Daqo New Energy (DQ) Stock

Daqo New Energy faces short-term challenges due to a sharp decline in polysilicon prices, impacting revenue and profitability in FY24. Despite current market conditions, DQ's strong balance sheet and projected long-term demand growth for solar panels support a "buy" rating.
