On May 29, Daqo Energy held a performance presentation for 2024 and the first quarter of 2025.

Many enterprises, including the company, have withstood cyclical shocks through production control, technological upgrading and financial optimization.
Xu Xiang believes that at present, the supply and demand pattern of silicon materials has not been significantly improved , superimposed on the high level of industry inventory and stock capacity , the price of silicon materials has limited momentum to rise in a short period of time.
Xu Xiang also said that in view of the existing problems and challenges in the photovoltaic industry , the competent authorities, industry associations and industrial enterprises have put forward a variety of exploration programs, reflecting the strong will of the relevant parties for the healthy development of the industry. No matter what kind of timetable and roadmap the exploration plan landed smoothly, for the photovoltaic industry itself, it has been on the road to improvement.
