$FSLR heads for a lower open as
#TrumpTariffs cast a shadow over its business, impacting both results and guidance.
#FirstSolar reported a 6.35% y/y rise in Q1 sales - its slowest growth in nearly three years - and lowered its 2025 outlook.

Nevertheless, First Solar sees these as short-term challenges and remains optimistic about underlying
#SolarDemand, still expecting growth in sales and operating profits this year.
Furthermore, steep duties on cheap Southeast Asian solar cells could offer support to domestic firms.
