Отчётный звонок First Solar, Inc.
Вывод Buzzberg
CURE launch complete; rollout through 2028 could add $0.6B revenue.
First Solar reported a record Q1 with strong margins and EBITDA, but the key signals were about the policy-dependent future of its US and international capacity. Management reiterated its selective booking strategy, waiting on the Section 232 decision to unlock demand and potentially re-engage its Southeast Asian capacity. The competitive landscape is being shaped by IP enforcement against TopCon and the ramp of its new CURE technology. Record Q1 revenue of $1B and adjusted EBITDA of $520M, exceeding guidance.

If Tesla adopts TopCon for its US manufacturing, it may infringe on First Solar's IP, potentially leading to licensing negotiations or legal action.
Доказательства
“I do think it's one of the challenges that you know, tesla's going to have to figure out what what technology they go with and how do they get freedom to operate”

First Solar holds ~1.8-2GW of fully-finished module capacity in Malaysia/Vietnam that is tethered to the 232 tariff decision.
Доказательства
“There's only about, call it 1.8 gigawatts, maybe closer to two of real capacity. So what we're talking about is from a full-size finishing module capacity perspective.”
First Solar is pricing its new CURE technology into base ASPs, reducing the prevalence of technology adjusters in new contracts.
Доказательства
“For the windows of which we for sure are going to be delivering the cure product, we'll just price it as the contract. And you won't necessarily continue to see the adders.”
India module demand is strong, with ASPs at ~$0.20/watt, but Q3 demand softens.
Доказательства
“Q3, we see a little bit of softness generally in India, and then you'll see a stronger Q4.”
