Individual Stock Holdings Spotlight Canadian Solar CSIQ

Besides using Acorns Invest and Stash Invest apps, I also have individual stock holdings using Motif Investing.

Today, I will tell you about my individual stock holding Canadian Solar Inc. CSIQ listed on Nasdaq.

I bought 61 shares of CSIQ at $16.29/share on May 4, 2016. Since then CSIQ has risen to $17.04/share. I am currently up 4.60%. It was up $18.08 on Wednesday, but since went down.

Why invest in Canadian Solar?

I invested in Canadian Solar mostly because it was down too much and I believe that it will trade above $19/share.



It recently released its earnings on Wednesday.

The solar company reported adjusted first-quarter earnings of 39 cents a share on revenue of $721 million, blowing past expectations for 14 cents a share on sales of $663 million, according to consensus estimates from Thomson Reuters.

Canadian Solar also raised its full-year sales guidance. The company said that it now expects $3 billion to $3.2 billion in revenue for 2016. It had previously forecast $2.9 billion to $3.1 billion in sales for the year. The stock was up more than 12 percent on Wednesday.

Long or Short?

I am not long on this stock. This stock range from $21-$15/share. I will sell when it hits $19/share.
