JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. (NYSE: JKS) announced that its board of directors has approved a proposal to rename the company Jinko Holdings Limited, with a Chinese dual foreign name of "晶科控股有限公司." The name change requires shareholder approval at an annual general meeting scheduled for October 21, 2026, and completion of applicable regulatory procedures. The company's American depositary shares are expected to continue trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "JKS."

According to a press release, the proposed name change reflects the company's evolution into a holding structure built around two strategies: maintaining a controlling stake in its majority-owned subsidiary Jinko Solar Co., Ltd. (SSE: 688223), and pursuing minority investments in sectors including artificial intelligence, renewable energy, advanced materials, and commercial space.

The company disclosed several portfolio investments, including Moonshot AI, StepFun, SiliconFlow, Noetix Robotics, Taiyi Quantum, and Janbon Metallic Materials. Recent financing activity among portfolio companies includes Moonshot AI completing a approximately $2.0 billion financing round in May 2026 at a reported post-money valuation of approximately $20 billion, and StepFun closing a Series B+ round of more than RMB5.0 billion in January 2026. SiliconFlow and Janbon Metallic Materials each submitted listing applications to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in June and July 2026, respectively.

The company also reported value-realization activity. Portfolio company Gold Electronic completed its listing on the ChiNext Market in the second quarter of 2026, generating fair value gains of over RMB400 million on a consolidated basis in the first half of 2026. During the same period, the company disposed of a substantial portion of its equity interest in LAPLACE Renewable Energy Technology Co., Ltd., generating cash proceeds of more than RMB300 million and a cumulative realized gain exceeding RMB250 million net of original cost and transaction fees.

Chief Executive Officer Dimi Du stated that the proposed name reflects the company's position as "a holding company anchored in a world-class solar and energy storage business and building a second engine of value creation through strategic investment."
