As previously reported, BofA/Merrill upgraded First Solar to Buy from Neutral and raised its price target to $83 from $75. Analyst Julien Dumoulin-Smith said recent data is increasingly positive with unabated year-over-year Chinese solar demand, domestic safe harbor datapoints firming with a potential release in a couple months, firming domestic pricing, less likely import tariff exemptions, and a constructive cost trajectory for Series 65.

Wells Fargo notes that a group of seven domestic solar product makers, including First Solar (FSLR), filed a petition to levy anti-dumping and countervailing duties on solar imports from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam, looking for duties ranging from 70.4% to 271.5%. The firm, which included the "important reminder" that "this is just a petition," says the uncertainty created by the petition is "incrementally positive" for First Solar and negative for Canadian Solar (CSIQ), Array Technologies (ARRY) and Nextracker (NXT).
