The complaint, docketed as 26-cv-03787, claims that First Solar executives overstated their capacity to manage trade barriers in Malaysia and Vietnam. While management characterized the shifting policy environment as a long-term advantage, plaintiffs allege the company failed to disclose that intentional underutilization of international production facilities and relocation efforts would severely hamper 2026 fiscal performance.
Financial cracks appeared on January 7, 2026, when Jefferies downgraded the stock, citing margin compression and persistent international manufacturing hurdles. First Solar shares dropped 10.29% that day. The situation worsened on February 24, 2026, when the company reported earnings that missed market expectations and issued lower-than-anticipated revenue guidance. Following this announcement, Baird Research cut its rating, and the stock price fell another 13.61% to close at $210.12. Investors who acquired securities during the specified period have until August 24, 2026, to petition the court for lead plaintiff status.
