On April 7, Jefferies analyst Julien Dumoulin-Smith reduced the firm’s price target on First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:FSLR) from $205 to $187, while keeping a ‘Hold’ rating on the shares.

Jefferies highlighted growing concerns regarding the rising logistics costs impacting the solar energy industry, driven by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. The analyst firm expects these issues to weigh on near-term margins, leading it to trim its outlook on First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:FSLR).

First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:FSLR) is targeting net sales in the range of $4.9 billion and $5.2 billion for FY 2026. It needs mentioning that the company’s revenue surged by 24% YoY to $5.2 billion in FY 2025, so the guidance of flat to a decline in revenue for the current year didn’t sit well with both analysts and investors. As a result, the stock has plunged by over 16% since reporting its Q4 2025 earnings on February 24. However, Wall Street continues to believe in the potential of the solar technology company, leading to its high upside of over 24% from the current levels.
