Description: DQ Daqo New Energy January 16, 2026

Daqo New Energy Corp. (NYSE:DQ) manufactures and sells high-purity polysilicon to photovoltaic product makers in China. Founded in 2006 and headquartered in Shanghai, the firm operates under the Semiconductor Materials & Equipment sub-industry and supplies the raw material used to produce ingots, wafers, cells and solar modules.

As of Q3 2024, Daqo reported a production capacity of roughly 30 kt of polysilicon with utilization hovering around 85 %, and average realized pricing of about $13.5 per kg-both metrics that are highly sensitive to Chinese renewable-energy subsidies and global polysilicon supply-demand dynamics. A key sector driver is the Chinese government’s “14th Five-Year Plan,” which continues to prioritize solar capacity expansion, while a material-side risk remains the potential for feedstock (silicon metal) price spikes that could compress margins.

For a deeper, data-driven look at how these variables translate into valuation risk and upside, you may find the analyst tools on ValueRay worth a quick glance.
