The company beat second-quarter estimates with EPS of $3.18 versus $2.68 consensus and raised its 2025 sales guidance to $4.90–$5.70 billion from $4.50–$5.50 billion, reflecting strong demand and operational efficiency. (Nasdaq)

First Solar lowered its 2025 net sales forecast to $4.5–$5.5 billion and EPS guidance to $12.50–$17.50 due to near-term challenges from U.S. tariffs on Southeast Asian imports and weakening U.S. residential demand. (Reuters)
President Trump’s proposed budget bill seeks to accelerate the expiry of key IRA tax credits and block 45X manufacturing credits, prompting manufacturers to pause or cancel about $8 billion in clean energy projects and stalling First Solar’s U.S. expansion plans. (Reuters)
In Q1 2025, First Solar slashed full-year guidance and warned of $100–$375 million in revenue headwinds from reciprocal tariffs set to take effect on July 9, 2025, causing its stock to plunge nearly 10% after hours and raising production idling risks. (Investing.com)
