First Solar: IRA Tax Credit 'Intact', Stock Remains My Top Solar Pick
FSLR
Published: July 10, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Neutral

The July 7th Trump Executive Order on eliminating IRS tax credits does not include First Solar's Section 45X for now. The extended reciprocal tariff deadline into early August renews tariff risks, and I expect potential trade deals could still maintain a higher tariff rate, pressuring margins. 2Q FY2025 earnings could face added pressure on gross margin and EPS after Trump raised steel and aluminum tariffs to as much as 50% on June 4th.

First Solar: Civilizations Die Before The Sun

Published: June 20, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Neutral

The potential policy headwinds from the OBBBA related to solar power are real in the long term, but ironically they could boost near-term returns and allow First Solar to dominate. I'm not naïve about the fact that there will be a cyclical downturn eventually, but I'm eyeing up a $290 price within the next 12 months. At $250, I'll reassess. Solar power is going to rise in cycles. It's the most important energy asset of the modern age, and First Solar will be front and center in the U.S.
