Canadian Solar Inc (NASDAQ:CSIQ) reported fourth-quarter earnings today, posting a steep loss of $1.47 per share -- far wider than the expected $0.03 loss. On the plus side, revenue came in slightly ahead of estimates at $1.67 billion versus $1.64 billion.

CSIQ hit a nearly 12-year low of $9.49 on March 13 after a long-term downtrend, exacerbated by tariff uncertainty from the Trump administration. The stock is down 6.4% year-to-date and 43.3% lower on a year-over-year basis. Despite the big earnings miss, however, CSIQ was last seen up 7% at $10.39, staging a rebound after a rough stretch. The move is also giving a lift to fellow solar names Sunrun Inc (NASDAQ:RUN) and First Solar Inc (NASDAQ:FSLR).

Sunrun stock is also getting a lift, last seen up 3.2% at $6.58. The $6 level has emerged as a technical floor this month, helping to contain the recent pullback. Still, the broader trend remains negative -- RUN is down 30.6% in 2025 and off 66.1% over the past six months.

First Solar stock was last up 2.1% at $131.55. While the pop is welcome, FSLR is still off 25.4% year-to-date and hovering near its lowest levels since October 2022. Repeated rejections at short-term moving averages have capped rebound attempts, keeping the near-term technical outlook under pressure.
