Apr 30, 2025

By Avi Salzman

First Solar, the country's largest solar manufacturer, said that tariffs will significantly reduce revenue and earnings this year, sending the stock down 11% in after-hours trading.

First Solar missed Wall Street's consensus expectation for the first quarter, reporting earnings of $1.95 a share versus the projection of $2.49 a share.

The company also revised guidance sharply lower. It said that tariffs could reduce its 2025 revenue from a range of $5.3 billion to $5.8 billion to a range of $4.5 billion to $5.5 billion. It reduced its earnings per share expectations from a range of $17 to $20 to a range of $12.50 to $17.50.
