First Solar stock jolts traders after weak 2026 outlook; tariffs and permitting delays loom
First Solar shares fell nearly 14% after hours Tuesday as the company forecast 2026 net sales up to $5.2 billion, missing Wall Street’s $6.12 billion target. The company cited federal permitting delays and expects a $125–135 million tariff hit. Baird downgraded the stock and cut its price target to $205. First Solar also reported a patent licensing deal with Oxford PV for next-generation solar technology.
