Disappointing guidance and analyst downgrades weigh on solar equipment maker outlook
First Solar declined 0.91% to $199.35 in premarket trading on March 19, 2026, extending weakness from a disappointing Q4 earnings report that showed the stock dropping 12.7% following flat 2026 guidance and concerns about forward booking visibility. Jefferies downgraded the solar equipment manufacturer from Buy to Hold, triggering a sharp 10% selloff, with additional downgrades from Guggenheim (target $269 from $312, March 17) and Evercore ISI (target $212 from $241, March 5) reflecting deteriorating fundamentals. The stock has declined 13.0% over the last 5 trading days amid sector headwinds and company-specific execution challenges.
