TOP PICK
First Solar Inc.
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

We reiterate this US domestic producer of solar panels as a TOP PICK.  The company is benefitting from $700 million tax credit incentives, allowing cash reserves to continue to grow.  It trades at 13x forward earnings and under 3x book value.  We recommend trailing up the stop (from $129) to $140, looking to achieve $228 -- upside potential over 30%.  Yield 0%

(Analysts’ price target is $228.24)

Recently reported earnings for FSLR easily exceeded analyst expectations, thanks to a 27% increase in revenues.  Total US solar installs are up 20% on the year and analysts expect a bigger year of growth ahead in the industry.  FSLR trades at 12x forward earnings and under 3x book value.  We recommend placing a stop-loss at $129, looking to achieve $234 -- upside potential of 46%.  Yield 0%

BUY ON WEAKNESS
First Solar Inc.

One of the few solar stocks that makes money. Have suffered from higher costs in raw materials and shipping, so reported a loss last year. This year, they are guiding for a high $7-8 EPS and $13 EPS in 2024. Trades at a cheap 12x 2024 PE. They sell to commercial customers much more than homeowners, so is less exposed to higher rates. Demand for products is high with orders through 2026. They make a superior product, using 98% fewer semi materials than their peers, therefore cheaper to produce. Shares have pulled back, so attractive.

Will benefit from the Inflation Reduction Act

Likes it because it's one of the few solar panel companies that is actually profitable. Shares are up 30% YTD, despite weakness in the group. It's best in breed.

TOP PICK
First Solar Inc.

We reiterate this solar module manufacturer as a TOP PICK.  As a US manufacturer, it is a major beneficiary of the Inflation Reduction Act tax incentives.  It has a growing order backlog.  We like that cash reserves are building while the company retires debt.  We continue to recommend a stop-loss at $171, looking to achieve $224 -- upside potential of 21%.  Yield 0%

TOP PICK
First Solar Inc.
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

We reiterate this international manufacturer of solar power panels.  Although latest earnings did not meet analyst expectations, things are still solid.  Sales back logs show they are sold out of product until into 2026 -- this will bring steady revenue.  Cash reserves are growing and debt is being reduced.  We recommend keeping the stop-loss at $168, looking to achieve $214 -- upside potential of 21% from here.  Yield 0%
