The first rate pain continues with First Solar (FSLR). At the time of posting, First Solar has dropped over 4% (to $108) in after hours trading upon the release of its 2009 annual report<\/a>. No doubt the seventeen pages describing risk factors contributed to the latest reason to sell First Solar shares. These morbid details are a flash reminder of the numerous risks facing First Solar and most other solar companies. This after-hours loss wipes out the broad intra-day gains in solar stocks on news that Germany may only cut subsidies by 15% instead of 25%<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This reaction is little different than the reaction to last year’s release of the 2008 annual report<\/a> (February 25, 2009). At that time, First Solar had just released a horrific earnings report that sent the stock down 21.8%. FSLR closed down another 2.5% after the market had absorbed the news from the annual report. The good news is that after another day of selling, FSLR finally bottomed for the year (intra-day low of $101.53 and closing low of $105).<\/p>\n

It is too early to guess whether another bottom is in place (I thought a bottom was in the making BEFORE last week’s earnings), but at this rate, the lows from last February are almost sure to get tested. (Click here<\/a> for a review of the overbought conditions in FSLR’s stock prior to earnings and the massive and record short interest in the stock).<\/p>\n

Be careful out there!<\/p>\n
