If you believe CSIQ can materially improve margins, reverse negative revenue growth, and reduce leverage, then the stock may have upside from its depressed historical trading band because the current price already reflects severe distress; otherwise, the NOW-based implied valuation is not a reliable anchor for CSIQ.
The valuation gap is extreme: CSIQ trades at 0.2x P/S and 1.4x EV/Revenue versus NOW at 8.3x P/S and 7.9x EV/Revenue, which mechanically creates a very large implied-price gap. However, the gap is driven largely by fundamentally different business models and quality profiles, so the headline upside from NOW multiple is not a reliable standalone signal.
