was negative, so short-term momentum leaned bearish at that close. These readings are historical, refresh daily after market close, and are not investment advice.
On the balance sheet, CSIQ has $1.46B in cash with $7.31B in obligations. The ability to service this debt comfortably depends on continued operational cash generation. Free cash flow is running at -$1.29B, which bears watching. Negative free cash flow can be acceptable during heavy investment periods but needs to improve over time. Return on equity stands at -6.0%, which is negative for the sector. ROE measures how effectively a company uses shareholder capital to generate profits. ROA of 0.4% is on the lower side, which is common in asset-heavy industries. Revenue has pulled back from $7.47B (2022) to $5.60B (2025), a 25% decline worth watching.
Canadian Solar Inc.'s elevated beta suggests the stock experiences more pronounced price movements than the overall market, which increases both upside potential and downside risk. Debt significantly exceeds cash reserves, which means the company's financial flexibility could be constrained during economic downturns. The company is burning cash at the operating level, which is not unusual for growth-phase companies but adds risk if it persists. These risk factors are not exhaustive — macroeconomic shifts, regulatory changes, and competitive dynamics can all influence Canadian Solar Inc.'s trajectory.
