Detailed SWOT Analysis of Canadian Solar Inc.

Strength

This section is available only in the 'Complete Report' on purchase.

Weakness

This section is available only in the 'Complete Report' on purchase.

Opportunity

1. Increase in battery storage demand: The battery storage market is expected to grow to USD19.74 Billion by 2027 indicating a CAGR of 20.4% over 2020-27 as per leading industry estimates. The major reason behind this will be the steps towards increase of sufficient access to electricity across the world. Battery storage technology goes hand in hand with the solar energy segment. Thus, giving a twofold demand growth to Canadian Solar Inc., the direct benefits will be to its recent investments in storage projects such as the pure storage projects in USA and Canada. The storage capacity has gone up from 3 gigawatt hours in 2019 to 9 gigawatt hours in 2020. This capability can support the firm’s solar panel and modules business in large scale projects to expand to remotest areas in the world. The firm’s presence in segments such as inverters will get strengthened. Further expansions into batteries for electric vehicles will diversify the portfolio with minimal additional costs.

The remaining section under "Opportunity" is available only in the 'Complete Report' on purchase.

Threat

1. Exchange rate fluctuations can decrease profits from operations: The company’s majority of operations are in China. But it has a global market that it has to cater. So the exchange rate between Chinese Renminbi and US Dollar affects the final realized revenue and profit. For instance, the company had a foreign exchange gain of $6.5 million and $10.4 million dollars in 2018 and 2019 respectively but a loss of $64.5 million dollars in 2020. The decisions taken by Chinese government regarding valuation of currency cannot be easily predicted. So the company uses hedging through futures and options to minimize the losses. But hedging does not resolve the long-term effects of exchange rate fluctuations. Also, it comes at an added cost. Ultimately it hampers the pricing strategy of the company as it may not be able to have a consistent cost or benefit that can be passed on to customers.
