Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Technology / Technology Hardware, Storage & Peripherals. Price $11.98, market value $627 million.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). JinkoSolar Holding Company Limited American reported negative earnings over the last twelve months, so the P/E is not meaningful; use price-to-sales, EV/EBITDA and free-cash-flow yield instead.
- **Price / sales: 0.0×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.0×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 0.3×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **EV / EBITDA: 0.3×**. Enterprise value is 0.3× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -48.0%** (5-yr avg -9.0%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 4.8%**. JinkoSolar Holding Company Limited American keeps 4.8% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, a thin margin typical of retail, distribution and commodity businesses.
- **Operating margin: -6.7%**. Operating margin is negative: the business loses money before interest and tax.
- **Net margin: -6.8%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: -28.3%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on invested capital: 903.1%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 903.1%: comfortably above what that capital costs.
- **Return on assets: -19.7%**. Each dollar of assets produces -19.7% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): -25.9%** (3-yr -8.1%/yr, 5-yr 11.7%/yr). Revenue fell 25.9% over the last year, against 11.7% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): -1694.1%**. Earnings per share fell 1694.1%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.13**. Debt is 0.13 times equity: a conservative balance sheet.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 0.4×**. It would take 0.4 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, within the comfortable range.
- **Interest coverage: -2.7×**. Operating profit covers interest only -2.7×: fragile.
- **Current ratio: 1.25** (quick 1.25). Current assets cover the next year's liabilities 1.25 times.
- **Altman Z-score: 0.64**. A Z-score of 0.64 is in the distress zone, a signal to examine the balance sheet closely.
- **Piotroski F-score: 4/9**. 4 of 9 checks pass: mixed.

- **From 52-week high: -62.4%** (0.3% above the low). Trading 62% below its 52-week high, deep in a drawdown.
- **200-day average: below**. The price sits below its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of a downtrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 24**. An RSI of 24 is oversold; bounces are common, but oversold can stay oversold in a real decline.
- **Beta (1 yr): 1.71** (volatility 62%). Beta of 1.71 against the S&P 500: the shares move much more than the market.
