First Solar: The One Green Energy Play I Like Under This Administration

I am bullish on First Solar due to its superior thin-film technology, higher margins, and strong positioning in large-scale utility projects versus retail-focused peers. FSLR benefits from U.S.-based manufacturing, avoiding tariff impacts and supply chain risks that hurt competitors relying on imported silicon modules. Robust policy support, tax credits, and global expansion—especially in India—fuel growth, though risks remain around policy changes and commodity price swings.

First Solar: The Undisputed GOAT Of U.S. Clean Energy

First Solar has a 64 GW backlog and is the dominant leader at the confluence of U.S. manufacturing support, constraints on foreign-connected competitors, and autonomous technology increasing energy demands. 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.

3 Cheap Stocks That Shouldn't Be This Low

All stocks in the market go through their own ebb and flow cycles; there are no exceptions.
