Baird analyst Ben Kallo named First Solar (NASDAQ: FSLR) his Top Solar Pick for 2015. However, while maintaining an Outperform rating the firm cut its price target to $62.00 (from $87.00).

Kallo commented, ". FSLR is our top solar pick for 2015, which appears to be a contrarian play as the stock has poor sentiment because of FSLR's focus on utility-scale projects. That said, FSLR remains an industry leader, and we expect efficiency gains, cost reductions, entrance into new markets, and FSLR’s upcoming analyst day (which should provide clarity around a yieldco/holdco strategy) to be positive catalysts in 2015."
