Daqo New Energy Corp., operating with its subsidiaries, is engaged in the production and supply of polysilicon to companies manufacturing photovoltaic products across the People's Republic of China. This polysilicon is a fundamental material utilized in the creation of ingots, wafers, cells, and modules, which are crucial components for diverse solar power applications. The company, initially named Mega Stand International Limited, adopted its current designation, Daqo New Energy Corp., in August 2009. Founded in 2006, its main operational base is situated in Shanghai, China.

Daqo New Energy Corp. receives a third consecutive Sell rating due to persistent structural and profitability challenges. DQ's production costs exceed polysilicon selling prices, utilization rates remain below 50%, and gross margins are deeply negative. Despite a recent rally and increased output guidance, DQ's market cap is unsupported by its $22.3M projected annual gross profit and ongoing losses.
