Bernstein SocGen Group Reiterates Underperform Rating on First Solar (FSLR)

Bernstein SocGen Group analyst Sunaina Ocalan reiterated an Underperform rating and $217.00 price target on First Solar (NASDAQ: FSLR).

The analyst commented: "We initiated last week on Power and Energy Transition, and we’ve got some push back on our Underperform on FSLR, mainly around how we’re not giving them credit for Section 232 tariffs, or a possible 45X extension. We believe the bull case hinges on:1) Section 232 tariffs on polysilicon imports that would limit solar panel imports into the US and hence allow FSLR to maintain or raise ASPs and not lose market share. 2) The extension of 45x tax credits beyond 2032, allowing FSLR to offset costs and maintain current margins beyond our modeled phase-out year. 3) A growing U.S. utility scale solar market."
