- Thursday, November 1, 2012, 4:28 PM More on First Solar: Q3 sales drop blamed on completion of Nevada project and lower construction activity at Agua Caliente Arizona project.

Q3 gross margin was 28.4%, -930 bps Y/Y but +300 bps Q/Q, thanks to ongoing mix shift towards projects. Opex -16% Y/Y as restructuring efforts continue to bear fruit. FSLR now +2.6% AH.

- Tuesday, October 23, 2012, 10:37 AM Solar stocks (TAN -2.2%) are lower as DuPont (DD) notes a Q3 volume decline in photovoltaic materials. In total, DD's electronics and communications segment reported a 28% drop in revenues in the most recent quarter. FSLR -4.4%, SPWR -3.2%, STP -1.8%, TSL -1.1%. Comment! [Tech, Energy, On the Move]
- Monday, October 22, 2012, 4:33 PM Solar stocks (TAN +0.8%) enjoyed broad strength today as LDK Solar (LDK +21.1%) signed a share purchase agreement with Heng Rui Xin Energy and a new poll showed a large majority of Germans support the switch from nuclear to renewable energy despite the elevated cost. FSLR +1.1%, TSL +4.1%, SOL +4.8%, STP +9.3%. 1 Comment [Tech, Energy]
- Wednesday, October 17, 2012, 10:32 AM First Solar (FSLR +3.8%) adds to yesterday's gains on news it has won a contract to build a 13MW solar plant for the Dubai Electric and Water Authority. The project is set to be finished by Oct. '13, and could pave the way for future deals: Dubai has begun work on a solar park it hopes will eventually produce 1GW of electricity. 4 Comments [Tech, On the Move]

Premarket gainers: CYMI +63%. CREE +10%. FSLR +6%.
Losers: FTNT -17%. APOL -12%. STJ -6%. CHKP -5%. Comment! [On the Move] - Tuesday, October 16, 2012, 12:42 PM First Solar (FSLR +8%) jumps after signing an MOU with Indeonesia's PJB Services to develop 100MW worth of solar plants. First Solar, whose stabilizing financial position has much to do with its newfound emphasis on utility-scale solar projects relative to regular module sales, says the MOU is its first in Indonesia. (PR) (other recent deals: I, II, III) 4 Comments [Tech, On the Move]
- Thursday, October 11, 2012, 9:57 AM First Solar (FSLR +2.9%) is trekking higher following the U.S. government's official imposition of anti-dumping tariffs against Chinese solar vendors, and LDK Solar (LDK -2.9%) and Suntech (STP -2.7%) are doing the opposite. The Chinese government was quick to denounce the tariffs, which are accompanied by countervailing duties of 15%-16%. But some U.S. manufacturers are disappointed the duties don't cover Chinese solar modules made with non-Chinese cells. 5 Comments [Tech, On the Move]
- Wednesday, October 10, 2012, 5:03 PM The U.S. government has reportedly set anti-dumping duties of 18%-250% on Chinese solar imports. Provisional anti-dumping duties of 31%-250% were set in May. The Chinese government has been vocal about its displeasure with the duties, and is currently reviewing anti-dumping complaints made by Chinese polysilicon vendors against U.S. firms. 3 Comments [Tech]
- Monday, October 8, 2012, 10:33 AM First Solar (FSLR +3.7%) pops after announcing it will supply 50MW of modules for two solar plants in the Indian state of Rajasthan. Construction on the projection is expected to start this year, and finish in Q1 '13. First Solar announced in August it would develop solar farms in India, a market that's seeing demand pick up after a slow start. (PR) Comment! [Tech, On the Move]

Comment! - Friday, October 5, 2012, 9:58 AM First Solar (FSLR -7.7%) tumbles after receiving a downgrade to Negative from Positive from Avian, which claims the junction boxes accompanying First Solar's solar module installations are suffering from reliability issues. Avian, which smartly upgraded First Solar in May, notes the warranty on First Solar's modules lasts for 20 years. Solar stocks in general are selling off (TAN -1.9%) following a critical NYT column about Chinese production. TSL -3.5%. STP -3.5%. 6 Comments [Tech, On the Move]
