Key Takeaways
JinkoSolar Holding Co. faces a securities fraud investigation from Pomerantz LLP after its stock fell nearly 12 percent on a surprise $200 million impairment charge.
The investigation concerns whether JinkoSolar and its officers engaged in "securities fraud or other unlawful business practices," according to a statement from Pomerantz LLP.
On April 16, JinkoSolar's American Depositary Receipt price closed down 11.89 percent at $21.34. The drop followed the company's fourth-quarter 2025 results, which included a non-cash impairment charge over $200 million and a GAAP loss of $214.5 million. These results were at odds with positive statements made by company officers during a November 17, 2025 earnings call.
The investigation adds legal pressure to JinkoSolar as it navigates a complex U.S. regulatory environment. The company recently sold a 75.1 percent stake in its U.S. manufacturing arm to private equity firm FH Capital to better comply with domestic manufacturing rules.
The probe could lead to a class-action lawsuit, posing significant financial and reputational risk for the company. Investors will be watching for the formal filing of a lawsuit and the company's response to the allegations.
