Jefferies upgraded First Solar (NASDAQ: FSLR) from Hold to Buy with a price target of $132 (up from $115).

The firm said, "In our opinion FSLR is now the most defensive name in solar as risks to its 2H have moderated. We see positive risk/reward using a conservative Sum-of-the-Parts valuation sanity check, and upgrade to BUY from Hold with a new $132 PT. We note an upward bias to PT on potential identified catalysts."
