First Solar, Inc. manufactures solar modules for utility-scale projects. The company’s thin-film approach is built for large plants that feed electricity into the grid over long periods. Factories run on standardized lines, so developers can plan delivery and construction with fewer surprises. Product design favors durable output and traceable materials instead of short-term peaks. Field support helps projects perform in varied climates, and recycling programs sit alongside manufacturing to manage end of life. First Solar works with utilities and developers rather than retail buyers, positioning the brand as a supplier to power markets. The result is a factory-first model aimed at dependable capacity and straightforward execution.
TTM is calculated as the sum of the four most recently completed quarters. This is a standard approach when monthly or real-time data is not available.
First Solar's Technical Indicators Summary
First Solar’s price recently settled just below its short- and medium-term moving averages, which are all signaling selling pressure, while it remains above the longer-term 200-day averages that suggest some underlying support. Momentum indicators present a mixed picture: the RSI and CCI suggest caution with no clear directional bias, whereas the MACD and momentum readings lean toward weakness. The ADX reflects a lack of strong trend conviction, and moderate volatility is indicated by the average true range. Meanwhile, volume trends, as seen in the on-balance volume, point to some selling activity. Overall, these factors contribute to a neutral technical stance with no decisive momentum or trend strength presently dominant.
