First Solar, Inc. (FSLR)
First Solar: No Floor In Sight - Pending Further Policy Clarity (Rating Downgrade)
FSLR's oversold status has been observed in its solar/renewable peers, thanks to the uncertainty surrounding the US renewables policy over the next four years. Combined with the polysilicon oversupply/dumping and the ongoing tariff war, we are likely to see further volatility ahead. The same headwind has also been reported by FSLR, as observed in the drastically moderating net bookings/ backlog, manufacturing under utilization, and delayed delivery schedule.
First Solar: A Buy Beyond The Numbers
First Solar appears undervalued with a forward P/E of 8.1x, but the 45X tax credit significantly distorts its profitability and valuation. Excluding the 45X credit, FSLR's valuation is less attractive, with an EV/EBIT multiple of 34x and high capital needs. Political risks and potential repeal of the 45X credit pose significant challenges, but tariffs and domestic manufacturing support could stabilize FSLR.
