Daqo New Energy Corp. receives a third consecutive Sell rating due to persistent structural and profitability challenges. DQ's production costs exceed polysilicon selling prices, utilization rates remain below 50%, and gross margins are deeply negative. Despite a recent rally and increased output guidance, DQ's market cap is unsupported by its $22.3M projected annual gross profit and ongoing losses.
