Bull and bear cases balanced — no clear edge
First Solar is well-positioned in the growing renewable energy sector, with its focus on efficient thin-film solar panels driving sustainable growth amid global transitions to green energy. Recent earnings reports show consistent EPS beats, such as 4.67 vs estimate 4.47, indicating strong financial performance and potential for upward revisions. Technically, the price is holding above key support at 214 with a rising RSI trend, suggesting building momentum for a breakout towards resistance at 251 and beyond to 52-week highs, supported by the company's innovation in solar technology.
Technical indicators on the 4h timeframe show a strong bearish signal, with RSI below 50 and SMA20 below SMA50, indicating downward momentum and a potential continuation of the sideways-to-bearish trend. The overall market regime is transitioning from bull to bear, with growth stocks like those in the tech sector underperforming (QQQ down 1.76%), which directly pressures FSLR as a solar technology company. Widening credit spreads and USD strength further support a risk-off environment, increasing downside risk for high-beta stocks like FSLR, which is down 16.76% from its 52-week high.
