Bulls Say
Market Position And DemandFSLR's 73.3GW contracted backlog speaks to a strong level of demand, allowing them to be selective in securing new bookings at healthy ASPs.
Production And Manufacturing StrategyThe company sees an opportunity to leverage the updated Safe Harbor guidance and the IRA domestic content bonus to shift production from India to the U.S. market, aiming for better margins.
Strategic Positioning And Policy BenefitsFSLR is a winner under the IRA in terms of increasing earnings power and visibility as developers race to secure domestic solar modules.
Bears Say
CompetitionCrystalline silicon competitors are likely to start building more U.S. factories due to better economics, which is negative for First Solar.
Financial PerformanceQ3 results missed consensus estimates for key metrics as the impact of shipments from India was greater than modeled.
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.
