Jefferies lowers estimates and its price target on First Solar (NASDAQ: FSLR) from $26 to $21 following Q1 miss. The firm also said the 2012 guidance raise is overly aggressive.
The analyst comments, "We believe FSLR's release of a new 5 year plan lacks credibility in light of its decision to pull out of the European market which still represents the majority of demand, and no product to address the more sustainable and easy to finance rooftop residential market. We also believe the company’s 2012 EPS guidance raise is overly aggressive and maintain our negatively biased HOLD."
Q2 EPS goes up from $0.69 to $0.74, FY12 EPS goes down from $3.97 to ($1.64) and FY13 EPS goes down from $4.34 to $4.15
