FSLR
Published: October 07, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha

First Solar has emerged as a clear beneficiary of recent U.S. regulatory and political changes, making it a "Strong Buy" even after a 95% rally. FSLR's outlook is bolstered by preserved and expanded tax credits, protection from Chinese competition, and robust mid-term demand driven by legislative support.

First Solar: The Undisputed GOAT Of U.S. Clean Energy
FSLR
Published: August 29, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

Thematic macro investors with a tolerance for policy volatility can reap 100% gains in 12 months in a bull case. I definitively estimate a 40–50% return. Risks include long-term competition ramping, including advantages in novel crystalline silicon panels that counter the Levelized Cost of Energy advantage of First Solar's cadmium telluride at this stage.
