The latest update is out from FTC Solar ( (FTCI) ).

FTC Solar, Inc., a solar energy company reliant on credit facilities to support its operations, had reclassified its $19.9 million term loan as current debt after breaching a purchase order-related covenant under its July 2, 2025 credit agreement as of the quarter ended December 31, 2025. Following a Second Amendment and Limited Waiver executed on March 23, 2026, which waived the prior covenant breach and deferred the purchase order covenant until the quarter ending March 31, 2027, the loan balance will now be reflected as long-term debt for that period, easing near-term balance-sheet pressure.

Under the March 23, 2026 amendment, FTC Solar agreed to make principal repayments totaling $10 million in 2026 and accepted tighter financial covenants, including minimum unrestricted cash balances, escalating quarterly revenue thresholds from June 30, 2026 onward, and EBITDA minimums of $10 million for 2026 and $25 million for 2027 and beyond. These revised terms, along with new requirements on direct tracker margins and future purchase orders, raise performance and liquidity hurdles for the company, heightening execution risk but preserving access to its term loan and averting an immediate default.

The most recent analyst rating on (FTCI) stock is a Hold with a $5.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on FTC Solar stock, see the FTCI Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on FTCI Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, FTCI is a Neutral.

The score is held down primarily by weak financial performance (deep losses, ongoing cash burn, and negative equity) and bearish technical trends (price below major moving averages with negative MACD). These are partly offset by a relatively constructive earnings-call outlook highlighting strong revenue momentum, improved margins/EBITDA trajectory, and a large backlog—though near-term guidance and covenant/tariff risks remain meaningful.
