First Solar's Quarterly Earnings Preview: What You Need to Know

With a market cap of $24.5 billion, First Solar, Inc. (FSLR) is America's leading photovoltaic (PV) solar technology and manufacturing company and the only U.S.-headquartered firm among the world's largest solar manufacturers. The company develops advanced thin-film PV technology in its California and Ohio R&D labs, offering a high-performance, responsibly produced alternative to conventional crystalline silicon solar modules while maintaining an integrated manufacturing process independent of Chinese crystalline silicon supply chains.

The Phoenix, Arizona-based company is slated to announce its fiscal Q2 2026 results soon. Ahead of this event, analysts expect FSLR to report a profit of $2.85 per share, a 10.4% decline from $3.18 per share in the year-ago quarter. It has exceeded Wall Street's earnings expectations in two of the past four quarters while missing on two other occasions.
