Here is Why First Solar (FSLR) Fell Last Week

The share price of First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:FSLR) fell by 6.87% between May 20 and May 27, 2025, putting it among the Energy Stocks that Lost the Most This Week. Let's shed some light on the development.

First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:FSLR) is a leading American solar technology company and global provider of responsibly produced, eco-efficient solar modules.

First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:FSLR) suffered a setback last week after House Republicans passed a tax bill that terminates key clean energy credits that have been necessary to sustain the country’s solar energy industry. The ‘one big beautiful bill’ makes it impossible for solar energy players to claim or transfer tax credits, while terminating them completely for installers that lease equipment to customers.

However, as the biggest producer of solar panels in the U.S. with a large domestic manufacturing footprint, First Solar remained relatively unhurt since manufacturing subsidies do not appear to have been touched.

Another development working in favor of First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:FSLR) last week is when Jefferies analyst Julian Dumoulin-Smith updated the price target for FSLR from $127 to $157, while maintaining a Hold rating on the stock.
