First Solar Under Scrutiny as Pomerantz Probes Potential Securities Violations

First Solar US3364331070

The U.S. solar company First Solar is facing legal pressure after Pomerantz LLP said it is reviewing possible misstatements by management or other securities-law issues. The probe follows Jefferies’ early-January downgrade, which warned of margin pressure, sizable order cancellations, and a potential hit to profitability through 2025.

• Pomerantz LLP is examining whether shareholders were harmed by improper business practices or misleading statements from the company and its leadership.
• Jefferies had previously flagged reduced guidance, meaningful order cancellations, and mounting margin pressures that could weigh on results through the end of 2025.

The stock has been volatile. On Friday, First Solar advanced near 3% intraday and closed at $226.90. Week-to-date, the shares are up about 3.2%. Over the past year, the equity has climbed more than 41%, but it has slipped 17.7% year-to-date, underscoring growing skepticism about near-term profitability.

Focus on February 24

On Tuesday, February 24, 2026, after the U.S. market closes, First Solar will release its fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results. The outlook for 2026 will be closely watched. Investors are looking for clarity on how capacity expansions in the United States and investments in new thin-film technologies will influence competitiveness and whether the current headwinds in margins can be offset.
