First Solar insiders sold over $1.3 million in stock amid earnings miss and concerns over declining backlog and future tax credit cuts.

On March 9, 2026, multiple First Solar insiders, including CEO Mark Widmar, sold shares totaling over $1.3 million, with transactions filed with the SEC. The sales follow the company’s Q4 earnings release on February 24, reporting $4.84 EPS, below estimates, despite 11.1% revenue growth. Stock rose to $197.80 on March 10, with analysts divided, maintaining a consensus “Moderate Buy” rating. Concerns persist over a shrinking backlog and the future impact of U.S. solar tax credit phase-outs starting in 2030.
