Following the change, American depositary shares are expected to continue trading on the NYSE under the ticker symbol JKS. The name change reflects the company's evolving role at the group level after the listing of its majority-owned operating subsidiary, Jinko Solar Co. Ltd. Going forward, the company plans to pursue two strategies: maintaining its controlling stake in Jinko Solar for industrial holdings, and making strategic minority investments in high-growth sectors tied to China's technological innovation and energy transition. Representative investments include Moonshot AI, StepFun, SiliconFlow, Noetix Robotics, Taiyi Quantum, and Janbon Metallic Materials. JKS shares were up 2.7% premarket.
