Green Future for the U.S.

DQ investors are buoyed by the recent announcement by U.S. President Biden that saw him pledge to cut United States greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030. Should this pledge become more concretized and affect changes in state and federal policies, DQ will be exposed to a scope hitherto unprecedented for the company.

Supply Agreement with Gaojing

Currently, the company is experienced increasing demand for its polysilicon products, as indicated by its recent announcement that DQ had signed a three-year supply agreement with Gaojing Solar Energy Technology for the provision of high-purity polysilicon. The agreement sees DW providing Gaojing with 45,900 MT of high-purity mono-grade polysilicon in the period between June 2021 and May 2024. The pricing will be determined and updated monthly based on market conditions at the time.

Future Outlook for DQ

With a solid recent financial track record, indications of steadily increasing demand, and a president that is keen to stimulate the alternative energy sector, DQ is poised to leverage its resources for further growth. Investors hope the company will continue to push to expand its footprint in the alternative energy sector in the interest of increasing shareholder value.
