What the filing says
First Solar reported Q2 2026 net sales of $1.06 billion (down 4% YoY from $1.10 billion), driven by customer contract terminations offset by higher third-party module sales. Net income per diluted share increased 23% to $3.92 from $3.18 YoY; adjusted EBITDA rose to $644 million from $560 million. The company reaffirmed full-year 2026 guidance: $4.9B–$5.2B net sales, 17.0–18.2 GW volume sold, $2.6B–$2.8B adjusted EBITDA, and $0.8B–$1.0B capex. Cash balance declined to $1.7 billion from $2.4 billion at year-end 2025, driven by seasonal working capital and South Carolina facility capex. Contracted backlog stands at 45.1 GW through 2030.
Why this rating
Guidance reaffirmed unchanged; revenue down modestly but EPS and EBITDA up significantly YoY despite sales decline. Results ordinary; no major M&A, leadership change, or strategic shift. Material in absolute terms (~$1.06B sales) but routine for a $17.7B company.
