Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Earnings And Revenue GrowthFSLR is a winner under the IRA in terms of increasing earnings power and visibility as developers race to secure domestic solar modules.
Market PositioningFSLR is well positioned to outperform peers given its sold out capacity through most of '27 and support from current and new administration in form of tariffs on imports.
Technological AdvancementsFSLR continues to improve its technology which could expand the total addressable market to other markets like rooftop in the future.
Bears Say
Market CompetitionCrystalline silicon competitors are likely to start building more U.S. factories due to better economics, which is negative for First Solar.
Product Quality IssuesQuality issues with Series 6+ and Series 7 panels are a risk factor for FSLR's near-term performance.
Regulatory ChallengesIt is unclear if First Solar can receive benefits from the 48D incentives, as its technology does not fit the narrow definition set by the act.
