Why First Solar stock is sliding today: Jefferies downgrade puts 2026 bookings in the spotlight

New York, Jan 7, 2026, 13:34 ET — Regular session Shares of First Solar (FSLR.O) fell about 10% on Wednesday after Jefferies downgraded the U.S. solar module maker to “Hold,” warning that expectations for 2026 are running ahead of what the company can likely deliver.

Plug Power stock edges higher premarket after Walmart scraps warrant and dilution overhang

NEW YORK, January 7, 2026, 08:35 EST — Premarket Plug Power (PLUG) shares rose about 1% in premarket trade on Wednesday after the hydrogen fuel-cell and electrolyzer maker said it struck a new agreement with Walmart that scraps Walmart’s long-running stock warrant.
