KeyBanc Upgrades First Solar as Valuation Limits Downside
KeyBanc Capital Markets upgraded First Solar (FSLR) from Underweight to Sector Weight, citing a significant decline in the stock's valuation this year that now appears more attractive and could limit further downside. The firm emphasized that while it still sees risks ahead for the solar panel manufacturer, the current price levels make the stock less vulnerable to sharp declines. The upgrade reflects KeyBanc’s view that First Solar is trading at a discount relative to its peers and fundamentals, despite ongoing challenges in the broader renewable energy sector. Analysts noted that macroeconomic headwinds and supply chain issues continue to affect the industry but believe these factors are already priced into FSLR's stock.
