SMA Solar stock (ISIN DE000A0DJ6J9) gains attention after HNA reported on September 20, 2026 that the solar technology group opened a Gigawatt factory near Kassel. The move gives the stock a clear operating peg, while the latest company context still centers on recent results and guidance.

Factory and margin pressure

According to HNA, the new plant in Niestetal is aimed at technology for large energy systems and was presented as an 80 million euro investment on September 20, 2026. That scale matters for investors because it points to capacity and automation rather than a short-term trading theme.

The same date also matters for the share price backdrop. SMA Solar stock closed at EUR 22.84 on the last completed trading day, with a market capitalization of about EUR 790 million and a 52-week range that still frames the move between EUR 10.94 and EUR 26.86 as of September 20, 2026.

Latest reported figures

For the most recent reported period, SMA Solar said in its half-year results for the six months ended June 30, 2026 that revenue reached EUR 685.0 million and EBITDA came in at EUR 46.3 million, according to SMA Solar. The company also pointed to a turnaround in profitability versus the prior-year period, when EBITDA had been negative.

That comparison is the key number for the stock story: EBITDA improved to EUR 46.3 million from a loss in the first half of 2025, while revenue of EUR 685.0 million shows the business is still operating at a sizable scale. For investors, the question is whether new capacity can support margins as the next reporting cycle approaches.

Stock level

SMA Solar stock traded at EUR 22.84 as of September 19, 2026, on Xetra. That leaves the shares well above the 52-week low of EUR 10.94 and below the 52-week high of EUR 26.86, with the latest market snapshot still defining the short-term range.
