Sign InIn a move reflecting the accelerating pace of renewable energy investment in the United States, TOYO has announced ambitious plans to establish an HJT solar cell manufacturing facility in Houston, Texas, with a capital investment of $357 million. The company has successfully secured master supply agreements with U.S. developers for solar module purchase orders totaling approximately $185.6 million. Furthermore, unaudited financial results for the first quarter of 2026 revealed strong operational performance, with the company reporting revenue of $142.8 million and net income of $28.4 million.
This strategic expansion comes as the clean energy sector seeks to leverage incentives provided by the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which has prompted competitors like First Solar and JinkoSolar to increase their domestic production capacities. According to market data, TOYO's investment in HJT (Heterojunction Technology) positions it in direct competition with firms focusing on high conversion efficiency, a trend driven by large-scale project developers aiming to lower the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE).
Regarding market performance, TOYO stock stood at $12.13 (at close June 18, 2026), after reaching an intra-day high of $13.16. Investors are now looking forward to construction timeline updates for the Texas plant, while also monitoring U.S. economic data affecting the housing and construction sectors, such as Building Permits and Housing Starts, which showed recent slowdowns that could impact future residential demand.
