CURE rollout begins next month, targeting 8% more energy yield than TOPCon
First Solar reported record 2025 results, with revenue and EPS at the high end of guidance, and provided a 2026 outlook that projects slightly lower revenue but a significantly higher gross margin driven by $2.1B+ in 45X tax credits. Management was tactically long-term, emphasizing a fully allocated US production position, a large contracted backlog, and the optionality of curtailed Southeast Asian capacity as it awaits the outcome of trade policy and IP litigation. FY2025 revenue of $5.2B and EPS of $14.21 were at the top end of guidance.

Оценка менеджмента
Cautiously Confident
Management emphasized a strong backlog and balance sheet while highlighting ongoing policy, tariff, and underutilization headwinds, projecting a steady path to improve margins.
Инвестиции и мощности
Management guided 2026 capital expenditures to $0.8–$1.0 billion, with roughly half supporting capacity expansion, primarily the South Carolina finishing line and the Louisiana plant. The remainder is split evenly between CURE in India and R&D technology replication and maintenance.

“one recent industry publication noted that, quote, U.S. Customs is suggesting that no panels that came in during the moratorium qualified for the moratorium.”
The near-total curtailment of First Solar's Southeast Asian factories is acting as a strategic option, preserving capacity for potential supply constraints driven by policy, but is creating significant underutilization costs and warehousing expenses in 2026.
Доказательства
“we are looking at this as really an option to allow some of these potential tailwinds around 232 and other things to play itself out. to see what the impact of that could be to create more demand for those international operations.”
