Aktien Global News: Stardust Solar shines with strong Q2 - margins rise, franchise network grows

Frankfurt, August 24, 2025 (pta000/08/24/2025/08:30 UTC+2)

Stardust Solar demonstrated in the second quarter of 2025 how strongly the Canadian solar franchisor's business has picked up speed. The company reported revenue of $2.21 million for the first six months of the year – an increase of 13 percent over the same period last year. Particularly noteworthy: Gross profit increased by a whopping 84 percent to $1 million. The margin climbed from 28 to 45 percent.

Tailwind through economies of scale

The company attributes the jump in profitability primarily to economies of scale in its franchise and training model, as well as consistent cost control. And this momentum is continuing in new business: The project backlog—the total number of orders not yet realized—increased by 69 percent to $2.52 million in the quarter. For the year as a whole, the order backlog already totals $3.2 million—a record for Stardust Solar.

Growth across the board

A clear upward trend is also evident in the quarterly comparison: At $1.21 million, revenue in the second quarter was 21 percent higher than in Q1. Particularly encouraging: While revenue from product sales increased by 27 percent, income from training and examinations even rose by 39 percent. Franchise fees grew by 9 percent. At the same time, operating expenses were reduced by 13 percent in the quarter – despite the increase in revenue.

Balance sheet relieved, expansion accelerated

A look at the balance sheet also reveals positive developments: Current assets increased from $594,000 to $1.28 million within a year. At the same time, total debt fell by 36 percent to $1.75 million since the beginning of the year – primarily thanks to the repayment of loans and convertible bonds.

At the same time, Stardust Solar is rapidly expanding. The franchise network has grown from 83 to 96 territories since the beginning of the year and now stretches from Canada to the USA and the Caribbean. The company aims to reach 100 franchise territories by the end of 2025.

Outlook: Growth continues

CEO Mark Tadros expressed his satisfaction: "The second quarter of 2025 was an incredibly strong quarter for Stardust Solar. We achieved 13% year-over-year revenue growth, nearly doubled gross profit, and increased gross margin, while significantly reducing debt and lowering quarterly operating expenses."

Even though operating costs are higher year-on-year – primarily due to investments in marketing and franchise development – ​​management sees this as the engine for sustainable growth.

For the coming quarters, Stardust Solar is targeting further network expansion, new product partnerships, and the growing demand for clean energy in North America as drivers.

Conclusion: Stardust Solar is delivering strong figures, improving margins, and consistently expanding its business. With a record order backlog and dynamic franchise growth, the company is clearly poised for expansion.
