Ariel's non-consensus approach seeks to identify undervalued, out-of-favor, franchises that are misunderstood and therefore mispriced.

First Solar Inc (NASDAQ:FSLR) reported mixed results for the third quarter on Thursday.
First Solar's advantage goes beyond tariffs and tax credits. Its CdTe process is hard to replicate at scale, and its non-Chinese supply chain keeps getting more valuable. Recent U.S. bookings near $0.36/W suggest pricing is holding up, and the Section 232 import measures starting December 4 should strengthen its position. Section 45X credits make up most of today's profit, but FSLR operated profitably before the Inflation Reduction Act and continues to demonstrate unsubsidized manufacturing profitability in India.
