Canaan’s Solid Operations Recognized, Wall Street Investment Firm Rosenblatt Gives “Buy” Rating

Published

on

SINGAPORE, Sept. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Canaan Inc. (NASDAQ: CAN) has been recognized for its solid operations by Rosenblatt, a Wall Street investment firm that defines Canaan Inc. as “promising” in light of the upcoming BTC bull market, and initiating with a “buy” rating and a $3 price target for its stock over the next 12 months. The report shows that Canaan is significantly undervalued, trading at 0.6x EV/Sales, compared to 3.9x for its peer group, an undervaluation that stems from concerns about the company’s profitability and its perceived role as a hardware provider. However, As Canaan adjusts and continues to execute its strategy of expanding self-mining operations—using internally developed hardware in low-cost areas, and Canaan’s star products Avalonminer’s product features, resistance to corrosion,  salt and humidity, which helps it mine in low-cost and harsh environments, such as West Texas in the U.S and in the Middle East regions, the company is expected to benefit from bitcoin bull market. Rosenblatt expects its valuation to rise and come closer to the valuations of co-location service data center operators.

The agency’s report concludes:

– BTC Bull Market Opportunity to Drive Demand for Mining Machines: As the creator of the world’s first Bitcoin ASIC chip miner, Canan’s Avalonminer offers superior performance, energy efficiency, and durability. Demand for the A14-based rigs doubled revenue sequentially in 2Q24 following the April 2024 Bitcoin halving event; demand for Avalonminers A15 series and the upcoming A16 series in the product pipeline will continue to rise as Canaan continues to push the boundaries of its products.

– Adjusting Strategy to Focus on Expanding Self-mining Facilities, particularly in North America: Canaan’s management plans to increase captive mining capacity in North America from the current 0.65EH/s to 10EH/s by H1 2025, which is considered as an important move to vigorously develop captive mining revenues in a predictable growth market. In addition, Canaan is prioritizing the development of energy-efficient mining solutions. This not only positions the company favorably among environmentally conscious customers, but also enhances its competitive edge in the market.

– Extensive Patent Portfolio: Canaan’s strategy for sustainable growth includes a robust patent portfolio, with numerous patents related to ASIC chip technology and HPC. This intellectual property forms the backbone of Canaan’s competitive advantage and supports its long-term growth strategy.

– Actively Exploring Strategic Alliances and Partnerships: In addition, Canaan actively collaborates with other technology firms and research institutions to drive innovation and expand its market reach. These partnerships enable Canaan to stay at the forefront of technological advancements and offer cutting-edge solutions to its customers.

– Conclusion: Rosen Blatt recommends owning shares of Canaan based on several key drivers: the rising Bitcoin hash rate and price appreciation, driving heightened demand for Canaan’s next-generation mining rigs; Canaan’s strategic focus on expanding its more profitable self-mining operations with a focus on North America; and Canaan’s ruggedized rigs which enable mining in low-cost, harsh environments.

Rosenblatt is a research and investment banking boutique and agency focused on institutional brokers, providing specialized services in financial services, market structure and research.

In light of the 3-parties’ rating report, Canaan believes it offers a promising outlook for the company’s future growth potential and a positive recognition of its value. It could potentially contribute to enhancing public investor confidence, maintaining the company’s share price, and improving its capital market image, which could in turn facilitate the company’s long-term development.

(NASDAQ: CAN) is a technology company focusing on ASIC high-performance computing chip design, chip research and development, computing equipment production, and software services. Canaan has extensive experience in chip design and streamlined production in the ASIC field.

Fox ESS Celebrates Strong Momentum with Integrated Solar Storage & Charging Solutions at Smart Energy 2026

Published

on

By

SYDNEY, May 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Fox ESS, a global leader in renewable energy solutions, attended Smart Energy 2026 during 6-7 May as a platinum sponsor. At the event, Fox ESS showcased its next-generation approach to solar storage and EV charging solution, delivering a seamless, future-ready energy experience for homeowners and installers across Australia.

Integrated Solutions Tailored for Aussie Homes

At Smart Energy 2026, Fox ESS highlighted its storage-to-charging solution, designed to make everyday energy use more convenient for local residents. With performance-led products and proven market traction, Fox ESS is set to play its part in building a more resilient energy future for Australia.

Battery Systems

Fox ESS continues to build momentum in the battery market. Sunwiz, an Australian solar consultancy, recently reported that Fox ESS ranked No.1 in March for installation capacity. And the company also revealed it has installed more than 25,000 systems in April. During the exhibition, Sunwiz presented Fox ESS with an award, recognising the company as Top Solar Company for Fastest Growing Battery.

CQ7 V6+ High Voltage Battery (42kWh and above)
Building on Fox ESS’ proven strengths, compact design and high capacity, CQ7 V6+ is well suited to medium-sized households and ensure the free use of electricity and maximize the self-consumption.EQ4800 High Voltage Battery (28kWh)
A reliable choice for smaller households, designed for efficient day-to-day energy storage.

Alongside its battery range, Fox ESS showcased all-in-one systems, including Stackable AIO and EVO, designed to simplify installation while maintaining a high standard of design and presentation.

Inverters

Fox ESS offers a range of inverters to suit local requirements, supported by up to 200% PV oversizing and a 10-year product warranty.

Single-phase: H1‑G2 (3–6kW); KH series (7–10.5kW)Three-phase: H3 Smart (5–15kW); H3 Pro (15–29.9kW); H3 Plus (50–125kW)

EV Chargers

With EV adoption accelerating, Fox ESS also offers EV charging solutions with solar linkage, designed to work across its inverter portfolio. The chargers provide robust, smart energy management, including dynamic load balancing to help protect home circuits.

A Series (7.3kW / 11kW / 22kW): IP65 and IK08 protection, OCPP-compliant.L Series (7.3kW / 11kW): straightforward installation with multiple colour options.

Big Battery Still Takes Centre Stage

As the Cheaper Home Battery Program moves into a new phase under an updated rebate policy, interest in larger battery systems continues to grow, particularly as more households consider EV upgrades amid rising fuel costs. More EVs typically mean households need greater energy availability, making higher-capacity storage an increasingly attractive option.

Looking ahead, from 1 July 2026, the Australian Government’s Solar Sharer Offer (SSO) will provide eligible households with three hours of free daily electricity to align with peak solar generation. Households with larger batteries will be well placed to make the most of this opportunity.

Fox ESS is also working with local VPP partners, including Amber Electric and Origin Loop VPP, helping homeowners unlock maximum value while supporting greater grid stability.

Maimai Comes Alive at the Exhibition

Visitors to the Fox ESS stand experienced a full programme of brand activations across the event. Following the online announcement, Sydney served as Maimai’s first physical stop, bringing the community together for face-to-face engagement. Attendees queued to take photos with the brand’s friendly and recognisable mascot.

Long-Term Commitment to Australia

Fox ESS has opened two local offices in Melbourne and Sydney, with more than 30 dedicated specialists supporting local customer needs. The company is also looking to play a wider role in Australia’s energy transition.

Notably, Ian Thorpe made his first in-person appearance at Fox Night, where he presented partners with awards. At the event party, Fox ESS also hosted a battery installation challenge, featuring eight rounds of competition, with the final winners receiving a range of prizes.

“We’re delighted to see such a strong result following the rollout of local policy. With nearly 400,000 Australian households now installing batteries, Fox ESS has played a key role, but this is only the beginning. We’re committed to keeping momentum and helping make a smarter, more reliable energy future a reality for more homes.” said Brooks Richard Geng, APAC & Middle East Managing Director, Fox ESS.
